Water supply & Sewage Disposal Worksheet

1. In water supply point of view what do mean Transmission line & Distribution line, and what are the
purpose of determining the amount of amount maximum day demand and peak hour demand and also how
to calculate it’s Economic Diameter?
2. Write and explain the three methods distribution system and layout of distribution system, and when we
use that system i.e condition of use?
3. Write and explain the selection of pipe materials depends upon?
4. In water supply point of view explain in detail about all type valve and Joints or fitting of pipe?
5. A typical layout of pipes in dead end pattern is given in figure below. The rate of water supply is 100
lit/cap/day. The population in a residential of each block numbers 2,000peresons, and length of all
distribution pipe section are constant 300m and the minimum pressure head at any point in the distribution
system is 15m. Peak factors for the maximum day demand and the maximum hourly demand are 1.3 and 2
respectively. The elevation of the ends of the pipe sections are given in the table below. Assume f=0.04 and
ignore minor loss of the pipe. Design
A. Economical size, permissible velocity & head loss of each pipe and also suitable pressure for each
block
B. P𝑢𝑚𝑝 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 (𝑃𝑝), 𝑀𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 (Pm) & 𝐺𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑜𝑟 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 (Gp)? Take pump & motor
efficiency 60 % & 85 % respectively.
C. Write at least the four types of Joints or pipe fitting used for the entire system?
Node Source (1) TP (2) (3)-Pump A(SR) B C D E F G

7. Write in detail about Sources of Wastewater, characteristics of waste water; Types of sanitation system and
why we analyze/study wastewater?
8. What do mean DWF and WWF and also how to estimate this quantity?
9. How to calculate the size of sewer pipe when sewage runs full flow and half full flow?
10. Read and write in detail over all waste water treatment methods; its objective and Wastewater Quality
Standards?
11. Write in detailed about Sewage effluent disposal techniques favorable condition; zone of pollution and
write the overall formula to know about the dissolved oxygen balance?
12. Design a suitable septic tank for your block including proctor offices, assuming the houses have full plumbing, all
household wastes go to the septic tank and the nominal water supply is 100liters per person per day. Water is used
for anal cleaning and the ambient temperature is greater than 20°C for five of the year. Also design the suitable
effluent disposal with the maximum liquid depth of trench 2m required in the infiltration capacity of soil is 50l/m2/d
to dispose of the effluent from the septic tank. (Assume 80% of supply is waste).
13. A combined sewer of a circular section is to be laid to a particular area to serve an area having a population
of 5000 persons. The average daily water supplied from the water works to the town is at a rate of
200litter/c/day. Studies from similar towns show that almost 80% of the supplied water will appear as
sewage, and the estimated infiltration is 75 m3 per km of sewer per day. The total length of sewer is 8 km,
whereas the drainage area (A), rainfall intensity (I) and runoff coefficient (C) is 50hectare,120mm/hr and
0.45 respectively. The manning’s coefficient n = 0.013 for the pipe material and permissible slope is 1 in
500. Assume maximum sewage discharge to be 3 times the average discharge.
a) Compute (DWF) and (WWF)
b) Design the size of separate and combined sanitary sewer of the pipe when;
i. Pipes are running full and half full at a maximum discharge.
14. A family of six intends to construct a pit latrine to last 20 years. The family uses water for anal cleaning
and intends to use the toilet as a bathing area. The ground is mainly fine sand with a water table 2m below
the surface: Design simple pit latrine without ground water contamination.
15. The BOD5 of waste water is determined to be 200mg/l at 20oc. The k value is known to be 0.23per day.
What would be BOD8 and BOD3 when the test runs at 15oc and 25oc?
16. Design a sanitary sewer running half full depth at a maximum discharge, which will serve a town with a design
population of 100,000. Water is supplied to the town at a rate of 150liters per day per capita. Studies from similar
towns show that almost 80% of the supplied water will appear as sewage. The town waste is treated by secondary
effluent and wonted to dispose this waste by dilution methods. That means disposed in a surface stream the condition
measurements are made in the laboratory and in the field to determine the characteristics of waste water and stream
flow. The waste water are founded to have maximum flow rate & BOD5 of waste water is 30mg/l, a DO
concentration is 2mg/l in waste water and temperature of waste water is 25^Oc. The stream (upstream from the point

of discharge is founded to have a minimum flow rate of 0.4m3/s, BOD5 3mg/l DO=8mg/l, temperature 22^oc,
complete mixing of the waste water and stream is almost instantaneous and the velocity of mixer 0.2m/s from the
flow region and the re-aeration constant (K2) is to be 0.4 per day and reaction rat constant ( k1)=0.23per day .
Assume equilibrium concentration of fresh water 8.7mg/l at saturation level. Determine:
a) The characteristics of the mixture (i.e Qmix, BODmix, Domix, Temp.mix,Kmix..)
b) initial oxygen deficit (Do) at temp.mix
c) The critical deficit (Dc) and its location
d) The oxygen deficit at a point 20,50 and 100km from the point of discharge
