    Introduction to Environmental Engineering & Sciences

    Environmental Science

    Science can be differentiated into the social sciences and natural sciences .

    Natural sciences include core sciences chemistry, biology, and physics Numerous applied sciences such as geology, meteorology, forestry,

    and zoology. Environmental science is an integrative applied science that

    draws upon nearly all of the natural sciences to addressenvironmental quality and health issues.

    Environmental engineering uses environmental scienceprinciples, along with engineering concepts and techniques, to

    assess the impacts of social activities on the environment, of theenvironment on people, and to protect both human andenvironmental health.

    Environmental engineering requires a sound foundation in theenvironmental sciences.

    Sources of ,ater Supply

    0he primary source of all water supply isPrecipitatinwhich is thewater falling from the atmosphere to the surface of the earth in the form of rain,snow, hail etc. 5ainfall is the most important part of precipitation. 'n falling onthe ground surface, it is carried off in four different ways as illustrated in

  • 8/13/2019 Envir. Engin. II New (Whole Lectures)

    30/296

    transpiration and the balance goes back into the sea by surface run=off throughchannels and by percolation into the ground and then flowing throughunderground channels. !n outstanding property of the hydrological cycle is thatthe source is ine:haustible as it is available every year again and again in varyingquantities.

    Rainfall and Runoff(ater from rainfall when used as a source of water supply isrequired to be collected and stored in underground reservoirs. 0he collection maybe either from the surface of the ground or from the roofs of houses. (hencollected from the surface of the ground as may be done in water scarcity areas inplains, catchments area should specially constructed to serve the purpose. 0hereservoir which is open, trapezoidal shaped has sides and bottom provided withimpervious lining to minimize losses or infiltration of subsoil water. 0he entirearea should be fenced to prevent the encroachment of both humans and animalswhich may cause pollution of the watershed.

    Rainfall !easurement0he amount of rain falling during a given period is measured on the

    basis of the depth of water which would accumulate on a level surface if it allremained as it fell and none flowed, soaked, away or lost by evaporation.5ainfall is measured in inches or mm.) of depth in a standard rain gauge.Symonss rain gauge is the most commonly used in 'ndia. 0he rain gauge is fi:edin a masonry block -? cm cube with the top of the gauge pro>ecting 6B. cm abovethe ground level. 0he rainfall is admitted through a funnel into a glass bottlecontained in the body of the gauge. 0he contents of bottle are measured by meansof graduated cylinders reading up to ? mm.

    :ariation in Rain +all0he variations in rainfall may be geographical, monthly or annual.

    0he geographical variations are due to direction of prevailing winds and locationof mountain ranges. 0hey are not of much consequence in water supply problemas compared to the monthly and annual variations. 0he rainfall during summermonths is partly used up by vegetation. 0he remaining rainfall along with snowmelt is available for storage in reservoirs. Some rainfall during winter though insmall quantity may also be available for storage. 't is necessary to have rainfalldata spread over longer periods in order to know the amount of rainfall in a JdryyearJ and for a series of successive dry years in order that sufficient storage maybe provided to take care of deficiency in the supply of water from rainfall and toreplenish the ground water storage.0he actual quantities of rainfall from month to month and from year to year aresystematically observed and the record is usually kept with the *eteorological"epartment. Graphs are then plotted to show the monthly variations in differentyears and the annual variations in different decades.

    5un=off is the portion of rainfall which flows over the groundsurface to ultimately >oin drainage channels or streams. 't is measured, therefore,as a stream flow in the following unitsH

    1ubic meter per second 'ectare#meter

    5un=off is measured by the following methodsH 5ainfall=runoff records, Empirical formulae Gauging

    RainfallBRunoff Record0he rainfall record for a number of years is first used to determine

    the average depth of rainfall over catchments. 0he value when multiplied with asuitable coefficient gives the amount of runoff. 0his is mathematically e:pressedby the relationshipH5 F475 F run=off in cm7 F precipitation in cm4 F run=off coefficient

    't is observed that relationship between rainfall and the resulting runoff is quitecomple: and is influenced by a host of factors related to the catchments andclimate. 0he rainfall=runoff relationship is therefore nonlinear and even non=deterministic because of the paucity of available data. 0his means strictlyspeaking, cannot be regarded as a constant coefficient 2owever, the formulacould be used as an appro:imate evaluation of the runoff for a catchmentsprovided suitable values of are assumed. 'n practice is found to have a wide

    range from as low as B.B to as high as B.K.

