1.3 INTRODUCTION
1.3.1 GENERAL:
India is basically an agricultural country. Majority of the people live in village and have agriculture
as their profession. The resources of our country mainly depend on the agricultural output.
Water is evidently the most vital element in the plant life. Water is normally available to the plants
by rain. However the total rain fall in a particular area may be insufficient are ill termed but in order to get
minimum yield it is very essential to supply optimum quantity of water in the correct time and this can be
achieved by systematic development of an irrigation system that by collecting water during the period of
excess rain fall and distributing the stored water when required to irrigation by distribution system forms the
back bone of agriculture and agriculture is the back bone of our country irrigation systems should be
properly organized and development.
Irrigation is the process of artificially supplying water to soil for raising crops it aims to planning and
designing an effect low cost economical irrigation system to fit natural condition.
Irrigation engineering includes the study and design of works in connection with river control
drainage of water logged area at generation of hydroelectric power.
Irrigation is an engineering of controlling and harnessing the various natural resources of water with the
constructions of dams reservoirs canals headwork and finally distribution of water to the agricultural field.
2. The reservoir site should be such that the quantity of leakage through that is minimum.
3. Suitable dam site should exist it should founded on sound watertight rock base and the percolation
below the dam should minimum.
4. The reservoir basin should have a narrow opening in the valley so that the length of the dam is less.
5. The topography of the reservoir site should that the submerging land must be minimum.
6. The reservoir should be such that it avoids or excludes water from those distributaries, which carry a
high percentage of silts in water.
7. The reservoir site should store maximum quantity of water with minimum submergence of land area
that the depth of water storage should be maximum.
8. The soil or rock mass at the reservoir site should not contain any objectionable minerals and salts.
9. The cost of the reservoirs including road, levelling, relocation etc. must be as less as possible.
10. The site should have a natural drain on downstream to take off the surplus water.
The site for the new tank project is selected at MELUKOTE village by taking into account all the above
consideration.
ascertain the centre line alignment of the main bund and also to locate the feasible site for waste
weir ,tank sluice etc .It is necessary to inspect the project are prior to detailed survey because it is
very useful in selecting the proper location.
The plan and design of various works related to the new tank project. On arriving at the site,
the whole area was examined carefully in order to decide upon the best possible arrangement of
survey work and for these purpose the minor instruments such as hand level through compass etc.,
were used to achieve good results a key plan of the area to be surveyed indicating the various
information’s relating to the site was prepared
c. Geological Investigation: For any major civil engineering project geological investigation is most
essential with details. Information like water tightness of reservoir basin suitability of foundation for
dam. Geological structural features such as folds, faults, fissures etc. From the rock basin type and
depth of over burden, location of permeable or soluble rocks if any ground water conditions in the
region and location of quarry site for materials required for the dam are available in this
investigation.
d. Engineering Survey: The area of the dam site is surveyed and details and contains plans are
prepared from the plans. These physical characteristics are prepared such as area from elevation
curves storage capacity from elevated curve map of the area to indicate the land property to be
submerged and suitable site selection for the dam.
The following aspects were considered while surveying the area for selecting the proper sites for the various
works related to the project:
1. The length and height of dam should be less as possible.
2. The presence of natural diversion channel to carry the surplus water from the main road.
3. The length and height of waste weir should be as less as possible to achieve economy in its
constructions.
4. The presence of hard formation soil for construction of main bund as well as waste weir and tank
sluice.
5. Presence of sufficient irrigable land at downstream, and the nature of crops to grown in that area
6. Existence of good transportation facility for men and materials to the construction site.
7. The cost of protective works should be minimum.
8. The labour and material used for construction should be easily available and economical.
f. Downstream Drainage: Filter zones are invariably provided in all earthen dams. They are
constructed of materials appreciably more previous than the embankment soil. It helps in reducing
the pore water pressure in the D/S portion of the dam and also checks the piping.
1.6 ESTABLISHMENT OF BENCHMARK AT SITE:
Since it is a very long distance to carry a fly level from a bench mark at Pandupura railway station to
the site, the top of Culvert is taken as a arbitrary B.M of RL-966.965 was established using GPS instrument
(Garman GPS72H).The fly level is carried from the arbitrary benchmark to top of the rock boulders
available at both right and left bank of proposed temporary B.M is used to carry out leveling operations for
all the connected survey work for project.
PROCEDURE:
The following operations are to be carried out in the survey works:
• Leveling is started from bench mark established near the bund and point on the centerline of the
bund is fixed by using theodolite at convenient elevation, then fore bearing of centerline of bund is
then observed with a prismatic compass and recorded.
• Starting from the point on the bund, pegs are driven at every 10m intervals on the (opposite bank)
centerline bund until the same elevation is reached on the opposite bank and staff readings are taken
at every peg point on the C.L of bund.
• Staff readings are also taken along centerline of the bund at every 30m. Levels on the c/s are taken at
intervals of 2m to a distance of 20m on the U/S and D/S.
• The staff reading chainages, traverse measurements for sections is methodically entered in the
leveling book.

