The Water industry faces a significant problem in reducing water turbidity. The introduction and enhancement of proactive operation and maintenance techniques to reduce turbidity can be facilitated by the capacity to predict the geographical probability and severity of turbidity in distribution systems. In this study, the Particle Sediment Model (PSM) is used to simulate turbidity in a water distribution system. This study sought to ascertain how water treatment facilities impact the turbidity of tap Water. The Al-Saray water distribution network in Kufa city /Najaf Governorate is covered by the work The impact of water turbidity on the network revealed that the source of the particles entering the network is the treatment facility. The highest turbidity values in the system were recorded at 9.67, 16.68, 13.38, 11.30, 9.82, and 5.27 NTU when the source sediment quality (effluent turbidity from WTP) met the standard specifications of (5) NTU, while the highest values were noted when the source sediment quality (26.6) NTU was at 51.35, 101.02, 77.64, 62.94, 52.46, and 20.22 NTU. Failure to carry out continuous cleaning of the network and poor water treatment from drinking water treatment plants are among the most important reasons for the rise in turbidity in drinking water.