    Empirical +ormulae0hese essentially involve relationship between rainfall and runoff

    with the introduction of third or fourth parameters to account for climatic orcatchments characteristics, suitable for particular regions. %ased on this we havethe following important empirical formulae.

    !ass 1iagram0he run=off records are the most important data required for

    determining the quantity of water which will flow from a given drainage basinduring different periods of time. 0he longer the duration of the records, the moreaccurate will be the estimate of the quantity and variations of the run=off. 0herun=off record of the stream for different months of the years is often made use ofin constructing the '*dr grap' showing a graphical relationship between them.'n practice, an integrated hydro graph or mass diagram is found to be of greateruse, as it shows the accumulated flow from month to month and year to year inunits of second=meter or hectare=meter.

    Rivers

  • 8/13/2019 Envir. Engin. II New (Whole Lectures)

    36/296

    0he water received from precipitation i.e. rain or melted snow is the surfacewater which flows in the form of rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. 'n 'ndia, manycities like "elhi, 1alcutta and !hmedabad derive their water supply from rivers.0he principal advantage of river as a source of water supply is the large quantityof water available for supply throughout the year. 2owever, since water has to

    travel a long distance from the source located in mountains where it is fairly pureto the towns in plains, its quality deteriorates as river more or less serves as anatural drain for all discharges from the region. 0hough river water may be softerthan ground water, it contains large amount of organic matter.%esides, it picks up lot of suspended matter, clay, silt etc and becomes muddy inappearance. Some of the tributaries of 'ndus 5iver are known to contain harmfuldissolved salts like mica or magnesium sulfate in e:cess quantities which lead todiarrheic disorders in human beings. %eing easily accessible, rivers are freelyused for washing, bathing, etc. 'n 'ndia, it is usual for dead bodies to be burnt onthe banks of rivers. %esides, places of pilgrimage are normally situated on thebanks of rivers and pilgrims bath at a time causing pollution of water as a sourceof water supply. 7ollution may also be caused by discharges of trade effluentsfrom industries. 't is, therefore, necessary that river water should be thoroughlytreated and protected before it can be made as a source of water supply for towns.

    Impounding Reservoir!n impounding reservoir may be defined as an artificial lake

    created by the construction of a dam across a valley containing a water course.0he ob>ect to be achieved is to impound or store a portion of the stream=flow sothat it may be used for water supply. 0he reservoir essentially consists of threepartsH

    a dam to hold back water, a spillway through which e:cess stream=flow may discharge, and a gate chamber containing the necessary valves for regulating the flew of

    water from the reservoir.

    1esign +actorsSince storage of reservoir is the essential principle on which an

    impounding reservoir is based, the general factors to be considered in its designare

    0he run=off or the quantity of water flowing from the drainage area forsuccessive intervals of time. 0his, as we have seen, would be determinedfrom the long=term records of the rainfall and run=off for the catchmentsarea considered

    0he total demand of water for all purposes including the consumptionrequirements, loss of water due to evaporation from the surface ofreservoir, leakage, and percolation losses and the necessary withdrawalsto satisfy the demands of the riparian owners downstream for likeintervals of time.

    Location of Impounding Reservoirs

  • 8/13/2019 Envir. Engin. II New (Whole Lectures)

    37/296

    1onsiderations affecting the location of impounding reservoirs are H E:istence of suitable dam site. 0he shortest dam to impound the requisite

    volume of storage is the best. 0his would be possible if the river flowsthrough a narrow gorge and the valley rapidly widens upstream from thesite.

    0he quantity of water available. 't should be sufficient to meet all thedemands throughout the year. 0his would depend on the rainfall, run=offand the catchments area. 0he catchments area should be such as to drainoff waters from all points in the catchments.

    0he advantages are relatively few >oints and the system is easy to build anddesign. 0he disadvantages are that sediments may accumulate at dead ends of the

    Groundwater occupies pore spaces below the surface. Surface water is found inlakes and streams.

