This document discusses water purification. It defines potable water and lists domestic, public, industrial, and agricultural water uses. Sources of water include rain, surface water, and ground water. Guidelines for drinking water quality cover acceptability, microbiological, chemical, and radiological aspects. Purification methods for large scale include storage, filtration using slow sand filters or rapid sand filters, and chlorination. Small scale purification involves boiling, chemical disinfection, and filtration. Proper well disinfection is also discussed.
Water pollution occurs when harmful substances are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies. There are three main types of water pollution: surface water, ground water, and salty water pollution. Water pollution has negative effects like making water unfit for drinking and causing diseases. Various methods can purify water, like filtration, sedimentation, and distillation. The main causes of water pollution are untreated industrial and domestic waste, and agricultural runoff. Preventing water pollution requires treating waste before discharge and following pollution control rules.
This document discusses water purification on both small and large scales. It begins by defining safe and contaminated water. It then discusses various water sources like rain, surface water, and groundwater. The large scale purification process involves storage, filtration using slow sand or rapid sand filters, and chlorination. Small scale purification can be done through boiling, or using chemicals like bleaching powder or chlorine tablets. Proper water treatment and sanitation are important for preventing waterborne diseases and ensuring public health.
This document discusses water purification methods for both large and small scale. For large scale, it describes treating raw water sources through storage, filtration, and disinfection using chlorination, ozonation, or UV irradiation. Slow sand filtration and chlorination are effective at removing bacteria, viruses, and parasites. For small scale, it recommends boiling, chemical disinfection, or ceramic filtration. Wells can be disinfected during outbreaks by bleaching. Bottled water may be purified through multiple barriers like UV, distillation, or ozonation.

Water pollution is an increasing problem that threatens human and environmental health. It occurs when harmful substances are added to water bodies in quantities that exceed acceptable levels. Major sources of water pollution include industrial waste, agricultural runoff containing fertilizers and pesticides, and untreated domestic sewage. This leads to issues like toxic algal blooms, dead zones, contamination of drinking water sources, and impacts on aquatic life. Stronger laws and enforcement, upgraded wastewater treatment, better management of agricultural chemicals, and increased public awareness are needed to reduce water pollution and protect this essential resource.
Melbourne Water supplies potable water to Melbourne through a treatment process and distribution system. It treats water from protected catchment areas with disinfection only, while water from open catchment areas requires additional filtration due to public access. Melbourne Water owns reservoirs that store treated water before gravity or pumping distributes it through pipes. As an alternative source, desalinated seawater undergoes reverse osmosis before mixing with reservoir water.
1. The document discusses the water treatment process at the Durgapur Municipal Corporation water treatment plant in Angadpur. It involves 7 stages: screening, prechlorination, aeration, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection.
2. Key steps include adding aluminum sulfate and polyelectrolyte to form flocs, sedimentation to remove flocs, sand filtration, and chlorination for disinfection. Additional steps are aeration, pH adjustment with lime, and post-chlorination before distribution.
3. The water treatment plant, pumping stations, and distribution network were installed in two phases to supply water to Durgapur town.
Water purification without electricity can be achieved through various physical and biological processes. Untreated water sources like rivers and reservoirs require sedimentation to allow dirt and debris to settle. The water then passes through a multi-layer filter of gravel, pebbles, sand and charcoal. Each layer removes different impurities. Charcoal filtration is effective at removing toxins and odors without chemicals. It produces healthy, safe drinking water in an affordable way suitable for off-grid areas.
The document provides information about domestic water treatment systems. It discusses the standard water treatment process, which includes coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection.

7. Water
intake
Place selected in the course of river or (canal) to draw water for purification
Must be protected & away from any source of pollution especially fecal
materials.
Coagulation-
sedimentation
Water is pumped from intake to sedimentation tanks & left for some hours so that greater part of suspended
matter settles down.
For better sedimentation in a shorter period of time, a coagulant (commonly alum) is added
Filtration
Mechanical sand filter made of layers of sand on top of gravel.
Alum & rest of impurities form a surface film, which is responsible for the filtration process.
Water gets filtered on passing through the surface film. Removes all bacteria, cysts
and suspended matter but virus can pass through the filter. Max. efficiency of filtration
for micro- organism removal is 95%.
Frequent washing of the filter is needed by passing a reverse current of water under high
velocity.
Disinfection
Necessary to destroy the remaining 5% pathogenic organisms that may be found in filtered water. Chlorine
is the gas commonly used in disinfection.
Chlorine is added to filtered water in a proper dose 0.6 ppm& left for 遜 an hour.
Residual chlorine 0.2 ppm is to safe guard against pollution during distribution of water to final
consumers.
Super chlorination of water occur in cases of water borne epidemic.
Distribution
Through a network of pipes, water is distributed to the different parts of the areas
to be supplied. Presence of residual chlorine in water is a safeguard against
contamination from breaking or leaking through pipes
11. Boiling

