    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY I (CENG 415)
    Overview:
     Water Supply Engineering is branch of
    civil engineering concerned with the
    development of sources of supply,
    transmission, distribution, and treatment
    of water.
    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY I (CENG 415)

    Objectives of Water Supply:

    The objectives of water supply are to:

    1. Supply water of adequate quantity


    2. Supply safe and wholesome water for consumers
    3. Make water easily available to consumers
    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY I (CENG 415)

    Components of Water Supply System:


    The major components of water supply
    systems are:
    • Sources of Supply
    • Collection System
    • Treatment System
    • Transmission System
    • Distribution System
    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY (CENG 415)
    Sources of Water:

    There are many types of water sources used for water


    supply, but the two many types are:
    1. Surface (river, streams, ponds, lakes, etc.)
    2. Groundwater (water below the ground in aquifers)

    Other types include rainwater, seawater, and


    wastewater.
    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY I (CENG 415)
    Water Quantity:

    The quantity of water required uses the following data:

    1. Water consumption rate (Per Capita Demand in litres


    per day per head)
    2. Population to be served.

    Quantity (l/d)= Per capita demand (l/cd) x Population (c)


    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY I (CENG 415)
    Factors Affecting Per Capita Demand:
    1. Size of the city: Per capita demand for big cities is generally large than that for smaller
    towns
    2. Presence of industries.
    3. Climatic conditions.
    4. Habits of people and their economic status.
    5. Quality of water: If water is aesthetically & medically safe, the consumption will increase
    as people will not resort to private wells, etc.
    6. Pressure in the distribution system.
    7. Efficiency of water works administration: Leaks in water mains and services; and
    unauthorized use of water can be kept to a minimum by active monitoring.
    8. Cost of water
    9. Policy of metering and charging method: Water tax is charged two different ways (on the
    basis of meter reading and on the basis of certain fixed monthly rate
    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY I (CENG 415)

    Water Characteristics:

    Water quality characteristics can be divided into four (4):

    1. Physical – deals with turbidity, color, taste, odor, temperature,


    etc.
    2. Chemical – deals with chemical contaminants such as arsenic,
    chloride, zinc, iron, etc.
    3. Biological – deals with organisms such as bacteria, protozoa,
    viruses, etc.
    4. Radiological – deals with radioactive substances (ex: uranium)
    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY I (CENG 415)

    Water Quality Guideline:

    1. Guidelines – information intended to advise people on how


    something should be done or what something should be.

    2. Standards – not written by governments, but by an


    organization such as the Bureau of Standards. They have no
    authority on their own but may be adopted (all or a part) into
    regulations making them legal requirements.

    3. Regulation – a rule or directive made and enforced by a


    governmental authority

    Conventional Water Treatment Process:

    • Pre-treatment

    • Chemical Mixing (Coagulation & Flocculation)

    • Sedimentation

    • Filtration

    • Disinfection

    Conventional Water Treatment Process:
    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY (CENG 415)
    Water Transport and Distribution:

    Water supply involves:

    1. Raw water extraction and transport

    2. Water treatment and storage

    3. Clear water transport and distribution


    WEEK 2: REVIEW OF WATER SUPPLY I (CENG 415)
    Pumps:

    Pumps add energy to the water to move it from one


    point to another. Pumps are used to:

    1. Maintain pressure in the system


    2. Fill high elevated reservoirs
    3. Supply from lower elevations to higher elevations