    0he water table is simply the top of the saturated zone in which water fills porespaces and cracks in rocks or sediments.Soil moisture above the water table is not considered part of ground=water.Groundwater is derived from downward percolation of rainfall through the soiland in some areas from seepage of surface water.! porous body of material containing groundwater is called an*0UI+ER='f the water table is free to rise with additional water, the aquifer is said to beUNC9N+INE1 if there is an impermeable layer overlying the aquifer, it is

    described as C9N+INE1Such impermeable layers are called *0UICLU1E and they are particularlyimportant in segregating relatively clean groundwater from brackish orcontaminated groundwater.Surface water and groundwater flows from high to low elevations.Surface waterflows according to the shape of the land, following channels to the sea.%ut groundwater flows according to the slope of the water table and thepermeability of the materials through which it moves.#sually, the shape of the water table appro:imately parallels the shape of theland, so that groundwater flows from uplands toward lowlands, but this is notalways the case.

    'n mid=latitude climates, low=flow periods usually occur in the summerbecause plants are using more water at this time.

    %ecause of this temporal variability, the amount of water we can count onwithdrawing from a river is much less than the total amount that flows init over the year.

    'n addition, precipitation variations from one year to the ne:t furtherreduce the amount of water we can depend on from rivers.

    0he average annual peak discharge of the *issouri 5iver shows considerablevariation, even though seasonal variation has been eliminated from this graph.

    ,ater Supplies and Storage 0he natural supply of water in the world is highly variable, with some

    countries like %razil/ having very large renewable supplies of water percapita and others like 1hina/ having to divide a modest amount of wateramong a large number of people.

    %ut natural supply alone does not ensure water availability.

    ,ater Supply Systems

    ! typical water=supply system includes both natural and engineered components.'ts overall capacity is limited by the component with the lowest capacity.

    'n virtually all cases, the collection system is naturalH it is the drainagebasin of a river, a groundwater aquifer, or some combination of the two.

    Storage is necessary to smooth out the natural variations in wateravailability and to save surplus water from high=rainfall seasons for dryseasons or periods of high demand.

    Surface=water storage is accomplished by constructing dams on rivers andimpounding water in artificial lakes behind the dams.

    0ransportation and distribution systems can be of many types, dependingmostly on the distance between collection site and use area and the nature

    of final use. 'n many cases, transportation distances are so short that the entire system

    is essentially >ust a distribution system. 0hese facilities include canals, pipelines, and natural river channels, or any

    combination of these. 0hus, although water supply is constrained by natural factors, water

    development in the form of engineering works also affects wateravailability.

    8ne indication of the e:tent of water use can be gained by comparingwithdrawals to natural runoff.

    Terms 1escri)e ,ater Use ,ithdra/al is the removal of water from a surface or groundwater

    source for a variety of purposes such as municipal, industrial, or irrigationuse.

    Consumptive use is the use of that water in such a way that it is not

    returned to the stream or aquiferP instead, it is returned to the atmosphereby evapotranspiration. InBstreamuses do not require removal of the water from a river or lakeP

    these include navigation, wildlife habitat, waste disposal, andhydroelectric power generation.

    (ithdrawals can e:ceed stream flow because not all of the waterwithdrawn is consumedP some is returned to the stream. Nonetheless,these withdraws place a heavy demand on water resources.

    'n densely populated areas of the country, the most important in=streamuse is maintenance of water quality. Sufficient flow must be available todilute and transport sewage effluents and other pollutants, as well as toprovide habitat for aquatic life.

    Navigation is another important in=stream use that competes with otherin= and off=stream uses for the water in our rivers

    "epletion of stream flows caused by consumptive off=stream use,particularly irrigation, is a ma>or problem in semiarid and arid portions ofthe #nited States.

    (round/ater Groundwater is a more important storage of water for human use. 0he total volume of water stored in relatively accessible groundwater

    aquifers is estimated at about ABBB km6, or roughly one=fourth of globalannual runoff.

    *uch more=perhaps as much as + million km6e:ists in deeper aquifers,though most of this amount is not economically accessible.

    *ost small=scale and domestic water=supply systems use groundwater,whereas large industrial and commercial users depend mainly on surfacewater.

    0ypically, groundwater storages are replenished relatively slowly, takingyears to centuries or more to replace the total volume of a given aquifer.

