Question 1:

Draw a sectional elevation of (shore- submerged- tower) intakes showing

its components?

Question 2:

1- Which of the following factors doesn't affect the choice of the type of
intake?
- Depth of water source - Pollution of the shore of the river
- Width of canal - Silting and scouring areas of canal

2- Which of the following cases is suitable for the use of shore intake?
-An intake on a navigable canal with narrow width, big depth and
polluted shore.
-An intake on a navigable canal with narrow width, shallow depth.
-An intake on a very wide canal with big depth, polluted shore and great
change in water level.
-An intake on a very wide canal with big depth and great change in WL.

3- Which of the following is not an element of collection works?

- Intake - Distribution pipe
- Collection Sump - Low lift pumps' suction well
4- Which of the following conditions, of choice of intake location, is not
required to reduce pollution of the water entering the treatment plant?
- There should be a prohibited area 150 m to the U.S. and 50 m to
the D.S. of the intake.
- The intake should be located at straight area of the river.
- The opening of intake pipe should be located away from shore,
surface, and bed.
- There should be fine screens at the opening of intake pipe.

Question 3:

It is required to design the Intake Conduit Pipes for a shore intake serves a

city of designed population 300,000 capita and designed water

consumption (W.C) 200 l/c/d.

If pumps of L.L.P. Station work 16 hr/d.

Question 4:

It is required to design the Screens for a shore intake serves a city of

designed discharge (Qd) = 2.5 m3/s. The depth of the Canal feeding the

intake is 1.5 m. The intake consists of 2 pipes, each has a diameter 1.2 m.

Question 5:

Calculate the velocity through screen bars (V thr) if the approach velocity

(Vapp) = 0.6 m/s. Spacing between bars = 3 cm, thickness of bars = 2 cm,

inclination angle of bars = 60 o and screen width = 1.0 m. Then determine

the head losses through screen bars.

Question 6:

Calculate the friction losses in the conduit pipes with length of 200 m in a

water treatment plant to supply a city of population 200000 capita at the

rate of 250 L/c/d, if friction factor (F) = 0.04.

- Re-calculate the friction losses in the conduit pipes if the length of

the pipes are 50 m and F= 0.03, use 2 pipes with 80 cm diameter.

- What are your observations?

Question 7:
A water treatment plant feeds a city of 250,000 persons as a design
population, taking its raw from a navigable and narrow canal with
H.W.L. at (14.50), L.W.L. at (12.25), bed level at (8.50), G.L. at (16.00),
and road level at (17.50). If the average water consumption is 180 l/c/d,
the inlet water level of the mixing tank at WTP is (23.00), and the length of
raw water line between P.S. and mixing tank is 120 m. It is required to:
a- Choose and design a suitable type of intake including the pipes.
b- Determine the dimensions of the raw water P.S. suction well,
having the following data:
- Total number of pumps is six including 50% spare and reserve
pumping capacity.
- Spacing between C.L.s of pumps is 2.5 m.
- Plant is operated 24 hours/day.
c- Calculate the cost of annual consumed power, if the price of
kWh is 0.10 L.E., and the equivalent length of pumps' connecting
pipes and its fittings is 75 m.
d- Redesign the intake conduits and suction well if the operating
hours are reduced to 16 hours/day.
Question 8:

For a water treatment plant feeding a city of population 300,000 capita and the
average consumption is estimated to be 200L/c/d. The source of supply is
Navigable and Narrow Canal with clean shore. H.W.L. at (17.00), L.W.L. at
(16.50), bed level at (15.50), G.L. at (18.00) and road
level at (19.00).
a-Design the type of intake you recommend if it is located 1 km away from
WTP.
b-Design the required sump and low lift pumping units, calculating the
consumed mechanical and electrical power, if the pumps work 16 hours.

Question 9:

Design the intake conduits in water treatment plant with four low lift pumps
each with capacity 8640 m/d and head 15 m, operated 16 hours per day. Three
pumps are on duty at design flow, one at minimum flow, and one is standby.