POINTS TO BE KEPT IN THE VIEW WHILE SELECTING A SITE FOR WASTE WEIR:
VIT, BENGALURU DEPT. OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. 10
EXTENSIVE SURVEY PROJECT BATCH-5
A weir should be aligned at right angles to the direction of the river flow, which ensures lesser length
of the weir and better discharge capacity.
The site must be ensuring a good foundation.
It should be as natural diversion channel top carry the surplus water.
The length and height of the body wall should be minimum.
The cost of protective works should be minimum.
INSTRUMENTS REQUIRED:
1. Dumpy level with tripod
2. Levelling staff
3. Chain and tape
4. Cross staff with stand
5. Ranging rods
6. Wooden pegs
7. Arrows
PROCEDURE:
Block levels are taken at the waste weir at an interval of 5m for a length of 40m.
Fix the direction of centre line of waste weir with the reference of centrline of bund.
Construct a block level at 5 square sizes along the centerline of waste weir for a length of 40m on
U/S side and 30m on D/S side up to a length of 40m.
Levelling work is started from the established of temporary BM and staff readings are taken at
established points of blocks.
Staff readings are entered in the field book and reduced levels are calculated.
Assuming suitable scale blocks are drawn on the sheet and contours at different level with contour
interval are drawn.
1.8.3 SLUICE:
A sluice is provided for carrying the water stored below FTL up to DSL the water discharged from the
sluice is carried out through canal further.
\
1.8.3.1 TYPES OF SLUICE:
Tower head with-pipe sluice /arched sluice /slab barrel
PROCEDURE:
Centre line of the tank sluice is established at right angles to the centerline of the main bund at the
canal take off point on the bund for a distance of 30m on U/S and D/S sides.
For a distance of 40m at 5m intervals on the centre line of the bund 5m squares is established on
either side of centre line.
Staff readings are taken on each point of established square and the RL of each point is calculated.
Canal is distribution system, which water flows from the sluice to the irrigation land. This phase includes
the design and construction of canal system, regulators, canal drops etc and also cross drainage works where
ever necessary canals are generally trapezoidal in the shape to carry water to the irrigation field and as far as
possible canal should be in cutting for economy.
1.8.6 CLASSIFICATION OF CANALS:
Water Shed Canal: A water shed canal can be considered to have an ideal alignment. In this case
the alignment runs along the ridge line so that flow occurs by gravity on both sides of canal. In
addition such as alignment does not intercept natural drain so that expensive cross drainage works
are eliminated?
Contour Canal: Watershed canal is not practical in hill area where the ridge line is situated at very
high level. In such a situation contour canal is usually provided. In this case alignment runs approx
parallel to contours to given area it is common that canal alignment crosses natural drain. Therefore
cross drainage works cannot be avoided.
Side Slope Canal: A side canal may be defined as one whose alignment runs almost perpendicular
to the contours of the given area and therefore it is very rightly known as side slope canal. In this
case alignment runs parallel to natural drain so that problem of cross drainage works does not rise.
Less rainfall:
When the total rainfall is less than that needed for the crop, artificial supply of water is necessary. In such a
case, irrigation system should be developed at the place where more water is available and then, the means
to convey water to the area where there is deficiency.
Non-uniform rainfall:
The rainfall in a particular area may not be uniform throughout the crop period. During the early
periods of the crop rains may be there, but no water may be available at the end, with the result, that
either, the yield may be less or the crop may wither. But the accumulated or stored water during the
excess rainfall period may be supplied to the crop during the period when there may be no rainfall,
but there is a need for watering.
Commercial crop with additional water:
The rainfall in a particular area may be just sufficient to raise the usual crops, but more water may be
necessary for raising commercial or cash crops, in addition to increasing the annual output by adopting
multiple cropping patterns distributed throughout the year.
Controlled water supply:
By constructing a proper distribution system, the yield of crop may be increased. Application of water to the
soil by modern methods of irrigation increases the efficiency of growth of crops.
For example, if 3 cumecs of water supply is required for a crop sown in an area of 5100 hectares, the duty of
irrigation water will be 5100/3 = 1700 hectares/cumec, and the discharge of 3 cumecs will be required
throughout the base period.
Delta:
Delta is the total depth of water required by a crop during the entire period from the day of sowing to
harvesting.
For example, if a crop requires about 12 watering at an interval of 10 days and a water depth of 10 cm in
every watering then the delta for that crop will be 12x10 = 120 cm = 1.2 m. If the area under that crop is A
hectares, the total quantity will be 1.2 x A = 1.2A hectare-meters in a period of 120 days.
Crop period:
Crop period is the time, in days, that a crop takes from the instant of its sowing to its harvesting
Base period:
Base period for a crop refers to the whole period of cultivation from the time of first watering for sowing the
crop, to the last watering before harvesting.
The duty of water is reckoned in the following four ways:
1. By the number of hectares that 1 cumec of water can irrigate during the base period. i.e., 1700 hectares
per cumecs.
3. By number of hectares that can be irrigated by a million cubic meter of stored water. This system is also
used for tank irrigation.
4. By the number of hectare meters expended per hectare irrigated. This is also used in tank irrigation.
