Pipe Organisation Advice

Looking for tips on transporting large quantities of water 24+ pipelines and well organised ways to branch each pipeline off. photos would be appreciated but not neccessary

If it is for a large distance make a blueprint where you put supports on the middle and both sides, connect them and then remove the supports on the sides. Then use autoconnect when placing the blueprint. You can just make smaller blueprints for when a pipe goes out. For short distance idk

My most helpful advice here would be to consider moving the recipient closer/on top of the water

I dunno what you're doing, but for example, 1 belt of nuclear fuel is easier to transport than 26 pipelines, if feasible

I can send you a solution in the evening, I built something like this for 25 nuclear plants.

I usually did 6x3 pipe supports. They carried 18, and fit nicely in the middle of a foundation. Maybe for 24, you can do 2 foundations next to each other and use 6x4 stackable pipe supports. So 6 in width and 4 in height.

Then fkr verticality, I used vertical floor holes for ease, using horizontal to vertical build mode

Minimize complication. Move operations to water source. Build directly above water extractors.

Transporting large quantities of water. Preferably, don't. Keep your production involving water close to the water. Transporting manufactured items or power is a whole lot easier.

If you must, keep things small and modular. Sloshing is going to be a problem, so build to deal with it. Avoid a massive bunch of extractors feeding multiple pipes with multiple manifolds at the other end. Do not connect the pipework of modules together.