    !s a result, it is possible to withdraw water much faster than it is replaced,a practice known as ground/ater mining.

    'n a few countries in the *iddle East, total withdrawals of water e:ceedthe renewable supply, indicating significant overdraft of groundwater at

    the national level. 8ne impact of groundwater overdraft is declining well levels, often

    requiring that wells be deepened for withdrawals to continue. 'n coastal areas, usually a boundary e:ists between fresh water and salt

    water in the ground. Salt water is denser and thus is found underneath thefresh water.

  • 8/13/2019 Envir. Engin. II New (Whole Lectures)

    ! decline in the elevation of the freshwater table causes salt/aterintrusion, an inland movement of the salt$fresh boundary, whichcontaminates wells and makes them unusable for drinking water.

    The 1emand for ,ater

    (ater demands fluctuate from year to year, depending on weatherpatterns. 'n wet or cool years, demand is usually lower, whereas in dryyears demand is greater.

    5egional #S demand is greatest in the western states, especially 'daho,*ontana, and (yoming. 0here states have the largest per capitawithdrawals, with water used for irrigating.

    0he smallest withdrawals are in the Northeast, where most of this water isused for industrial purposes and steam electrical generation.

    +resh/ater ,ithdra/als over Time

    1onsumptive use continues to be a small proportion of total withdrawals in the#.S.

    9ffBStream Uses (ithdrawal and consumptive uses of water are often defined by specific

    types of use. 0his includes public supply, rural supply domestic and livestock/,

    7ublic and rural supplies include both domestic and commercial uses ofwater, including those familiar to us in our everyday lives at home or atwork=washing, cooking, drinking, lawn watering, sanitation, and the like.

    !gricultural uses, principally irrigation, consume more fresh water thanany other use. (orldwide, agriculture uses about D?C of total freshwater

    withdrawals. 0his portion tends to be higher in developing than inindustrialized countries. 'n the #S, about +@C of water withdrawals are for irrigation. 0o conserve

    more of the water, irrigation system must become more efficient. Irrigation efficiency is defined as the volume of applied water in the

    root zone that is used by the crop. 't is e:pressed as a percentage of thevolume of water diverted from surface sources or pumped fromgroundwater supplies.

    "rip irrigation is one of the most efficient application methods, whileflood, furrow, and sprinklers average between -B=KBC efficiencies.

    'ndustry takes the second=largest share of the worlds water withdrawals,about @BC.

    'ndustrial uses include a wide range of activities, including water used forwashing products in the manufacturing process, removing wastematerials, and cooling. 0he greatest withdrawals of water in the industrialsector are for cooling thermal electric power plants.

    'ndustrial users are turning away from once=through systems towardwater=recycling systems.

    "omestic uses take the least water, generally less than ?BC, e:cept inurbanized regions with relatively less industry and irrigation, such asSouth !merica and 8ceania.

    !mong the important domestic uses are cooking, laundry, bathing, toiletflushing, and, in North !merica, lawn irrigation. "omestic water use is notheavily consumptiveonly about KC in the #S, and much of this is inirrigating lawns.

    InBStream Uses 'n addition to these off=stream uses, many important water uses take place

    in rivers or lakes, without withdrawing water from them. (hile these uses do not result in any removal of water from the

    environment, they do require considerable amounts of water, and thusthey compete with off=stream uses.

    (ithin a river basin, water taken in one area may not be available inanother.

    ,aste 1ilution 0he most important in=stream use of water is for waste dilution. ;irtually all rivers in populated areas are used to remove wastes. 0he more water present and flowing in a river, the lower the

    concentration of pollutants will be, and thus the better water qualitywill be.

    Navigation 0he ma>or rivers of the world, especially in industrialized countries,

    carry large amounts of freight. 'n #S, for e:ample, inland waterways carry about the same amount

    of freight as is delivered to or from ocean ports.

    -ydroelectric "o/er 2ydroelectric power is generated by storing water behind a damand releasing it through turbines when electricity is needed.2ydroelectricity supplies about ??C of #S electric production, orC of total energy production.

    %ecause electricity cannot be stored in large quantities, timing ofhydro=electric power production is relatively infle:ible.

    'n addition, the large dams best suited to generating electricityinundate large areas and alter river habitats, causing additionaleconomic and ecological dislocations.