Where,
Δ - Delta of the crop in m
B– Base period of the crop in days
D – Duty of the water in hectare/cumec
Consumptive use:
Consumptive use of water by a crop is the depth of water consumed by evaporation & transpiration during
the crop growth, including water consumed by accompanying weed growth
.
5. Cross staff
6. Arrows and pegs
7. Prismatic compass with stand
PROCEDURE:
Starting from BM (i.e. DSL+ 0.75) level is carried out until the required elevation of the canal is
obtained for a distance of 30m.
According to fall staff readings are calculated and required staff reading is searched along the 15m
from the previously established point.
At each established point a perpendicular line to that point for a distance of 1.5m on either side is
establishment and the points are marked at an interval of 0.5m on the established.
Bearings are taken on the gradient lines established simultaneously.
Staff readings are taken at each established point and RL of each is calculated
From obtained bearings the alignment of canal has been plotted in drawing sheet to a suitable scale.
DESIGN A TANK SURPLUS WEIR FOR A MAJOR TANK CONNECTED WITH TANK IN
SERIES:
1) Field data:
The ground level below the proposed surplus slopes off till it reaches +10.00m in about 6m distance.
2) Construction details:
3) Other details:
Making a provision to store water up to MWL proper abutment, wingwalls and return are to be designed.
Assume on hydraulic gradient of 4:1 with 1m c/c covers and Rye’s co-efficient=9.
VIT, BENGALURU DEPT. OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. 19
EXTENSIVE SURVEY PROJECT BATCH-5
DESIGN:
Q=CM2/3-cm2/3
Therefore,
Q=9*25.892/3-1.5*20.712/3
=78.77-11.32
=67.45km3
2) Surplus weir:
a) Length:
Q=2/3*Cd*SQRT (2g)*L*H3/2
67.54=2/3*(0.6)*sqrt(2*9.81)*L*(0.75)3/2
L=67.45*3/(2*0.6*sqrt(2*9.81)*0.753/2)
L=202.35/3.45=58.61m=59m
The dam stones are fixed at 1m clear interval at FTL and the number of opening will be 59.
Size of the dam stones 15cm*15cm and the protecting length above crest will be 75cm.
Therefore, the overall length of surplus weir between the abutments is 59+(58*0.15)=67.7m
Taking foundation about 0.5m deeper into hard soil the foundation level can be fixed at 9.00. The
foundation may be usually 0.60m thick.
=2.40m
a=0.55(sqrt(H)+sqrt(h))
Where,
H=height of weir=2.40m
Therefore,
a=0.55(sqrt(2.4)+sqrt(0.75))
=1.3m
1/12[{(s+1.5)*H+2.5*h}b2+a(SH-Hh)b-1/2a2(H+3h)]=[(H+h)3/6]
Where,
1/12[{(2.25+1.5)*2.40+2.5(0.75)}*b2+1.3(2.25*2.4-2.4-0.7)b-1/2(1.3)2(2.4+3*0.75)]=[(2.40+0.75)3/6]
Therefore,b=2.2m =2.3m
a) Abutment:
Portion AB is called the abutment. It has its top level same as that bund of +14.50 and has its width at top
same as that bund of +14.50 and has its width at top same as that of the top width of bund i.e.2m
b) Wing wall:
This wing wall start sloping down from B till it reaches about 30cm above MWL i.e.a level of
12.75+0.30=13.05at C.
Therefore, the portion of wing wall BC will be having its top sloping down from +14.50 to +13.05 at a splay
of 2:1 .
Since, The level wing and return walls i.e, portions CD and DE have to be throughout 30cms above MWL
the same section of wall at C can be adopted.
In order to give an easy approach the u/s using wall may be splayed 3:1 as shown in the diagram.
As the water after passing over the weir goes down to d/s side the wings and return walls need not so
strong as on the u/s side. The wing wall to F will slope down till the top reaches the ground level at F. The
dimensions of wing wall at “A” will be the same as that of the abutment.
The top of wing wall at F may be fixed at 11.00 same as ground level.
So the height of the wing wall at F may be fixed at 11.00 same ground level.
So, the height of the wing wall and return walls junction and the return walls.
The d/s side wings are given a splay of 1:5 as shown in figure.
g) U/S aprons:
Generally, number aprons are required on the u/s side of the weir. It is desirable to provide a puddle
apron as shown in the figure.
h) D/S aprons:
Since, the ground level is falling down to +10.00 in a distance at about 6m. It is desirable to
provide a stepped apron. The stepping may be in 2.
Maximum uplift pressure are experienced on the d/s aprons of dam stone level in the tank is upto
bottom of dam stone level i.e.to +12.75 with no water on the d/s side.
The lowest level of the solid apron on the d/s side is +10.00
If the residual uplift gradient is to be limited 1 in 5 then we required aprons to total length of 2.00*5 =10m
The U/S water has to be percolate under the foundation of the weir if it has to establish any uplift
under the apron. The possible path of percolation is shown in the sketch.
Assuming the puddle apron provided on the U/S stream side is not impervious the water is start
percolating from A to a level at +11.00 and reach B and C. Then it will follow the least path from D to E
under the end cut-off and then appear at F.
i.e, AB+BC+CD+DE+EF
=1.40+0.60+3.00+DE+1.00
=DE+6.00
Therefore, DE=7.75m~4m
Therefore, provide solid apron of total length 4m on the D/S side where the first apron would be of 1m
and apron of 3m.
The maximum uplift on the apron floor is felt immediately above point D in the sketch.
Total creep length from point A on the U/S side up to the point above D under the solid apron is,
AB+BC+CD+1.20
=1.40+0.60+3.00+1.20
=6.20
Therefore, head lost in percolation along the path up to the point =6.20/5=1.24m
Each meter depth of concrete can withstand a head of 2.25m by selfcut of the apron above. Allowing an
extra 20% thickness to withstand any variation the thickness of the apron required is
=1.51/2.25 + [(1.51/2.25)*(20/100)]
= 0.805m ~ 80cm
The solid apron can be similarly checked and a thickness of 50cm will be suffecient.
At the end of second apron retaining wall of the D/S side apron a nominal 3-5m length of talus with a
thickness of 50cm may be provided for safety.
(NOTE: Assume the length of wing wall on the U/S side to be 6m)

