Drinking Water Supply is one of the most important sectors for intervention. There are existing water supply systems in the towns proposed to be covered. The demands for the system improvements in these towns can be very large. Theproposals for improvement of the water supply will therefore have to be tailored to be within the limitations of the funds available for the sector in the town. Acomparative benefit/cost of different works should be considered and the mostbeneficial and cost effective proposals have to be prepared after interaction with the PHED and the local city level authorities. The following guidelines should beconsidered during taking up projects under this sector:

Specifically, this Report provides Garfield County with evidence that

provision has been Made for an adequate potable treatment meeting the

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ("CDPHE") drinking

water quality standards for the Project, as Part of the overall water supply,

and that an adequate potable water delivery system Can be designed,

constructed and made available. With respect to the raw water delivery to

the Project, the design of the raw water supply and distribution system

is Documented in the Raw Water Supply and Distribution Plan. The Water

Supply Plan demonstrates that the legal supply and source for the potable

and raw water systems is available .

. 2 Objective

The objective of public protected water supply system is to supply safe and

cleanwater in adequate quantity, conveniently and as economically as possible. Watersupplied should be free from pathogenic organisms, clear, palatable and free fromundesirable taste and odour, of reasonable temperature, neither corrosive nor scaleforming and free from minerals which could produce undesirable physiologicaleffects.

A. WATER SUPPLY SOURCE

Page 3: Project water t&d

3

In order to design a water distribution system, it is appropriate to first

consider the Likely sources. These potential sources include the use of

existing or development of alluvial wells and surface water diversions.

More specifically, if the potable water supply will be provided by the

RFWSD, alluvial wells located in the Aspen Glen and Coryell Ranch

subdivision and surface diversions from the Roaring Fork River using the

Robertson Ditch Rose Ranch Enlargement, Posy Pump and Pipeline (Iron

Bridge Subdivision), or the RBC Roaring Fork Diversion (River Edge

Colorado) water rightswould be utilized. However, if the Project is served by

a privately-operated and self-sufficient public system, the potable water

supply will come from surface diversions from the Roaring Fork River using

the RBC Roaring Fork Diversion (River Edge Colorado).

Water source for our project is Sepaged water from Gauge river collected to

Intake well Khutanpara Baikunthpur from there pump to Treatment plant for

filtaratoin of raw water after filtersation water send to high head water tank

and to water tank by Gravitaional distribution we supply the water to

consumers.

DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF WATER TESTING KIT

Environmental awareness plays a vital role in prevention and control of pollution in industrial as well as at community levels. Assessment of water quality in a particular water body to understand any impact of water pollution needs a laboratory facility, which is not possible to have it in everywhere. Keeping this fact in view, the Central Pollution Control Board has developed a Water Testing Kit (WTK) to assess the water quality of surface, ground and potable water bodies in field condition. The kit designed and developed by a team of scientists of the Board is intended for students, NGOs and public.

This Water Testing Kit (WTK) has been fabricated as a portable laboratory provided with the apparatus and reagents needed for the field testing to assess the quality of water under field conditions. The water testing field kit enables the user to assess the physical, chemical, bacteriological and biological quality of water in the field. The main objectives of this WTK are to create mass awareness among students, NGO's and the public and to provide low-cost Water Testing facility. The kit has been designed not only to test water samples but also to serve as a scientific, informative, thought-provoking and educative tool to students, NGO's and the public. It can be used by even person with little or no knowledge of analytical techniques by following the instruction mentioned in the manual. The kit will definitely provide the information whether pollutants are above or below the permissible limit based on quantitative as well as qualitative analysis.