Small Scale purification: used in villages, small confined areas. It is
used for water supply at the individual levels in case of absence of
large-scale purification
13. 1- River water:
- A popular source where people go to the canal to fill utensils.
- They used for domestic purposes without purification and may be
kept in porous containers (e.g. zeer, kolla) for cooling purpose
not for purification.
- Water is unsafe and thus can expose consumers to infection.
14. 2-Shallow wells:
- Used by some houses for private water supply.
-Shallow underground water, which is located in the superficial
layers of the soil, is raised to the surface by a pump.
Advantages:
Bacteriologically safe if sanitary measures are taken.
Disadvantages:
- Exposed to pollution, from the surface & nearby sources
(latrines, cesspits & refuse heaps) with the risk of spreading
water-borne
infection.
- Potential sources of pollution must be eliminated with an area of
20
meters radius all around the well.
st
16. 3- Deep wells:
- Underground water in the deep layers is obtained by constructing a deep well at a
depth of more than 20 meters to reach the deep underground water layer.
- Pumped water is raised up to fill a high tank reservoir of suitable size.
- Water is distributed from the tank to a number of public taps located at different
spots of the village.
Advantages:
- Deep water is clear, but not tasty, it is hard (not forming foam with soap).
- Bacteriologically sterile but pollution is possible through cracks or leakage
through pipes.
Disadvantages:
In certain localities, deep underground water contains excess chemicals, from strata
of earth, which may cause:
*Dental fluorosis: Excess fluorine (>1.5 ppm) causes mottling of the enamel of teeth.
*Methemoglobinaemia: Excess nitrates (>20 ppm) lead to the formation of nitrites
which is absorbed, and affects Hb leading to a serious and fatal disease in infants.
20. Physical standards:
- Must be odorless, colorless, agreeable taste and clear.
- Presence of organic matter, algae, silt and mud can alter
water's physical characteristics (becomes turbid, changes
odor) but not necessarily cause harm.
21. Chemical standards:
- pH must be neutral or slightly alkaline.
- With a moderate degree of hardness. Hardness is
the presence of insoluble salts of calcium &
magnesium in water. It can cause GIT
disturbance, waste of soap and explosion of
boilers. It is removed by boiling, addition of
lime or precipitation. Permissible hardness is 20
degrees.
- Safety limits for some chemicals are determined
such as nitrate 1.0 ppm, fluoride 1.5 ppm, iron
0.3 ppm, arsenic & lead must be nil.
23. Bacteriological standards:
- It concentrates on evidence of faecal pollution.
- Water is inoculated on agar & other special media.
- Coliform organisms are used as indicators for presence of bacteria.
- A high coliform count of 100 ml is regarded as being suspicious
of fecal pollution.
- E. coli must be totally absent. No ova, no cysts or parasites.
25. Water pollution is any physical, biological &
chemical changes in water quality that adversely
affects living organisms (man, animal and fish)
or make water unsuitable for desired uses
26. Bacteria: enterica, cholera, dysentries
Viruses: hepatitis, poliomyelitis.
Parasites: Gardia, schistosomiasis. entamebahistolytica.
Biological
Acids, Salts, Mercury and Lead
Minamata disease caused by mercury intoxication.
Water soluble
inorganic chemicals
Pesticides & Oils
Organic chemicals
Organic wastes decomposed by bacteria which deplete
water from its oxygen thus causing death of fish &
aquatic plants.
Oxygen demanding
wastes
Insoluble particles that are suspended and thus
cloud water and reduce photosynthesis of aquatic
plants.
Sediment or
suspended matter
Cause birth defects, cancer, genetic damage.
Radioactive
isotopes
28. - Sudden or explosive onset.
- Large number of cases is reported in few days.
- All cases having common water supply.
- All ages, both sexes and different social groups are affected.
- More than one case may be simultaneously found in same family.
- May occur in any season.
- Cases of diarrhea & other GIT manifestations may appear
before epidemic wave due to associated infection with other
pathogenic
organisms of shorter IP.
- When water supply is controlled cases drop
suddenly but take time to
return to the pre-epidemic level due to occurrence of 2ry cases.
30. Control of water borne epidemic:
1. Control of the water source that caused the epidemic.
2. Increase the amount of chlorine added to the water & then neutralize
the excess.
