PART 1: WATER SUPPLY ENGINEERING

Lecture 1: Introduction
Sanitary Engineering: The branch of civil engineering associated with the supply of water, disposal of
sewage, other public health services and the management of water and sewage in civil engineering.

Sanitary Engineer:

1. An expert or specialist in the branch of civil engineering associated with the supply of water, collect
and disposal of sewage, and other public health services.
2. An engineer whose training or occupation is in sanitary engineering.
3. An engineer specializing in the maintenance of urban environmental conditions conductive to the
preservation of public health.

Work of sanitary engineering:

The development of sanitary engineering has paralleled and contributed to the growth of cities. Without
an adequate supply of safe water, the great city could not exist, and life in it would be both unpleasant and
dangerous unless and other wastes were promptly removed. The concentration of population in relatively
small areas has made the task of the sanitary engineer more complex.

Groundwater supplies are frequently inadequate to the huge demand and surface waters, polluted by
cities, towns, and villages on watersheds, must be treated more and more elaborated as the population
density increases. Industry also demands more and better water from all available sources. The river
receives ever-increasing amounts of sewage and industrial wastes, thus requiring more attention to sewage
treatment, stream pollution, and the complicated phenomena of self-purification.

The public looks to the sanitary engineer for assistance in such matters as design, construction, and
operation of water and sewage works are treated, the control of malaria by mosquito control, the
eradication of other dangerous insects, rodent control collection and disposal of municipal refuse,
industrial hygiene, and sanitation of housing and swimming pools. The activities just given, which are likely
to be controlled by local or state health departments, are sometimes known as public health or
environmental engineering, terms which while descriptive are not accepted by all engineering. The terms,
however, are indicative of the important place the engineer holds in the field of public health and in the
prevention of diseases.