DESIGN:
(2) VENTWAY:
Area of the vent way from the sluice must be such that it can draw normal supplies of water when the
tank is at low water level.
The level of the water in the tank (a) given as+24.00
Sill of the sluice =+9.00
Head of water available= (09-08) =1m
But sluice opening is designed to draw the driving head from normal requirements=0.25m=h
Therefore to calculate area of vent way
Q=cdA√ (2gh)
0.2=0.6(A)√(2*9.81*0.25)
A=0.151m2
For circular opening A=0.151m2=πd4/4
d=0.45m=45cm
But the minimum vent way to be adopted for sluice barrels is about 75cm*60cm so as to allow room
repairs etc.
Therefore insert diaphragm stone of 45cm.
(3)SLUICEBARREL:
(A) Sluice barrel is buried under the tank bund.
The barrel will have masonry side walls.

CISTERN:
The dimensions of cistern are fixed arbitrarily to suit the earth connections of the channel and tank
bund. Cistern enables us to take off more than one channel through separate openings in its side walls.
The cistern also functions as a stilling basin for the outrushing water through the barrel and reduces any
possible scours in the channel.

OLD TANK PROJECT
2.1 INTRODUCTION
2.1.1 GENERAL:
Tanks are very important means to conserve precious water resources in a semi-arid area. These are very
small storage reservoir created on the upstream of a small earthen dam, construction across a stream. The
depth of water in a tank is usually less than 4m. However, in exceptional cases, it may be more than but not
greater than 12m. When the depth of water exceeds 12m, the tank is termed as reservoir.
De-silting the reservoir: This would require the employment of sophisticated equipment such as
hydraulic dredges. Before taking up the project, it is necessary to study whether the proposal would
yield minimum cost to restore the original capacity of the reservoir.
The surplus weir is at the end of the bund. The other side of the weir is directly on the hilly terrain. The weir
is of curved type and has counter forts to strengthen the weir. The approximate length of the weir is 45m to
dispose the surplus water during floods. It has no temporary storage arranged for storing surplus water up to
MWL. The bund is provided with a sluice opening @ 150m chainage from the start of the bund. Since water
was present in the upstream portion. The details of the sluice were difficult to survey.
2.5 PLAN:
The plan of the existing bund was plotted using compass survey.
2.5.2 OBJECTIVE:
To draw the capacity contour map of the catchment and estimate the quantity of water the can be stored.
Following are the aspects to be considered while fixing the capacity of the reservoir:
The catchment at the site proposed receives sufficient rain to cater the demand and if the proposed
site can hold the required quantity of water then required height of the bund can be constructed.
The catchment at the site proposed receives sufficient rain to cater the demand and if the proposed
site cannot hold the required quality of water then the required height of the bund shall be restricted
to site conditions.
The catchment at the site proposed receives less rain which cannot cater the demand and any height
of the bund can be constructed, then the height of the bund is fixed to store maximum water. The
catchment at the site proposed receives less rain which cannot cater the demand any height of the
bund can be restricted because of site condition, then the height is fixed taking the site condition. In
all the above cases, it is necessary to compute the yield of catchment.

3.1.1 WATER:
Human existence is governed by the availability of a water supply that is both adequate in terms of
quality. Water is the most abundant resource found in nature however only 0.62% of this is present in
freshwater lakes, rivers and groundwater supplies can support human activities. Water is chemical
compound and may occur in a liquid, Solid or gaseous form. No life can exist without water and it becomes
imperative in a modern society to build a suitable water supply scheme which may provide portable water to
the various section of society in accordance with their demand and requirements of the various sections.
3.1.2 SANITATION:
The utilization of enormous quality of water occurs in society and it returns as waste water from
every house or unit. To connect, convey and treat this water, a well-defined sanitary system is required. This
waste water is treated before being disposed in an appropriate way.

6. Treatment of the water
7. Distribution system
3.3.1VILLAGE TRAVERSING:
This survey work was done in order to obtain information about the layout of the village such as the
number of houses, population and existing water supply scheme.
EQUIPMENTS:
Plane Table With Accessories
Measuring Tape, Ranging Rods
PROCEDURE:
The entire area under consideration is surveyed in detail. Thus a detailed map indicating the houses,
network of road and place of worship, existing water supply scheme and sanitary scheme is plotted. A
proper scale was so chosen that the drawing was neither to small nor too large keeping in mind the area to be
covered. Use of three point problem was carried out when the work had to be continued the next day. The
plane table was placed at the side not in middle since it would affect traffic flow. Location of the table at
each junction point was so selected that it covered many roads from a single station.
It is the annual average of daily water required by one person. It is dependent on the living standard of
people in the region. A per capita demand of 135lpcd has been chosen.

3.6 TREATMENT:
Since the source of water is a tube well, Aeration and Chlorination are the treatment methods to be
given. The dosage of chlorine is kept as 1mg/l.
The intake well is a circular or rectangular well with circular ends located in a river bed, so that it always
remains surrounded with water, even during low flood stage. The well is built in masonry or concrete, and is
raised above the river HFL and covered at the top by wooden sleepers etc as to make it approachable from
the river bank through a foot bridge arrangement.
Screens are generally provided in front of the intake works, so as to exclude the large sized particles.
Screens are normally inclined at about 45° - 60° to the horizontal, so as to increase the opening area to
reduce the flow velocity.

