Candidates are required to give their answers in their own words as far
as practicable.
The figures in the margin indicate full marks.
Attempt all the questions.

1. a) With neat sketch describe briefly about major components of a water 9

supply scheme.
b) Enlist different sources of water possible for public water supply.
6
Explain a types of underground sources.
2. The population data available from census report is given below. Forecast 15
future population in 2028 by arithmetical, geometrical and incremental
increase methods. (Quantity of water)
Year 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000
Population 23256 27548 33488 39680 46978
3. a) Why quality of water obtained from rapid sand filter is not as high as 9
that of slow sand filter? With neat sketch explain construction of
pressure filter?
b) Design a plain sedimentation tank for a city having water demand of 6
2.5 mld. Assume required data suitably.
4. Calculate the discharge and velocity in pipes BC, CD, BF , and FD in pipe 15
network given below. Discharge in AB and DE is 95 lit/sec. Length and
diameters of pipes are given in table.
Pipe line Length in meter Diameter in millimetre
BC 1400 40
CD 1000 30
BF 1000 40
FD 1400 30
Assume Hazen Williams Coefficient as 100.
5. a) With significance, describe about break point chlorination. 8
b) Write about cast iron pipes with their merit ad demerits. 7
6. Define plain sedimentation. The dimension of setting zone of a continuous 3+12
flow rectangular sedimentation tank is 57m×19m×3m. Find flow velocity
of water for effective removal of 0.025mm particles at 25 0 C. The
specific gravity of particle is 2.65 and kinematic viscosity for water is
taken as 0.9 centistokes.
7. Write short notes: (Any Two) 2×5
a) Reservoir intake
b) Jar test
c) Stream and river crossing
d) Testing of pipe
