Abstract The increasing need for sustainable and resilient urban infrastructure has led to a focus on designing optimized sewerage systems that ensure hydraulic efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental compatibility. This research presents the design and optimization of a sewerage network for Bankapur Town through the application of SewerGEMS software integrated with Geographic Information System (GIS) tools. GIS technology was utilized to extract and analyze spatial information such as elevation, topography, and land-use patterns, enabling accurate alignment of sewer lines according to terrain characteristics, population distribution, and projected urban development. Hydraulic simulation using SewerGEMS facilitated the evaluation of flow behavior, pipe diameter selection, network configuration, and pumping station requirements, with optimization strategies targeting energy conservation and reduced construction costs. GIS-based spatial mapping supported the delineation of catchment areas, assessment of flood-prone zones, and identification of suitable sewer alignments. Furthermore, climate resilience considerations were incorporated to enhance the long-term operational reliability of the system under conditions of urban expansion and variable rainfall intensity. The outcomes highlight that integrating GIS with SewerGEMS substantially enhances the efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability of sewerage network planning. This approach contributes to the development of smart wastewater management systems by merging geospatial data analysis with hydraulic modeling for effective and future-ready urban infrastructure.
