Max Mark allotted: 50Pts

Final Examination

Time allotted: 3:15

Target Group: 3rd Year Water Resource & Envtal Engineering

Attempt all questions clearly and Assume reasonably any missing

data
Neatness & stepwise procedures deserve value.
Write Your Name on Question paper and return with Answer
sheet. Name: ....
For the purpose of designing and implementing water supply project that can provide safe and
adequate water to a town, the following socio economic, and hydrogeological and other pertinent
data have been collected and given below:
Read and understand the given (Page 2 to 5) in-depth and attempt the following questions
accordingly:
Required: Design of the town Water Supply Scheme Components: That is:1. Forecast the Population of town using Geometric Increase Method (4Pts)
2. Calculate Total Average Daily Demand, Maximum Daily Demand and Peak Hour Demand

(10Pts)
3. Select the appropriate Source Option with justification. If your selection is Option-1, check the

adequacy of Ground Water Wells for the town Water supply System and if Option-2, determine
the capacity of storage reservoir by Analytical method. (Refer: Table 1 & 2 and Figure 1 & 2)
(6Pts)
4. Determine Size of the Service Reservoir (5Pts)
5. Determine Pump and Motor power

of Submercible Pump for Production Well-2 with the

following additional data (Refer: Table-1 and Figure1 & 2): (10Pts)

All amount of Safe yield should be Pumped to the Service Reservior

Minor losses = 10% of friction loss
Pump and motor Efficiency = 65% and 80% respectively
Hazen William coefficient, C= 130
6. Design the distribution network including Net head available at each node points

(Refer: Figure-3) (12Pts)

Hazen William equation for pipe flow with C= 130 is recommended for hydraulic analysis
5m head of water is required as terminal pressure at all end points
7. What are the Sanitation Structures to be designed and constructed in connection with Water

Supply System? (3Pts)

Population Data of the town:

Proposed Design Period=15 years

Project will be commissioned & started to give service in the year 2015

According to the most recent Population Census Report (CSA, 2013) population of town =
3,750

Geometric Increase Method is recommended as an appropriate growth method for the city
with an assumed uniform yearly growth rate of 2.5 %.

Pn= Po (1+ r)n

ii.

Pn = Population at required n number of years.

Po = Initial or base population.

r = Yearly growth rate in Percent

n = Number of years at which the population is to be forecasted

Water Demand Data:

Average Domestic per capita Demand = 30 l/c/d & assumed to be uniform throughout design
year

Non domestic Water Demand (Public, Industrial and Commercial consumptions) were
considered to be 15 % of Domestic consumption

Unaccounted losses for all loss in the water supply system is assumed to be 10% of domestic
consumption, constant throughout the design year

Peak factors for Maximum Day and Peak Hourly Demands are 1.5 and 2 respectively

Livestocks are assumed to use nearby rivers from the town

Fire demand shall be met by stopping supply for required time during emergency

Socio Economic and Climatic factors = 1

Water Source Data:

Various source investigation and assessment for both surface water and groundwater sources in the
vicinity of the project area were carried out and two options were proposed.
Option-1: Ground Water Wells: After investigation, the first Production Well (Well-1) is obtained to
be insufficient and hence another Production Well (Well-2) at distance of 1.2 km from Well-1
is recommended and drilled for the water Supply system of town to be used in conjunction.

Option-2: Surface Water: A river with the following monthly flow rate at a distance of 2 km from the
same Service reservior in option-1, near to Production Well-2(about 500m) is proposed as the
last option.