3.6.4AERATORS:
1. It removes tastes &odours caused by gases due to organic decomposition.
4. It decreases the carbon di oxide content of water and there by reduces its corrosiveness and rises its PH
value.
3.6.8Coagulants:
The water that are used for domestic purpose contains fine suspended particles which take certain time to
settle down.
Particles of size 0.06mm requires 10 hours to settle down.
The particles of size less than 0.0001mm will not settle down at all and are called as Colloidal Particles.
These colloidal particles are electrically charged particles. Such particles can be removed by adding
coagulants to water
Coagulants are the chemical compounds used to remove the very fine suspended particles or colloidal
particles (of size less than 0.0001mm) present in the water that are used for various domestic purposes.
The coagulants neutralize the negative protective charge on the colloidal particles and allow them to
coagulate.
Coagulation form the particles into insoluble gelatinous floc which unite together to form particles of
bigger size which can be removed by sedimentation.

4. Chlorinated copperas
5. Magnesium carbonate
6. Polyelectrolyte’s
Aluminumsulphate or alum
Alum is an universal coagulant used in water works.It is most commonly used Coagulant
In the presence alkalinity in water the alum is added and it tends to hydrolyze into Aluminum
hydroxide.
Sodium Aluminate
Chemical composition of Sodium Aluminate is Na2Al2O4
Best grade of Sodium Aluminate contains 55% of Aluminum, 34% of Na2O3, 4.5% of Na2CO3 and
6.3% of NaOH.
Ferric Coagulants
Chemical composition of ferric coagulant may be Ferric Chloride (FeCl3), ferric sulphate
(Fe2(SO4)3), ferrous sulphate (FeSO4.7H2O), or ferric hydroxide (Fe(OH)2).
Ferric coagulants acts as oxidizing agent and remove taste, odor, and hydrogen sulphide present in
water.
These are commonly used in sewage treatment and good result can be obtained at pH value above
3.5.

4Fe(OH)2+2H2O+O2 4Fe(OH)3
Chlorinated Copperas
It is a mixture of ferric sulphate and ferric chloride obtained by adding chlorine to the ferrous
sulphate.
The flock generated by this coagulant is tough and settle down easily.
6FeSO4+3Cl2 2FeCl3+2Fe2(SO4)3
The duration of mixing in the flash mix chamber is carefully controlled and is usually between thirty
seconds and one minute. If the water is mixed for less than thirty seconds, then the chemicals will not be
properly mixed into the water. But if the water is mixed for more than sixty seconds, then the blades will
shear the newly forming floc back into smaller particles.
When determining the length of time that water must spend in the flash mix chamber, flow rates must be
calculated. The volume of the flash mix chamber and the amount of flow determine the contact time.
3.6.13 Clariflocculator:
Clariflocculator is a combination of flocculator and clarifier fabricated to attain economic and speedy
construction. It’s used at huge water treatment plants, industrial wastewater treatment plants, and potable
water treatment. It has two concentric tanks where inner tank serves as a flocculation basin and the outer
tank serves as a clarifier. These systems are fabricated proficiently according to the varied requirements of
the customers. Clariflocculators generally are used to perform the chemical primary treatment of effluents.
A circular clariflocculator is designed having vertical paddles. The water enters through a central influent
pipe and is fed into flocculator zone through ports. The effluent from the flocculation passes below the
partition wall dividing the flocculator portion and the clarifier portion. The clarified effluent is collected by a
peripheral effluent launder.
3.6.14 FILTRATION
Principle of this is removal of “REMAINING COLLOIDAL DISSOLVED MATTER, BACTERIA”.
The water is filtered through the beds of granular material, such as sands, etc. The process of passing the
water through the beds of such granular material is known as filtration. Filtration helps in removing colour,
odour, turbidity, and some pathogenic bacteria from water.
They are ,
1. The slow sand gravity filters.
Construction
1. Enclosure tank
The bed slope is kept at about 1in 100 towards the central drain
The depth of tank is kept 2.5 or 3m and area may vary from 100 to 2000m2 or more, depending upon
the quantity of water to be treated.
2. Filter media
Filter media consist of sand layer about 90cm to 110cm in depth, and placed over a gravel support.
3. Base material
The base material is gravel, and it consist of 30mm to 75mm thick with different gravel sizes.
The size of gravel in the top most layer is 3 to 6mm, intermediate layer varying from 6 to 20mm and
20 to 40mm bottom most layer is kept 40 to 65mm.
Operation
1. The treated water from the sedimentation tank is allowed to enter the inlet chamber of the filter unit and
get distributed uniformly over the filter bed.
2. The water percolates through the filter media (sand bed) and then enters the gravel layer and comes out as
the filtered water.
3. The filtered water is collected in the laterals through the open joints, which discharge into the main drain
and then filtered water is taken to storage tank.
3.6.15 Cleaning
Cleaning is done by scrapping and removing the 1.5 to 3cm of top sand layer. The top surface is raked,
roughened, cleaned and washed with good water. The amount of water required for cleaning is small say
0.2% to 0.6% of filtered water.
3.6.16 Disinfection
Disinfection unit is used for removal of “PATHOGENIC BACTERIA, ORGANIC MATTER AND
REDUCING SUBSTANCES”.
The chemicals used for killing these bacteria are known as disinfectants, and the process is known as
Disinfection or sterilization.
Minor Methods of Disinfection
1) Boiling of water
Chlorine has been found to be the best and the most ideal disinfectant and is now invariably used throughout
the world.
3.6.16.1 CHLORINATION
Chlorination commonly used to indicate broadly that the water has been treated with a sterilizing agent.
Disinfecting Action of Chlorine When chlorine is added to water, it forms hypochlorous acid or
hypochloride ions, which have an immediate and disastrous effect on most forms of microscope organisms.
The reactions that take place are
Cl2 + H2O HOCl (Hypochlorous acid) + HCl
The hypochlorous acid is unstable and may break into hydrogen ions and hypochlorite ions
HOClH+ (Hydrogen ions) + OCl-(Hypochlorite ions)
The above reaction is reversible and depends upon the pH valve of water. The dissociation of hypochlorous
acid into ions is more effective at high pH valves and vice versa. Thus, at pH valves greater than 10, only
OCl ions are found; while in pH valves of less than 7 (more than 5), HOCl will generally exist without
dissociating into OCl ions; and in the pH range of below 5, chlorine does not react and remains as elemental
chlorine.
Out of these forms of free available chlorine, the hypochlorous acid is the most destructive, being about 80
times more effective than the hypochlorite ions. For this reason, the pH valve of water during chlorination is
generally maintained slightly less than 7, so as to keep the dissociation of HOCl to minimum, and thereby
keeping more HOCl in solution compared to OCl ions.

