DOMESTIC AND INDUSTRIAL USE OF
WATER AND DISPOSAL
( URBAN AND RURAL )
Objective :
Water is precious to man and therefore World Health Organization
(WHO) refers to ‘control of water supplies to ensure that they are
pure and wholesome’ as one of the primary objectives of
environmental sanitation. Water may be polluted by physical,
chemical and bacterial agents. Therefore, protected water supply is
a sine quo non of public health of a community. The objective of a
public protected water supply system is to supply safe and clean
water in adequate quantity, conveniently and as economically as
possible.
d) Climatic Conditions
e) Metering
Quality Standards :
The objective of water works management is to ensure that the
water supplied is free from pathogenic organisms clear,
palatable and free from undesirable taste and odour of
reasonable temperature, neither corrosive nor scale forming and
free from minerals which could produce undesirable
physiological effects. The establishment of minimum standards
of quality for public water supply is of fundamental importance
in achieving this objective. Standards of quality from the
yardstick within which the quality control of any public water
supply has to be assessed.
The evolution of standards for the quality control of public water
supplies has to take into account the limitations imposed by
local factors in the several regions of the country.
The following standards are prescribed.
a) Physical & Chemical quality of drinking water.
b) Bacteriological quality of drinking water.
c) Virological quality of drinking water .
SOURCE OF WATER SUPPLY
The origin of all sources of water is RAINFALL.
i ) Surface Waters :
Lakes, Ponds, Impounding Reservoirs, Rivers, Natural Water Courses,
Irrigation Canals, Sea Water & Waste Water Reclamation.
Sewage or other waste waters of the community may be utilized for non
domestic purposes such as water for cooling , flushing lawns , parks etc, fire
fighting and for certain industrial purposes , after giving the necessary
treatment to suit the nature of use .
ii) Ground Water :
a ) General : the zone of Rain water percolating into the ground and
reaching permeable layers ( AQUIFERS ) in saturation constitute ground
water source .
b ) Spring : The discharge of a spring depends on the nature and size of
catchments, recharge and leakage through the subsurface .

AERATION :
a. To remove objectionable tastes and odours.
b. For expulsion of carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide.
c. To precipitate iron and manganese present in ferrous and
manganeous state
d. For increasing the dissolved oxygen content of water .
PRE – CHLORINATION :
a. To prevent algal growth in raw water.
b. For destruction of some taste odour producing compounds.
c. For oxidation of iron , manganese and hydrogen sulphide.
d. For aid coagulation.
PLAIN SEDIMENTATION :
a. To separate suspended impurities from water by gravitation.
b. Detension time of one to several days for sedimentation
without subsequent filtration.
c. 3 to 4 hours for sedimentation in conjunction with filters.
CHEMICAL DOSING :
a. For coagulation, flocculation.
b. Disinfection and softening.
c. Algal and corrosion control.
d. For fluoridisation.
FLASH MIXING :
a. To disperse the coagulant evenly in the water.
COAGULATION AND FLOCCULATION :
The addition of a coagulant like alum promotes the formation of micro flocs
which are the nuclei for the absorption of turbidity and colour causing
particles . During flocculation the micro floc particles formed during rapid
mixing are brought together to aggregate into larger rapidly settleable flocs
by controlled agitation of water.

FILTRATION :
a. To separate the suspended and colloidal impurities in the
water.
b. To produce sparkling and aesthetically attractive water free
from disease producing organisms.