6) DETERMINATION OF SULPHATE

1) DETERMINATION OF pH

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

1) Ph meter with electrode

2) Beakers

3) 100 ml standard flasks

Page 6: Project water t&d

4) Funnels

5) Tissue papers

6) Wash bottle

THEORY:

Fresh distilled water has a pH of 7. Acidic waters have a pH of 0to 7, whereas alkaline waters have a pH of 7 to 14. Ammonia and Lime solution have pH of about 12 where as many cool drinks, lime juice, battery, etc. have pH of less than 4. As pH is measured on a logarithmic scale, water having a pH of 6to 10 times more acidic than the natural water, water having a pH of 4 is 1000 times more acidic than water with pH 7 and a pH of 2 is 100000 times more acidic than a pH of 7. PH of a solution can be found easily by using pH strips (paper) or a pH meter gives very accurate values whereas pH strips gives approximate values. pH is determined by the measurement of electromotive force of a cell comprising an indicator electrode responsive to hydrogen ions (such as glass electrode) immersed in the test solution and a reference electrode is usually achieved by means of a liquid junction, which forms a part of the reference electrode. The ‘emf’ of this cell is immersed with pH meter. This is high impedance electrometer calibrated in terms of pH.

2) DETERMINATION OF TURBIDITY

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

1) Nephelometric turbidity meter,

2) Nessler’s tubes with stand,

3) Standard flasks,

4) Wash bottle.

PRINCIPLE:

Page 7: Project water t&d

7

The tungsten filament produces a converging light beam. It is then scattered by the

suspended particles present in the given sample of water. The scattered light is

sensed by a photo cell kept at 90 in light path and the amount of scattered light is a

direct measure of tubidity of the solution.

As table and regulated DC supply is used to excite the lamp. Similarly a high

gain amplifier is used to convert the photocell output into measurable signal.

THEORY:

Turbidity is a measure of the transparency of the water. Turbidity is the property

of water because of which it offers resistance to passage of light. It is caused by

suspended solids (such as silt and clay), living or dead algae and other

microorganisms. It depends on the type of soil over which water has run and the

velocity of run-off. As sand is a good filtering methods, ground waters are less

turbid. River/ canal waters are highly turbid (upto 300 NTU) during monsoon.

River water have negligible turbidity during summer, as river flow is mostly

contributed by ground water during summer. Turbidity is measured by “Turbidity

Rod” or “Jackson Turbidity Meter” (in JT Units) or by “Nephelometer” (in NT Units

). Insoluble particles of soil, organics, micro-organisms and other inorganic

material, impede the passage of light by scattering and absorbing rays. The

scattering of light is generally proportional to the turbidity. The turbidity is thus

measured from the amount of light scattered by the sample taking a reference

with standard turbidity suspension. Turbidity is expressed as the amount of

suspended matter in liquid in parts per million or milligrams per liter, determine

by the optical observations. The standard unit of turbidity is “that produced by

one part of finely dissolved silica in one million parts of distilled water” for

potable water allowable turbidity is between 5 to 10 mg/l.

3) DETERMINATION HARDNESS

APPARATUS REQUIRED: 1. Burette,

Page 8: Project water t&d

8

2. Pipette,

3. Conical flask,

4. Beakers,

5. Standardflask,

6. PVC bottle.

PRINCIPLE:

Hardness is generally caused by the calcium and magnesium ions present in water.

Polyvalent ions of some other metals like strontium, iron, aluminum, zinc and

manganese etc. Are also capable of precipitating the soap and thus contributing to

the hardness. However, the concentration of these ions is very low in natural

waters, therefore,hardness is generally measured as concentration of only calcium

and magnesium which are far higher in qualities over other hardness producing

ions.

4) DETERMINATION OF RESIDUAL CHLORINE

APPARATUS: 1. Conical flasks,

2. burette, pipette,

3. Standard flask.

PRINCIPLE: Chlorine is primarily added to the water for destroying the harmful micro organisms, presence of excess chlorine intensities the taste and odours of many other compound such as phenol, etc., It may also be harmful to many aquatic microorganisms in combination with ammonia.

Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent and liberates iodine from potassium iodide. The liberated iodine is equivalent t the amount of chlorine and can be titrated against sodium thiosulphate using starch as an indicat

5) DETERMINATION OF CHLORIDES

Page 9: Project water t&d

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

o Conical flasks,

o Burette

o Pipette,

o Standard flask,

o Funnel

o Wash bottle

PRINCIPLE:

Silver nitrate reacts with chloride to form very slightly soluble white precipitate of

AgCl2 . At the and point when all the chloride get precipitated, free silver ions

react with chromate to form silver chromate of reddish brown color

6) DETERMINATION OF SULPHATE

APPARATUS REQUIRED:

1) Silica crucible,

2) Desiccators,

3) Ash less filter paper,

4) Beaker.

Page 10: Project water t&d

10

PRINCIPLE:

Sulphate is precipitated as barium sulphate in the hydrochloric acid medium by addition of barium chloride solution. The reaction is carried out near the boiling temperature. The precipitation is filtered, washed to remove the chlorides, cried or ignited and weighed as BaSO4.

Many substances interfere in performing this test. Suspended matter, Silica, nitrate and sulphate lead to the positive errors where the results are on the higher side. Alkali metal sulphate causes the low results. Presence of other metals such as iron and chromium also yield low results due to the formation of metals sulphates.

9. DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The purpose of the distribution system is to convey wholesome water to the consumer at adequate residual pressure in sufficient quantity at convenient points. Water distribution usually accounts for 40 to 70% of the capital cost of the water supply project. As such proper design and layout of the system is of great importance. Metering is recommended for all cities. • In the continuous system of supply, water is made to consumer all the twenty-four hours a day, whereas in the intermittent system, the consumer gets supply only for certain fixed hours (a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening). The intermittent supplies system suffers from several disadvantages and does not promote hygiene and hence wherever possible, intermittent supply should be discouraged and is uneconomical. • To ensures equalization of supply of water throughout the area Zoning in

Page 11: Project water t&d

11

the distribution system is essential. The zoning depends upon (a) density of population (b) type of locality (c) topography and (d) facility of isolating for assessment of waste and leak detection. If there is an average elevation

• water could be conveyed by gravity or by pumping, or gravity-cumpumping. Any of these three modes could be selected based mainly on the elevation of the source of supply with respect of the town • The location of service reservoirs is important for regulation of pressures in the distribution system as well as for coping up with fluctuating demands. In a distribution system fed by a single reservoir, the ideal location is a central place in the distribution system, which effects maximum economy on pipe sizes, Where the system is fed by direct pumping as well as through reservoirs, the location of the reservoirs may be at the tail end of the System. If topography permits, ground level reservoirs may be located taking full advantage of differences in elevation. Even when the system is fed by a central reservoir, it may be desirable to have tail end reservoirs for the more distant districts. These tail end reservoirs may be fed by direct supply during lean hours or booster facilities may be provided.

Method of Distribution The main object of a Distribution system is to develop adequate water pressure at various points of the consumers taps. Depending upon the level of the source of water that of the city, Topography of area, and other local conditions and consideration, may be forced in to the Distribution system in the followin three ways.

Page 12: Project water t&d

12

1. By Gravitational System

2. By Pumping System

3. By combine Garavity and Pumping System.

1. By Gravitational System –

In this system the water from the high levelled source is disributed to the

consumers at lower levels, by the mere action of gravity without any pumping. For

proper functioning of this system, the difference of head available between the

source and the localities, must be sufficient enough, as to maintain adequate

pressure at the consumer door-steps, after allowing the frictional and other losses

in the pipe. This method is the most economical and reliable, since no pumping is

involved at any stage. However, it needs a lake or a reservior as a source of supply..

2. By Pumping System –

In the pumping system, the traded water is directly pumped in to the distribution mains

without storing it anywhere. For this reason, this system is also sume times called

pumping without storage system.

3. By combine Garavity and Pumping System.

Page 13: Project water t&d

13

In this system, the treated water is pumped at a constant rate and stored into an

elevated distribution reservoir, from where it is distributed to the consumers by

the mere action of gravity. Sometimes the entire a times it is pumped into the

distribution mains and reserviors, simultaneously. This meted thus, combines

pumping as well as gravity flow, and is some times called pumping with storage

system.

Here for Baikunthpur area we addopted Gravitational distribution

system…