3.8 SANITATION:
After utilization the water returns as waste water from every house or unit .This water has to be
disposed safely without polluting the environment. The main purpose of maintaining proper sanitation is to
keep the environment clean which in turn has a direct impact on public health. Such a practice would ensure
a safe and healthy environment free from factors that might lead to serious outbreak of epidemics.

HIGHWAY PROJECT
In a new highway project, the engineer had to plan design and construct either a network of new roads or
road links. There are also projects requiring redesign and realignment of existing roads for upgrading the
geometric design standards.
4.1 AIM:
The aim of the highway project is to propose a new alignment two obligatory points identified at Melukote
village. The proposal comprises of extensive field data collection, analysis of the collected data so as to
provide an economical highway alignment and with a geometric design, which meets the design guidelines.
4.1.1CONTENTS:
Introduction

Studies for alignment
Procedure for survey
4.2 INTRODUCTION:
The existing road which connects the Melukote village from Kadalgere was found to be a longer route with
width of the road to be small and not uniform. Since Melukote village was known for its temples and nature
which was the source of attraction, the tourists were finding difficulty in using the existing road containing
steep gradients. Therefore, a new highway alignment was to be proposed connecting the above obligatory
points which will be the shortest route possible but deviating from farm lands and public properties.
The proposed alignment is to 1.230km length and the survey was conducted for a width of 10m on either
side of the road to account for future expansion. On the basis of the survey data collected, a formation level
was proposed such that the area of cutting and filling will be minimum. For fixing this propose level, the
ruling gradient and minimum gradient was considered such that area of cutting will be equal to the area of
filling.
4. To find the deficiencies (if any) within the pavement structure and to redesign for the design traffic.
To work the areas of land to be acquired for the realignment and the quantity of materials required like
earthwork and various pavement materials for proposed realignment stretch and strengthen pavement.
4.3.1MAP STUDY:
If the topographic map of the area is available, it is possible to suggest the likely routes of the road. In India
topographic maps are available from the survey of India with 15 or 30m contour intervals. The main features
like rivers, hills, valleys etc. are also shown on these maps. By careful study of such maps it is possible to
have an idea of several possible alternate routes so that further details of these may be studied later at the
site. The probable alignment can be located on map from the following details available on the map.
Alignment avoiding valleys, ponds etc.
When the road has to cross a row of hills, possibility of crossing through a mountain pass.
Approximate location of bridge site for crossing of rivers, avoiding bend of river, if any.
a. Study of Survey Sheets, Maps, Etc: Reconnaissance begins with the study of all the available
maps. In India, topographical sheets are available in scale 1:50000.
b. Aerial Reconnaissance: Aerial reconnaissance will provide a bird’s eye view of the alignment under
consideration, along with the surrounding area. It will help to identify factors, which call for
rejection or modification of any of the alignments.
c. Ground Reconnaissance: The various alternate routes found feasible as a result of map and aerial
photograph study and aerial reconnaissance are further examined in the field by ground
reconnaissance. As such, this part of the survey is an important link in the chain of activities leading
to the selection of the final route.
d. Final Reconnaissance of Inaccessible and Difficult Stretches: Ground reconnaissance may
disclose certain difficult stretches, which call for detailed examination. A trace cut might be specially
made in such sections for inspection.
e. Reconnaissance Report: Based on the information collected during the reconnaissance survey, a
report must be prepared. It should include all relevant information collected during the survey.
C. SURVEY PROCEDURE:
The survey should cover a strip of sufficient width taking into account the degree and the extent of cut/fill,
with allowance for possible shift in the centreline of the alignment at the time of final design. In the normal
course, a strip width of about 30m in straight or slightly curving reaches and 60m sharp curves and hairpin
bends. Physical features such as buildings, monuments, burial grounds, place of worship, pipelines, power
lines, telephone lines, existing roads etc. that are likely to affect the project proposals should be located by
means of offsets measured from the traverse line.
Levelling work includes taking ground levels along the trace cut at intervals of 10m and at abrupt changes in
slopes and also establishing benchmarks at intervals 250m exceptionally 500m by running check levels on a
closed traverse basis independently. While learning along centreline, reading of benchmarks should also be
taken to have a cross check in regard to accuracy of the fieldwork. It is particularly important that a single
datum GTS datum should be used to tie up all levels.
Cross sections should be taken at intervals of 30m and at point of appreciable change in soil conditions.
While taking cross sections, soil classification should also be recorded. At sharp curves and difficult
locations, detailed levelling may be done for the plotting of contours.
b. For the selected alignment, a trail grade line is drawn taking into consideration the controls which are
established by mountain passes, intersections with other roads, railway/river crossing, unstable areas
etc.
c. For the alignment finally chosen, a study of the horizontal alignment and conjunction with the profile
is carried out and adjustments made in both as necessary for achieving proper co-ordination.
d. Horizontal curves including spiral transitions are designed and the final centreline marked on the
map.
e. The vertical curves are designed and the profile shown on the longitudinal section.
The reference pillars should be so located that these will not be disturbed during construction. Description
and location of the reference pillars should be noted for reproduction on the final alignment plans.
At the road crossings, the angles that the intersecting roads make with the final centreline should be
measured with the help of a transit. Similar measurements should be made at railway level crossings.
4.4.2 BENCHMARKS:
To establish firm vertical control for location, design and construction, benchmarks established during
preliminary should be re-checked.
Final alignment was carried out by transferring the alignment from the drawings to the ground by driving
pegs along the centreline of the finally chosen alignment, and setting out simple circular curves whenever
necessary.
4.5.5 CAMBER/CROSSFALL:
Camber/cross fall is essential for the drainage in the lateral direction. The pavement on straight reaches
should be provided with a crown in the middle and surface on either side sloping towards the edge.
The camber or cross fall on straight sections of roads should be as given as in Table 1. For a given surface
type, the steeper values of camber should be adopted in areas having high intensity of rainfall and lower
values where the intensity of rainfall is low.
The cross-fall for earth shoulders should be at least 0.5% more than the pavement camber subject to a
minimum of 3%. On super elevated sections, they should normally have the same cross fall as the pavement.

Now (2/3)xe is provided at the straight portion in a length equal to (2/3)xL, also a remaining (1/3 xe is
provided in the curved portion in a length equal to (1/3)xe.
In a similar way, the calculated extra widening W e is also provided, i.e., (2/3)xWe in the straight portion and
(1/3)We in the curved portion.
Also, the extra widening is introduced on the inner side of the curve for curves without transition curves also
in hilly roads.
The vertical alignment should be provided for a smooth longitudinal profile consistent with category of a
road and the terrain. Grade changes should not be too frequent as to cause kinks and visual discontinuities in
the profile.
4.8.1 GRADIENTS:
Recommended gradients for different terrain conditions except at hair-pins bonds are given in the table 8.
A minimum gradient of about 1 in 500 may be sufficient to drain the water in concrete drains but on inferior
surfaces of drains, a slope of 1 in 200 or 0.5% may be needed.

a. FLEXIBLE PAVEMENTS:
Flexible pavements are those, which on the whole have low or negligible flexural strength and are rather
flexural in there structural under loads.
The flexible pavement layers reflect the deformation of the lower layer to the surface of the layer. Thus if
the lower layer of the pavement or soil sub-grade is undulated, the flexible pavement surface also gets
undulated. A flexible pavement consists of four components: Soil sub-grade, Sub-base course, Base Course,
Surface course.
b. RIGID PAVEMENTS:
Rigid pavements are those, which possesnote worthy flexural strength or flexural rigidity. The stresses are
not transferred from grain to grain to the lower layers as in the case of flexible pavements layers. The
pavements are made of Portland cement concrete plain, reinforced are Pre-stressed concrete. The rigid
pavements are usually designed and the stresses are analyzed using elastic theory, assuming the pavement as
an elastic plate resting over elastic or a viscous foundation.
This test uses a cylindrical plunger of 50mm diameter to penetrate a pavement component material at
1.25mm/minute. The load values took cause 2.5mm and 5mm penetration are recorded. These loads are
expressed as percentages of standard load values at respective deformation levels to obtain CBR value. The
standard load values obtain from the average of a large number of test on crushed stones are 1370kg and
2055kg at 2.5mm and 5mm penetration respectively.

ZONING
5.1 INTRODUCTION:
1. Zoning describes the control by authority of the use of land, and the buildings thereon. Areas of
land are divided by appropriate authorities into zones within which various uses are permitted.
2. Zoning is the process of planning for land use by a locality to allocate certain kinds of structures in
certain areas. Zoning also includes restrictions in different zoning areas, such as height of
buildings, use of green space, density (number of structures in a certain area), use of lots, and types
of businesses.
3. Levels or types of zoning include open space, residential, retail, commercial, agricultural, and
industrial.
4. Thus, zoning is a technique of land-use planning as a tool of urban planning used by local
governments in most developed countries. The word is derived from the practice of designating
mapped zones which regulate the use, form, design and compatibility of development. Legally, a
zoning plan is usually enacted as a by-law with the respective procedures.
5. There are a great variety of zoning types, some of which focus on regulating building form and the
relation of buildings to the street with mixed-uses, known as form-based, others with separating
land uses, known as use based or a combination thereon.
6. Similar urban planning methods have dictated the use of various areas for Particular purposes in
many cities from ancient times.
Examples: For example, if you wanted to open a business in an area that was zoned as
"residential," you might not be able to do it, unless you received a variance (exception).
5.2 USES OF LAND
The use of land in town planning will be classified into two
Categories:
1. Profit-making uses of land
2. Non profit-making uses of land
1.Profit-making uses of land: The land which is developed with profit motive is said to be used for
profit-making and the sites developed for office, residences, industries, etc. are the examples of
profit-making uses of land.
2.Non-profit-making uses of land: The land which is developed without any motive of profit-
making is said to be used for non-profit making and it includes playground, parks, road, government
offices, etc.
The main non-profit-making use in urban area will naturally be the roads. The relation between
profit-making use of land and nonprofit-making use of land should be noted.
The profitable uses of land are highly dependent on the non-profit uses of land.
5.2.1 ADVANTAGES OF ZONING:
1. Danger from fire.
2. Future Development.
3. General amenities.
4. Health of community.
5. Population distribution.
6. Public utility services
In general it may be suggested that zoning promotes health, safety, prosperity, orderly
development and overall welfare of the community. There is some example showing the undesirable
situations which might develop in the absence of zoning are as follows:
The big apartment flats of big heights may be constructed very near to small cottages or houses
and thereby, they suffer from loss of light and air for surrounding structure.
The development centers of public interest may take place at random without any
considerations of their surrounding and hence their functioning result into wastage of time,
money and space.
The unsightly factories giving obnoxious gases and untimely noises invade the residential area
of the town and by the way of their working, they make the residential area unfit for living.
The public amenities may be provided as the need arises and ultimately, a time may come
when it’s become either too costly or practically impossible to alter or to modify such
amenities.
1. Density Zoning
2. Height Zoning
3.Use Zoning
DENSITY ZONING: In density zoning, the density of population in the residential areas is controlled
by means of suitable rules and regulations.
Indirect measures are adopted to have effective density zoning:
1) The front, side and rear margins of the boundaries are specified. 2) The maximum height of
the building is specified.
3) The maximum size of allotment for each house is specified.
4) The number of houses per unit area is limited.
5) The ratio of total site area to the total built-up floor area is specified.
HEIGHT ZONING: The height zoning aims at controlling the height of buildings with due
consideration of contents of the buildings and the
Street width/ the marginal open spaces for the provision of light and
Ventilation.
The height zoning affords the following advantages:
1) Controls the development of central business area of the cities and it
there by assists in solving the problems associated with such heavy
concentration e.g. traffic congestion etc.
2) It is found that if buildings with uniform height are constructed on
important streets or roads, it gives pleasing aesthetic appearance.
3) It prevents an undue monopoly of light and ventilation by some tall
buildings at the expense of adjacent units of small heights.
USE ZONING: This is the most important aspect of zoning and it defines the uses to which various
parts of the town will be put.
Detailed zoning for a military town takes into consideration the following factor:
1. Conservation of environment.
2. Functional grouping of major and other allied sub units.
3. Location of units generating noise, smoke, smell, etc. To
Minimize environmental ill effect.
4. Minimum distance between the place of work, residential zones
and central amenities.
5. Road circulation pattern.
6. Store holding units along peripheral roads.
7. Zones for the bulk external services.
5.3Economy of zoning:
One of the virtues of zoning is that great improvements could be done without serious liabilities
on the part of tax-payers, if zones are pre-planned. Of course, considerable amount of money will
be required for land acquisition, road improvements and various other aspects of the
implementation of town planning schemes. But the same can be minimized and extra costs which
might result due to charges, addition, alterations and modification after the town has been
developed without zoning can certainly be avoided.
The zoning is essential also as the basis for economy in carrying out all site planning work and
local development schemes.
It may further be noted that zoning indirectly helps in reducing costs because the use of land is
known definitely and hence sewer lines, water lines and various other public services required for
the town life can be designed and laid in the best efficient way.
5.4 ZONING POWER:
The map showing the existing use of land marked in different colors suchas residential,
commercial, etc.
The map should also show the portions of detached houses, semi detached houses, flats and
apartment houses,etc.
It should be also marked on the map the position of all manufacturing plants, public
properties, parks, play-Grounds, etc.
The map showing density of population in different areas of the town and expressed either as
houses Per unit area should be prepared.
The map showing land values in the different sections of the town should be prepared.
The map showing the details gathered from traffic survey should be prepared.
potential, alternatives for land use, and economic and social conditions in order to select and adopt
the best land-use options. Often one element of a comprehensive plan, a land use plan provides a
vision for the future possibilities of development in neighborhoods, districts, cities, or any defined
planning area.
Neighborhood Planning:
Neighborhood planning gives communities direct power to develop a
shared vision for their neighborhood and shape the development and
growth of their local area. They are able to choose where they want new
homes, shops and offices to be built, have their say on what those new
buildings should look like and what infrastructure should be provided,
and grant planning permission for the new buildings they want to see
go ahead. Neighborhood planning provides a powerful set of tools for
local people to ensure that they get the right types of development for
their community where the ambition of the neighborhood is aligned
with the strategic needs and priorities of the wider local area.
5.3.3Objects of zoning:
1. The town planner gets ample opportunities for designing their future growth and development of
town. The zoning serves as a main tool to the town planner to achieve his goal.
2. The zoning affords a proper co-ordination of various public amenities such as transport facilities,
water supply drainage, electric power, etc.,
3. The zoning proves to be an effective instrument in the hands of the town planner for making any
town planning scheme effective and successful.
Purpose of zoning:
