CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
_~
_ _ _ _ _"_ _ _ _ _ _ _- - - i
Water constitutes one of the important physical environments of man and has a direct
bearing on his health. There is no gainsaying that contamination of water leads to health
hazards. Water is precions to man and therefore \VHO refers to "contt'Ol of Water Supplies
to ensure that they are pure and wholesome as one of the primary objectives of
environmental sanitation". Water may be polluted by physical, chemical and bacterial agents.
Therefore, pt'Otected water supply is a sine qua non of public health of a community.
The population of India is likely to be around a thousand million by the end of the
century. The urban population would be around four hundred million by that time. This
means a very large demand on the civic amenities includ1l1g water supply for domestic
purposes and in addition more water would be needed for purposes such as irrigation,
industry, etc., which have to keep pace with the increasing demands of rising population.
Therefore, identification of sources of water supply, their conservation and optimal
utilization is of utmost importance. Even the present scale of water supply to urban and mral
population is grossly inadequate and not all communities arc provided with safe water
supply, let alone piped water system; hardly any metropolitan city has a continuous water
supply; and very few cities could boast of providing adequate water supply to meet their
growing demands at adequate pressure.
Many facets are involved in tackling the problem of providing protected water supply to
all communities at the minimum cost and in the shortest possible time. Emphasis has to be
laid on both the aspects of the system namely, planning and management technical and
financiaL At present a number of decisions, both at policy and technical levels, are being
based on empirical considerations and divergent practices arc in vogue in the country in so
far as designing the system itself is concerned. 'I'hc Manual would have to attempt at the
unification of these practices and help to inculcate rationale to policy and managerial
decisions apart from giving guidance to the public health engineers in achieving the tars>et of
providing safe water to all communities economically and expeditiously.
Obviously, it would be in the interest of public health engineers t.o have a standard
manual in public health engineering and a code of practice which could serve as a guide in
their day to day practice. This Manual would discuss the basic principles such as planning,
identification of source of supply, development and transmission, water treatment,
distribution system, testing and other related administrative aspects and also explain in detail
the proper approach to each problem.
This Revised Manual has taken into account the recent technical advances and trends in
the development of protected water supply systems, some of the major changes and
additions as highlighted in the following areas:
1
+
+
Metsurement of flow;
Minimum requirements for domestic, non-domestic, institutional, frre fighting and industrial
Recent concepts
fIltration;
Operation and maintenance problems in Vll.rious nnit operations involved 1"1 water supply,
from source development to the actual supply;
Legal aspects;
Laboratory tests and procedures with special reference to the c1assif'katioll of the \Vllter
works laboratories.
In keeping with the changeover to the metric system, the various units of measurements,
operarional parameters and design criteria have all been confined to the metric system only,
with deliberate omission of equivalents in the British System generally furnished alongside.
This has been felt necE,ssary, since there is, still an apathy on the part of the field engineer to
break away from the conventional, in which he feels at home, since tradition dies hard.

Drinking water must essentially be free of human enteroviruscs to ensure negligible risk
of transmitting viral infection. Any drinking-water supply subject to LlCeal contamination
presents a risk of a viral disease to consumers.
approacbes can be used to ensure that
the risk of viral infection is kept to a mmimllm: providing drinking water from a source
verified free of faecal contamination, or adequately treating faecally contammated water to
reduce enteroviruscs to a negligible level,
Virological studies have shown that drinking water treatment can considerably reduce the
levels of viruses but may not eliminate them completely from very large volumes of water.
VirologlCal, epidemiolOgical, and

direct virological criteria, Such criteria can
it is still insufficient
not be recommended for routine use because of the cmt, complexity, and lengthy nature of
virological analysis, and the fact that they can not detect the most relevant viruses.
The t,'tlidcline criteria shown in 'Table 2,4 arc based upon the likely viral contcnt of source
waters and the degree of treatment necessary to ensure that even very large volumes of
drinking watt:r have negligible risk of containing viruses.
C3round water obtamed ffOm a protected source and documented to be frcc {rom faecal
contamination from its zone of influence, the well, pumps, and delivery system can be
assumed to be virus-free. However, when such water is distl~buted, it is desirable that it is
disinfected, and that a residual level of disinfectant IS maintained in the distribution system
to guard against contamination,

rt may also be necessary to ascertain if supporting activities like health education, staff

components of the project. All the physical and supporting input need to be carefully costed

The next step 1S to prepare recurrent annual costs of the project for the next few
years (say 10 years) covering operating and maintenance expenditure of the entire
system (existing and proposed). This would include expenditure on staff, chemicals,
energy, spare parts and other materials for system operation, transp01tation, up-keep
of the systems and administration.
29
The annual financial burden imposed by a project comprises the annual recurring cost
and payment towards loan and interest (debt servicing). This has to be met from the
operational revenue, which can be realised from sale of water. The present and future tariff
for sale of water should be identified and a statement showing annual revenue for ten years
period, beginning with the year when the project will be operational, should be prepared. if
this statement indicates that the project authority can generate enough revenue to meet all
the operational expenditure as well as repayment of loan and interest, the lending institution
can be persuaded to sanction loans for the project.
G)
Every State Government and the Government of India have prol,'fammes for
financing water supply scheme in the urban and rural areas, and definite allocations
are normally made for the national plan periods. It will be necessary at this stage to
ascertain if and how much finance can be made available for the project under
consideration, and to estimate annual availability of funds for the project till its
completion. This exercise has to be done in consultation with the concerned
department of the Government and the lending institutions, who would see whether
the project fits in the sector policies and strategies, and can be brought in an annual
planning and budgetory cycle taking into consideration the commitments already
made in the sector and the overall financial resources position. The project may be
finally sanctioned for implementation if the financing plan is firmed up.
This section should present the essential findings and results of the pre-feasibility report.
I t should include a summary of:
The recommended project, its scope in terms of servtce coverage and servtce
standards and components
30
The administrative difficulties likely to be met with and risks involved during
implementation of the project should also be commented upon. These may pertain to
boundary question for the project area, availability of water, sharing of water sources with
other users, availability of land for constructing project facilities, coordination with the
various agencies, acceptance of service standards by the beneficiaries, tenancy problems,
acceptance of recommended future tariff, shortage of construction materials, implementation
of support activities involving peoples' participation, supply of power, timely availability of
funds for implementation of the project and problems of operation and maintenance of the
facilities.

It may also be indicated if the project authority can go ahead with taking up
detailed investigations, data collection and operational studies, pending undertaking
feasibility study formally.
(ill)
In respect of smaller and medium size projects, the pre-feasibility report can be
considered sufficient for obtaming investment decision for the project if:
The results of the pre-feasibility study are based on adequate and reliable datal
information
Analysis of the data and situation is carried out fairly intensively
No major environmental and social problems are likely to crop up that might
jeopardise project implementation
No major technical and engineering problems
construction and operation of the facilities
(iv)
In that case the pre-feasibility study with suitable concluding report, should be
processed for obtaining investtnent decision for the project. The feasibility study,
can then be taken up at the beginning of the implementation phase and results of
the study if noticed to be at variance with the earlier ones, suitable modification
may be introduced during implementation.
(v)
In respect of major projects however, and particularly those for which assistance of
bilateral or international funding agencies is sought for, comprehensive feasibility
study may have to be taken up before an investment decision can be taken.

In this section describe the histoty of project preparation, how this repe)tt is related to
other reports and stndies carried out earlier and in particular its setting in the context of a
pre-f(~asibility report. It should also bring out if the data/information and assumption made
in the pre-feasibility report are valid, and if not, changes in this respect should be highlighted.
References to all previous reports and stndies should be made.
In respect of the project area, need for a project and strategic plan for water supply, only
a brtef summary of the information covered in pre-feasibility report, should be presented,
highlighring such additional datal information, if any, collected for this report. The summary
infortnation should include planning period, project objectives, service coverage, service
standards considered and selected for long-term planning and for the project, community
preferences and aftordability, quantification of futnre demands for services, alternative
strategic plans, their screening and ranking, recommended strategic plan and cost of its

CHAPTER 4
MEASUREMENT OF FLOW
4.1 POINTS OF MEASUREMENT
The measurement of flow in water supply systems is of importance in connection with
assessment of source and its development, transmission, treatment, distribution, control of
wastage and other factors,
The probable locations where flow measurement may be needed in a water supply system
arc:
(a)
River flow gauging~upstream of intake-by floats and current meters or weirs and
flumes or dilution methods.
(b) Measuring yield from wells (yield test) using the head differential through an
orifice meter or venturi meter for pipe flows or by weirs or flumes for open
channel flow,
(c)
Intake structure~raw water input rate by venturi or orifice meter for pipe flows or
by weirs or flumes for open channel flow,
(d)
Flow at the entry to the treatment works (normally after aeration if it is practiced)
by weirs or flumes,
(e)
Filtrate flow from each filter by weirs or notches or orifice metcrs or venturi
meters,
(f)
Bulk flow measurements of water supplied fcom treatment plant and clear water
reservoir by venturi meter,
(.Iii
There are several types of flow measurements of which the more common ones are
described below with some detail. The choice of the particular type depends on the specific
circumstances and desired accuracy.

4.2.1.1. Notches
These are cut from thin metal plates, the general forms being either triangular or
trapezoidal.
Itlstallation Requirements
The approach channel should be reasonably smooth, free from disturbances and straight
for a length equal to at least 10 times the width. The structures in which the notch is fixed
shall be rigid and water-tight and the upstream face vertical. The downstream level should be
always at least 5 cm below the bottom-most portion of the notch (inverted apex) ensuring
free flow.

(v) Limitations
The triangular notches should be used only when the head is more than 60 mm.

The values obtained by the equation for triangular notches would vary from 97 to 103%
of the true discharge for discharges from 0.008 to 1.25 m'l s.
(b)
Rectangular Notches
The contraction from either side of the channel to the side of the notch should be greater
than 0.1 m.
The discharge (m'/s) through a rectangular notch with end contractions is given by the
c'luation:
(4.3)
where,
effective width == actual width of the notch + k (value of k being 2.5 mm,

The main advantage in a trapezoidal or Cipoletti notch is that as the flow passes over the weir,
the end contractions are either eliminated or considerably reduced. The SKies of the notch
should have a slope of 1 : 4 such that the top width of discharge is equal to the bottom width
of the notch (b) + half the head of water over the sill of the notch (1/2 h). Thus the loss of
discharge due to end contractions is made good. Discharge equation Q

4.2.1.2 Weirs
T'hese arc similar to rectangular notches but the thickness in the direction of flow is
considerable and therefore coefficient of discharge will be less. The installation conditions
will be the same as for the notches.

The weirs should be used only when the head is more than 60 mm. Minimum width of
the weir sbould be 300 mm.

measurement can be conveniently made at the point of drop which offers a rough estimate

eroded catchments, organic debris and mineral salts. Substantial variations In the quality of
the water may also occur between the maximum and minimum flows. In populated regions,
pollution by sewage and mdustrial wastes will be direct. The natural and man-made pollution
results in producing color, turbidity, tastes and odors, hardness, bacterial and other
micro.organisms in the water supplies.
(d) Sea Water
Sewage or other waste waters of the community may be utilized for non-domestic
purposes, such as water for cooling, flushing, lawns, parks, etc., fire fighting and for certain
industrial purp()ses, after giving the necessary treatment to suit the nature of usc. The supply
from this source to residences is prohibited because of the possible cross connection with
the potable water supply system
5.1.3 GROUNDWATER
(a) General
Rain water percolating into rhe !,'follnd and reaching permeable layers (aquifers) in the
zone of saturation constitutes groundwater source. Groundwater is normally beyond the
teach of vegetation except certain species of plants called phreatophytes, and is usually frec
from evaporation losses. Groundwater resources are less severely affected by vagaries of
rainfall than surface water resources.
The water as it seeps down, comes in contact with organic and inorganic substances
during its passage through the ground and acquires chemical characteristics representative of
the strata it passes through.
Generally, groundwaters are clear and colorless but are harder than the surface waters of
the region in which they occur. In limestone formations, b'f()undwaters are Vely hard, tend to
form deposits in pipes and are relatively non-corrosive. In granite formations they are soft,
low in dissolved minerals, relatively high in free carbon dioxide and are actively corrosive.
Bacterially, groundwaters are much better than surface waters except where subsurface
pollution exists. Croundwaters arc generally of uniform quality although changes may occur
in the quality because of water logging, overdraft from areas adjoining saline water sources
and recycling of water applied for irrigation and pollution.

LINEAMENTS

2, Elongate or aligned lakes, large sinkholes and volcanoes
(iii) Limitation
Though remote sensing is a vt!fsatile tool, the presence of important indicators of
groundwater occurrence can-not always be recognised as such on satellite images especially
where morphological expressions of geologic structures are relatively small. The tone
differences between rock types are indistinct and variation in the inclination of rock
formations minimal,
The limitations of remote sensing in groundwater exploration are:
1. No quantitative estimates of expected yield of wells can be given from remotely
sensed data,
2, No depth estimation of aquifers can be made. It may, however, be noted that
empirical observations show that len!:,'th of a lineament (fracture zone) is related to the
depth of the lineament.
3. Assessment of cfuality of water is also not possible. Although the type and vigour of
vegetation present on the land surface does provide a clue to the quality of water
underneath,
4. In high-relief areas, satellite imagery may not be adequate to locate groundwater
controls, Aerial photography may also have to be used,
5 Lateral extent of only those aquifers which arc directly exposed or manifest through
land covered e,g, shallow aquifers (vegetation), valley f!lls etc, can be delineated.
(b) Geophysical
Geophysical methods play an important roJe in any groundwater exploration work
Geophysical methods detect differences or anamolies of physical properties within the
earth's crust. Density, maj.,'11ctism, elasticity and electrical reSIstivity are the properties most
commonly measured, Experience and research have enabled difference in these properties to
be interpreted in terms of g<Xl!OgiC-structures, rock type and porosity, water content and
water quality.
All the four major geophysical methods viz; electric, magnetic, seismic and gravimctic
find their use in gr'oundwatcr exploration in addition to the method of electrical logging
whICh is used extensively to study the physical character, especially porosity and permeability
61
of aquifers penetrated by bore holes, Of the four major methods, electrical and seismic
refraction generally find the maximum use in that order.
In unconsolidated and consolidated sediments, the problem from the geophysical point
of "iew may more often be not specifically of locating groundwater as such, but
determination of water table and delineation of saline aquifers from potable water zones, On
the other hand, in igneous and metamorphic rocks where !,'foundwater generally occurs ttl
fissures and shattered zones or in basins of decomposition, the problem is mainly to locate
such structural features which constitute the possible location of the aquifers yielding
sufficient quantities of water.

The values of C, and C2 can be found out from the field observations. Drawdowns in the
observation wells (x metres away from the central well) are observed at different intervals,
when the central well is pumped out at uniform rate.
The measured values of 'p' are plotted as ordinates against measured values of x2/t as
abscissae on a log-log paper and a curve drawn as at Appendix-5.S
Because of the similarity of expressions (5.11) and (5.12) and the methods of plotting this
curve and the type curve (plotted with values of F(u) as ordinates against values of II as
abscissae on a log-log paper) there is a corresponding point on the type curve which is
displaced vertically by a fixed distance representing log C, and horizontally by a fixed amount
68
representing log C z. Therefore, a fixed amount of vertical and horizontal shift will bring the
two curves into coincidence.
I f transparent paper is used for the plot of the observed data and it IS placed over the type
curve, to be shifted horizontally and vertically until a best fit of the plotted points to the type
curve is obtained, then any matching point will identify the values of F (u) and u that
correspond to the values ofp and x 2/t by which equations (5.9) and (5.10) can be solved for
T and s.
Though these equations apply rigidly only when (i) the aquifer is homogenous; (li) the
aquifer is infmite in areal extent; (iii) the well penetrates the entire thickness of the aquifer
(Iv) the coefficients of transmissibility and storage are constant at all times and places; and (v)
water is released from storage as soon as the cone of depression develops, they could be
used in the field conditions generally encountered.

Such a driven well is adopted for use in soft ground or sand upto a depth of about 25 m
and in places where the water is thinly distributed. On account of the ease with which it can
be driven, pulled up and red riven, it is especially useful in prospecting at shallow depths and
for temporary supplies. It is useful as a community water standpost in rural area.
(ii) Protection Measures
Special care is necessary during construction to avoid surface pollution reaching the
sub-soil water level directly, through any passage between the pipe and the soil. ~The usual
precaution is to have the perforations confined to the lower depths of the aquifer with the
plain tubing extending over the top few metres of the soil. In addition, a water-tight concrete
platform with a drain should be provided above ground level, in order to deflect any surface
pollution away from the pipe,
hard materials a drilling tool shaped like the tail of a fish, the 'fishtail bit' is used. In hard rock
a 'rock bit' or 'roller bit' is substituted. This bit has a series of toothed cutting wheels that
revolve as the drill pipe is rotated.
Water wells drilled by the hydraulic rotary method generally are cased after reaching the
required depth, the complete string of casing being set in one continuous operation. If the
water-bearing fonnation lies so deep that it probably cannot be reached by a hole of uniform
diameter, the hole is started one or more sizes larger than the size desired through the
water-bearing formation. Separate strings of casing are used as required through the separate
sections of the hole. If the fonnatlOn is so well consolidated that the hole will remain open
without casing, a well may be finished with one string of casing and a well screen.
This method is most suitable for drilling deep holes in unconsolidated formations. It is
unsuitable for drilling in boulders and hard rocks due to slow progress and high cost of bits.
It IS also unsuitable for drilling in slanted and fissured formations and serious lost circulation
zones. Mud drilling is hannful in low pressure formations due to mud invasion. The
hydraulic rotary drilling generally requires large quantity of water which may have to be
brought from long distances, if not locally available. Because of adding large quantities of
water and sand or clay to the drill cuttings, the hydraulic rotary method is less suitable for
obtaining accurate logs of the strata encountered.
A reccnt advance is the use of organic drilling fluids instead of inorganic and permanently
gelatinous clays such as bentonite. The organics are almost completely sel f-destructive within
a pcnod of few days which means no drilling muds are left in the pores of the aquifer and,
therefore, almost always higher yields are obtained with accompanying lesser development
expenditures. In addition to higher specific capacities, cleaner holes (more cuttings settle on
the surface c<luipmcnt) and faster drilling rates also result
(iii) Percussion Method
In the percussion method of drilling, the hole is bored by the percussion and cutting
action of a drilling bit that is alternately raised and dropped. The drill bit, a c1ublike, chiseledge tool, breaks the formation into small fragment; and the reciprocating motion of the
drilling tools mixes the loosened material into a sludge that is removed from the hole at
intervals by a bailer or a sand pump. The drilling tools are operated by suitable machinery;
which is usually of the portable type mounted on a truck or a trailer so that it can be moved
readily from job to job. This method is best suited for drilling on boulders, slanted and
fissured formations and lost CIrculation zones. Rate of drilling in alluvial formations,
palticularly those havmg clay or sticky shale strata, is much lower as compared to direct or
reverse rotary methods. Percussion drilling in hard rock is a slow process and is being
gradually replaced by pneumatic rotary drilling because of economy and speed of completion
regardless of the higher initial cost
'Pneumatic Drilling'
Pneumatic drilling with top-hammer and eccentric bit and pneumatic drilling with down
the-hole hammer are the two principal methods available for drilling in consolidated (hard
rock) formations:
73
This drilling method, called D'Ilf for short; permits rapid and effective drilling 1fl rock
and through overburden which is not susceptible to collapse. In this method the impact
mechanism blows directly on the drill bit and accompanies it down into the hole,
Compressed air for the impact mechanism is supplied through drill tubes which arc jointed
as required as the drilling advances~ The same air is, after it has passed the hammer, made use
of fe)r Hushing. The necessary rotation IS supplied from a rotation unit connected to the
upper drill tubc~
the drill tubes arc not required to transmit the violent impact energy of the hammer,
they can be manufactured with large diarneter and stiH be relatively thin walled, 'This gives the
method better flushing characteristics than conventional top hammer driIling. Theoretically,
the rate of penetration is independent of the hole depth with the DTH method no \Vatcr is
required during drilling, The equipment is also cheaper and lighter as a much smaller
compression is required than for top hammer drilling.

If two or more water bearing strata are encountered, the water pressures in different
strata are likely to be different, that from the
usually being the greater. \vnere different
pressures thus exist, it is only possible to
their amount by separately testing each
stratum as reached, the others being cased
This operation is an essential part of the
boring and should be carefully perfol1Tled. Important differences in quality and yields are
discovered in this way.
When quality stratification exists, which may be ascenamed from geophysical logs or
drill-stem tests, blank casings should be provided against zones containing undesirable
quality of water and the annular space between the casing and hole wall should be scaled
with cement grout or packers. This will ensure that the fresh water aquifers arc not
contaminated by leakage.
Large casing is generally made of welded or riyeted steel pipe. j:or smaller sizes of pipes
which are to be driven, the standard wrought iron pipe is ordinarily used, but for hea\T
driving extra strong pipe is necessary. The life of good heavy pipes is ordinarily long, but
they arc liable to rapid corrosion due to the presence of excess amount of carbonic: acid. The
usc of rust resisting alloys would be economical in such special cases. Nonreinforcc:d plastic,
usually PVC, casing upto lOO mm dia and reinforced plastic casing and fibre glass for longer
dia upto 400 mm are coming into vOb'lle.

Infiltration Galleries
(a) Wells Vs, Galleries
Infiltration galleries offer an improvement over a system of wells, in that a ),>allery laid at
an optImum depth in a shallow aquifer serves to abstract the subsoil flow along its entire
length, with a comparatively lower head of depression. i\!on:mu, in the case of a multiple
system of infiltration \\ ells, the frictional
contributed by the several connecting pipes
diminish the draw~do\\'n in the farther wells to that extent and the utllitv ()f a well becomes
less and less in the total grid. All the same, wells have !o be locat'ed ,,,tlh a m11limum distance
in between each pair, so as to avoid mutual 111tcrf'Tence under n()rm'l1 pumpl11g. It also
becomes uneconomical to lay long lengths

flow al"tractcd IS less than the total flow past the area, additional bralltry systems could be
inserted in the samc area, with one or more pumping points, in order to draw out the
maximum quantity. \Vhen the maximum quantity possible has been abstracted through a
gallery system at a single location, the potentiality of the source at that point will have been
fully explOIted. In such a case, any augmentation of the supply from the same river as the
source will have to be attempted at a new point either upstream or downstream, with a
distance left 111 betwcen, such as would bring into the stream course adequate supplies from
the catchment, which could be tapred, without affecting the yield from the gallery already in
serVlCe.
When infiltration gallery systems arc inserted in aquifers with confined groundwater, the
rate of abstraction from the gallery must bear a practical relation to the replenishablc capacity
of the sub surface arca which comes within the influence of the gallery under pumping.
The proviSIon of a gallery within it tank or a lake-bed suffers certain inherent
chsachantages tn that the static water on top, in a state of continuous sedimentation, builds
up a Slit blanket on the top of the gallery, which may retard the free passage of watcr through
the IakcAlCd underlayers and into the gallery media. Periodical removal of the surface silty
layer so collected would overcome such a handicap.
(e) Check-dams
C.ndcr certain conditions, the provision uC" sub-soil barrage or check dam across a river
lust downstream of a gallery system, helps m 111umlating the river-bed area over the gallery
and pnmding permanent saturation of the subsoil layers contributing to the yield through
river-bed on an impermeable layer and into
the gallery. The bar:ragc is usually keyed into
the banks for it to function successfully. Incidentally, it would also save the gallery system

With a view to avoid the limitations of the I lazcnWilliams formula, the present
trend is to usc the Colebrook-\Vhitc ('(Iuation for estimation
friction factors
and then use the Darcy\Veisbach l()rmnla for estimation of headJoss due to
friction in the pipelines. This practice will yield correct results compared to the
Ilazcn Williams fommla.
The estimation of Darcy's 'f' for variations in velocity and diameter involves
repetitive and tedious calculations. Further, there is a need for assuming a
correct k value in the Colcbrook\v11itc equation for calculation of friction
coefficient 'f in the Darcy~\Veisbach formula. Conservative assumption of 'k'
values will also result in underutilization of carrying capacity of the pipes.
However it is recommended that'
losses should be estimated with
Darcy-Weisbach formula by changing 'f values for varying velOCtty and diameter
combinations and assuming a correct k value in the Colebrook-White equation.
111
Recommended 'k' values for use in Colebrook-White formula are shown in 6.21 (d).

In design of distribution systems, the design velocity should not be less than 0.6

'The determmation of the suitability in all respects of the pipes and specials, It)r any work
IS a matter of decision by the Engineer concerned on the basis of requirements for the
scheme.
Several technical factors affect the final choice of pipe material such as intcmal pressures,
coefficient of roughness, hydraulic and operating conditions, maximum permissible diamt:ter,
internal and external corrosion problems, laying and jointing, type of soil, special conditions,
etc.
Selection of pipe materials must be based on the following considerations:
(a)
The initial carrying capacity of the pipe and its reduction with use, defined, for
example, by the Hazen-Williams coefficient C.
Values of C vary for different conduit materials and their relative deterioration in
service. They vary with size and shape to some extent.
(b)
The strength of the pipe as measured by its ability to resist internal pressures and
117
external loads.
(c)
The life and durability of pipe as determined by the resistance of cast iron and steel
pipe to corrosion; of concrete and
pipe to erosion and disintegration and
plastic pipe to cracking and disintegration.
The ease or difficulty of
handling and laying and jointing under
diffcrent conditions of topography, geolc.gy and other prevailing local conditions.
(e)
The safety, economy and availability of ma.!1ufactured sizes of pipes and specials.

(g)
rnatntenance,
The
and durability of the pipe depends on
factors including inherent stren/:,>th of
the pipe mitterial, the manufacturing pmcess
with quality control, handling, transportation,
laying and jointing of the pipeline, surrounding soil conditions and quality of water, Normally,
the design period of pipelines is considered a.s 30 years. Where the pipelines have been
manufactured properly as per specifications, designed and installed with adequate quality control
and strict supervision, some of them
more than the designed life provided the quality
of water is non~corrosive. However, pipehnc failures fOf various pipe materials even before the
expiry of the designed life have
reported probably due to lack of rigid quality control
during rnanufacture and H1stallation, improper desihrn~ presence of corrosive waters, corros1ve
soil environment, improper bedding
other relevant factors.

Experiments in centrifugal casting of iron pipes were started in 1914 by a French Engineer
which ultimately resulted in commercial production of spun pipes.
the weight of vertically cast pipes of the same
IS due to close grain allowing use of tiunner wall than for that of a vertically C1St Iron pipe of
equal lengrh. It is possible by this process to mcrease the length of the pipe whilst a further
advantage hes in the smoothness of the inner sur'lace.

the location of cracks. If doubt persists further confirmation may be obtained by pouring a
little kerosene on the inside 0 f the pipe at the suspected spot. If a crack is present the
kerosene seeps through and shows on the outer surface. Any pipe found unsuitable after
inspection before laying shall be rejected.
6.4.3 JOINTS
Several types of joints such as rubber gasket joint known as Tyton joint, mechanical Joint
known as Screw Gland joint, and conventional joint known as Lead joint are used.
Rif,>id joints arc those which admit no movcment at all and comprise of flanged, welded
and turned and bored joints. Flanged joints 1Tlluirc perfect alignment and close fittings are
125
frequently used when, a longitudinal thrust must be taken such as at the valves and meters.
The gaskets used between flanges of pipes shall be of compressed fibre board or natural or
synthetic rubber. \Velded joints produce a continuous line of pipes with the advantage that
interior and exterior coatings can be made properly and are not subsecJnently disrupted by
the movement of joints.
(b) Semi Rigid joints
Semi rigid joint is reprcsentt~d by the spigot and socket with caulked lead joint. A semi
rigid j01111 allows partial movement due to vibration etc. The socketed end of the pipe should
bc' kept
the flow of water and the spigot end of the other pipe is inserted into this
socket. A twisted spun yarn is filled into this gap and it is adjusted by the yarntng tool and is
caulked well. A rope is then placed at the outer end of the socket and is made tight fit
by applying wet day, leaving t\VO holes for the escape of the entrapped air inside. The rope is
taken out and molten lead is poured into the annular space by means of a funnel. The clay is
removed and the lead is caulked with a caulking tool. Lead wool may be used in wet
conditi.ons. Lead covered yarn is of !,'fcat usc in repair work, since the leaded yarn caulked
mto place will keep back water under very low pressure while the joint is being made.
(c) Flexible joints
Flexible joints are used where rigidity is undesirable such as with filling of granular
medium and when two sections cannot be welded. They compnse mainly mechanical and
mbhcr ring joints or tyton joints which permit some d"b'fee of deflection at each joint and
arc thc,ref<:lre able to stand VIbration and movement. 1n rubber jointing special type of rubber
are used to connect. cast iron pipe which arc cast with a special type of spigot and
socket in the groove, the spigot end being lubricated with grease and slipped into the socket
by means of a jack used on the other end. The workmg conditions of absence of light,
presence of water and relatively cool unifnml temperature are all conducive to the
preservation of mbber and consctJuently this type of Joint is expected to last as long as the
pipes. lIenee, rubber jointing is to be preferred to lead jointing.

The fidd test pressure should \vherevcr possible be not less than 2/3 work test pressure
appropriate, to the class of pipe except in the case of spun iron pipes and should be applied
and maintained for atleast four hours. If the visual inspection satisfies that there m no
leakage, the test can be passed.
Where the field test pressure is less than 2/3 tile work test pressure, the period of test
should be mcreased to atlcast 24 hours. The test pressure shall be gradually raised at the rate
of 1 kg/cm2 /min. If the pressure measurements are not made at the lowest pomt of the
section, an allowance should be made for the difference in static head betwcc,n the lowest.
point and the point of measurement to ensure that the maximum pressure is not exceeded at
the lowest point. If a drop in pressure occurs, the quantity of water added in order to
re-establish the test pressure should be carefully measured. ThiS should not exceed n.! litre
pe, mm of pipe diameter per KM of pipeline per day for each 30 metre head of pressure
applied.
In case of gravity pipes, maximum working pressure sball be 2/3 work test pressure.
The hydrostatic test pressure at works and at field after installation and the working
pressure for different classes of pipes are given in Appendix. GA.

coat of rich cement mortar is applied after welding. Steel pipes may be joined with flexible
joints or by welding but lead or other filler
hot or cold, are not recommended, The
welded joint is to be preferred. In areas
to subsidence this joint is satisfactory but
flexible joints must be provided to isolate valves and branches.
When welding is adopted, plain-ended pipes may be jointed by butt welds or sleeved
pipes by means of finct welds, For laying long straight k~lgths of pipelines, butt joint
technique may be employed. 'Ibe steel pipes used for water supply include hydraulic lap
welded, electric fusion welded, submerged arc welded and spiral welded pipes. The latter are
being made from steel strip, For laying 0 f welded steel pipe IS 5822-1986 may be referred
to.
For more details on different types of steel pipes used, reference may be made to the lSI
codes indicated in Appendix 'C'.
For hydraulic testing of steel pipelines, the procedure described
and ductile iron pipes may be followed.

GENERAL
Ductile I ron is made by a metallurgical process which involves the addition of magnesium
into molten iron of low sulfur content. The magnesium causes the graphite in the iron to
predpitatt~ in the form of microscopic (6,25 micron) spheres rather than the flakes found
in ordinary cast iron. The spheroidal h'faphite in iron improves the properties of ductile iron,
It possesses properties of high mechanical strength, excellent inlpact resistance and good
casting qualities 0 f grey cast iron, Ductile Iron pipes are normally prepared using the
centrifugal cast process. 1be ductile iron pipes are usually provided with cement mortar
lining at the factory by centrifugal process to ensure a uniform thickness through out its
length. Cement mortar lining is superior to bituminous lining as the former provides a
smooth surface and prevents tuberculation by creating a high pH at the pipe wall and
ultimately by providing a physical and chemical barrier to the water,
The Indian standard IS 8329-1994 provides specifications for the centrifugally cast ductile
iron plpes(Similar to ISO:2531-1998 and EN:545-1994), These pipes are available in the
range of 80 mm to 1000 mm diameter; in lengths of 5,5 to 6 m. These pipes are being
manufactured in the country with ISO 9002 accreditation.
Ductile iron pipes have excellent properties of machinability, impact resistance, high wear
and tear resistance, high tensile strength, ductility and corrosion resistance. 01 pipes having
same composition of CI pipe, it will have same expected life as that of CI pipes, The ductile
iron pipes are strong, both inner and outer surfaces are smooth, free from lumps, cracks
blisters and scars, Ductile Iron pipes stand up to hydraulic pressure tests as required by
service regulations, These pipes are approximately 30% lighter than conventional cast iron
pipes,

AC coupling joint
(a) Cast Ir01l Detachable Joints
This consists of two cast iron flanges, a cast iron central collar and two tUbber rings along
with a set of nuts and bolts for the particular joint. For this joint, the AC pipes should have
flush ends. For jointing a flange, a tUbber ring and a collar are slipped to the first pipe in that
order; a flange and a tUbber ring being introduced from the jointing of the next pipe. Both
the pipes are now aligned and the collar centralized and the joints of the flanges tightened
with nuts and bolts.
(b)
This consists of an AC Coupling and three special rubber rings. The pipes for these
joints have chamfered ends. These tUbber rings are positioned in the grooves inside the
coupling, then grease is applied on the chamfered end and the pipe and coupling is pushed
131
with the help of a jack against the pipe. The mouth of the pipe is then placed in the mouth of
the coupling end and then pushed so as to brmg the two chamfered ends close to each other.
Wherever necessary, change over from cast iron pipe to AC pipes or vice-\'crsa should be
done with the help of suitable adapters. 1.5. (,S3U 1972 may be followed for laying AC
p1pes.
At a time one section of the pipeline between two sluice valves is taken up for
testing. The section usually taken is about 500 meters long.
(b)
One of the valves is closed and the water is admitted into the pipe through the
other, manipulating air valves suitably.
(If there are no sluice valves in between the section, the end of the section can be
sealed temporarily with an end cap having an outlet which can serve as an air
relief vent or for filling the fine as may be required. The pipeline after it is filled,
should be allowed to stand for 24 hours before pressure testing).
(c)
After filling, the sluice valve is closed and the pipe section is isolated.
(d)
Pressure gauges are fitted at suitable intervals on the crown into the holes meant
for the purpose.
(e)
The pipe section is then connected to the delivery side of a pump through a
small valve.
(f)
The pump is then operated till the pressure inside reaches the designed value
which can be read from the pressure gauges fixed.
(g)
After the required pressure has Decn attained, the valve is closed and the pump
disconnected.
(h)
The pipe is then kept under the desired pressure during inspection for any
defect, i.e. leakages at the joints etc. The test pressures will be generally as
specified in 6.7.1 and Appendix 6.4. The water will then be emptied through
scour valves and defects observed in the test will be rectified.
111
Trenches shall be back filled immediately after the pipe has been laid to a depth of
300mm above the pipe subject to the condition that the jointing material has hardened (say
12 hours at the most). The backfill material shall be free from boulders, roots of trees etc.
The tamping shall be by hand or by other hand operated mechanical means. The water
content of the soil shall be as near the optimum moisture content as possible. Filling of
trench shall be carried on simultaneously on both sides of the pipe to avoid development of
unequal pressures. The back fill shall be rammed in 150mm layers upto 900mm above the
top 0 f the pipe.

The number of pipes that shall be jacked together at a time depends upon the ilia of the
pipe and the bearing capacity of soil. For small pipe upto 250mm dia, six pipes can be jacked
together at a time. Before and during jacking, care should be taken to see that there is no

134
Prestressed Concrete Cylinder pipe has the following two general types of
constmction : (1) a steel cylinder lined with a concrete core or (2) a steel cylinder
embedded in a concrete core. In either type of constmction, manufacturing begins
with a full length welded steel cylinder. Joillt rings are attached to each end and the
pipe is hydrostatically tested to ensure water-tightness. A concrete core with a
minimum thickness of one-sixteenth time's the pipe diameter is placed either by the
centrifut,>aI process, radial compaction, or by vertical casting. After the core is
cured, the pipe is helicaUy wrapped with high strength, hard drawn wire using a
stress of 75 percent of the minimum specified tensile strength. The wrapping stress
ranges between 150,000 and 189,000 psi (1034 and 1303 Mpa)depending on the
Wire size and class. 'T'he wire spacing is accurately controlled to produce a
predetermined residual compressIon the, concrete core. The wire is embedded in
a thick cement slurry and coated with a dense mortar that is rich in cement
content
It is worth while when designing the pipeline to make provision for as many branches as
are likely to be required in the future and then to install sluice valves or blank flanges on
these branches. I t is possible to make connections to the installed pipeline by emptying,
breaking out and using a special closure unit but this is a costly item.
6.9.4.2 Manufacture
Manufacture of Bar Wrapped Steel Cylinder Concrete Pressure Pipes begins with
fabrication of a thin steel pipe cylinder. Thicker sted joint rings are welded at both ends.
Each pipe is hydrostatically tested. A cement mortar lining is placed by centrifi.lg'al process
inside the cylinder. The lining varies from 1
to 25 mm. After the lining is cured by
steam or water, mild steel rod is wrapped on the cylinder using moderate tension in the bar.
The wrapping is to be done under controlled tension ensuring intimate contact with the
cylinder. The cylinder and bar wrapping arc c()Ycred with a cement slurry and a dense mortar
COaling that is rich in cement. The coating (s cured by steam or water.
6.9.4.3 Joints

Tbe PVC pipes are much lighter than conventional ptpe materials. Because of their
lightweight, PVC pipes are easy to handle, transport, and install. Solvent cementing technique
for jointing PVC pipe lengths is cheaper, more efficient and far simpler. PVC pipes do not
become pitted or tuberculated and are unaffected by fungi and bacteria and are resistant to a
wide range of chemicals. They are immune to galvanic and electrolytic attack, a problem
frequently encountered in metal pipes, especially when burried in corrosive soils or near
brackish waters. PVC pipes have elastic properties and their resistance to deformation
resulting from earth movements is superior compared to conventional pipe materials
specially AC. Thermal conductivity of PVC is very low compared to metals. Consequently
water transported in these pipes remain at a more uniform temperature.
Rigid PVC pipes weigh only 1/5'" of conventional steel pipes of comparable sizes. PVC
pipes are available in sizes of outer dia, 20,
50, 63, 75, 90, 110, 140, 160, 250, 290, and
31Smm at working pressures of2,5,4,6, 10 Kg/em' as PCf IS 4985 - 1988.
Since deterioration and decomposition of plastics are accelerated by ultraviolet light and
137
frequent changes in temperature which are particularly severe in India, it is not advisable to
use PVC pipes above ground. The deterioration starts with discolouration, surface cracking
and ultimately ends with brittleness, and the life of the pipe may be reduced to 15-20 years.

Inlet Valves
In the deSIgn and operation of large steel pipelines, where gravity flow occurs,
considerations must be given to the possibility of collapse in case the internal pressure is
reduced below that
atmosphere. Should a break occur in the line at the lower end of a
slope, a vaccum will in
probability be formed at some point upstream from the break due
to the sudden rush of water from the line. To prevent the pipe from collapsing, air inlet
(vaccum bre;tking) valves are used at critical points,
,ul
These valves, normally held shut by water pressure, automatically open when this
pressure is reduced to slightly below atmosphere, permitting large quantities of air to enter
of any vaccum. In addi60n to offering

6.16.18 ANCHORAGES
Anchorages are necessary to resist the
of the pipes to pull apart at bends or
other points of unbalanced pressure, or when they are laid on steep gradients and the resistance of their joints to longitudinal (shearing) stresses is either exceeded or inadequate. They
are also used to restrain or direct the expansion and contraction of rigidly joined pipes under
the influence of temperature changes. The unbalanced static pressure at ends computed by
tht~ expresslOn 1/2 n d 2 p sin a/2 with the two component pressures in the direction of each
pipe leg being 1/4 nd2 a p (where d =: dia of pipe, a =: degree of bend and p the water
pressure in the pipeline) is compared with the magnitude of the resistance of the pipe joint
(which is 14.06 Kg/ cm2 for lead Joint) and 'l11chorages are designed to resist the balance
force. Horizontal thmst F at Bend := 2 A ~ sin a/2, where ~ == internal pressure in Kg/ em2 ,

Anchorages take many forms. For
designed as concrete buttresses or 'Kick blocks' that resist the unbalanced pressure by their
weight, in much the same manner as a gravity dam resists the pressure of the water that it
impounds. The resistance offered by the pipe joints themselves, by the friction of the pipe
exterior and by the bearing value of the soil in which the block is buried may be taken into
consideration if the cost of the block is to be a minimum. Steel straps attached to heavy
boulders or to bedrock are used in place of buttresses where it is possible and convenient to
do so.
The unbalanced thrust may be counteracted by longitudinal tension 111 an all-welded
pipeline, Or by a concrete thrust block bearing against the foundation material. Tn the case of
a jointed pipeline the size of the block may be calculated using soil mechanics theory. In
addition to frictional resistance on the bottom of the thrust block and the circumference of
the pipeline, there is a lateral resistance against the outer face of the pipe and block. The
maximum resisting pressure a soil mass will offer is termed the passive resistance and is given

the line.
A discharge tank will only operate if the water surface is above the lowest level to which the
head in the pipeline would otherwise drop following pump stoppage. For very long pipelines
with a number of successively higher peaks, more than one discharge tank may be installed along
the line. The ranks should be installed at the peaks where water column separation is most likely.
The lowest head which will occur at any point beyond a rank as the down surge travels along the
line is that of the water surface elevation of the preceding rank.
best position for discharge ranks and inline reflux valves is selected by trial and error and
experience. In a case with many peaks or major pipelines with large friction heads, a complete
analysis should be carried out, either graphically or by computer. In particular, a final check
should be done for flows less than the maximum design capacity of the pipeline.
'DIC
Even though a number of tanks may be installed along a pipeline, vaporization is always
possible along rising sections between the tanks. Provided there are no local peaks, and the line
rises fairly steeply between tanks, this limited vaporization should not lead to water hammer
overpressures.

A small diameter bypass to the reflux valve should be installed to permit slow refilling of
the vapour pocket otherwise over pressures may occur on restarting the pumps. The
diameter of the bypass should be of the order of one-tenth of the pipeline diameter. An air
release valve should be installed in the pipeline at the peak to release air which would come
out of solution during the period oflow pressure.
It is common practice to install reflux valves immediately downstream of the pumps.
Such reflux valves would not prevent water hammer pressures in the pipeline. They merely
prevent return flow through the pump and prevent water hammer pressure reaching the
pumps.
Normally a reflux valve installed on its own in pipe-line will not reduce water hammer
pressures, although it may limit the iateral extent of the shock. In fact, in some situations
mdiscnminate positioning of reflux valves in a line could be detrimental to water hammer
pressures. For instance if a pressure relief valve was installed upstream of the reflux valve the
reflux valve would counteract the effect of the other valve. It may also amplify reflections
from branch pipes or collapse of vapour pockets.
In some pumps installations, automatically closing control valves, instead of reflux valves,
arc installed on the pump delivery side.

The main advantage of the pebble bed flocculator is that it requires no mechanical

of this flocculator is that there is gradual build up of the head loss across the pebble bed and

already present. In this manner a completely flocculated system is constantly maintained and
a type of sludge is produced which seilles very rapidly and results in completely "cracked"
water. At the same time, the ftltering action of the blanket traps the fincr particles.
The c1arfication zone extends from the top of the sludge blanket to the surface of the
liquid. Upon emergence from the sludge blanket, the water passes through this clarification
zone and is collected for use.

From time to time the excess sludge is withdrawn either by gravity or by pumping.

to a depth of 0.2 -0.3 m is placed on the underdrains to prevent the sand from entering the

According to this equation, the maximum hydrodynamIC shear occurs in a fluidized bed
at porosities of 0.68 to 0.71 for typically
filter sands which corresponds to an expanslOn
of 80 to 100/1). However, the curve of
hydrodynamiC shear versus porosity is quite flat,
indicating that washing at porosities different from the theoretical optimum does not result
in a major decrease in the efficiency
cleaning process. Optimal cleaning has been observed
in some cases at expansion of 16-18% only.
It has been found that there is lack of abrasion during water backwash and th"re!m'e
backwashing with water alone is .
a weak cleaning process.
cleaning,
abrasion resulting from collision,

The filtering medium is a byer of diatomaceous earth built up on a porous septum by
recirculating a slurry of diatomaceous earth until a firm layer is formed on the septum. The
prccoat thus formed is used for strain1l1g the turbidity in water, For this, diatomaceous earth
is applied at 0.5 to 2,5 kg/m" of septum, Some times, when the turbidity is very high, the
diatomaceous earth will have to be added to the incoming water as body feed, Body feed is

\Vhen superchlorination is employed, tbe water usually contains excess of frce available
chlorine wbich must be removed bcfc)re it becomes acceptable to consumers. Dechlorination
is the partial or complete reduction of undesirable e)(cess chlorine in water by any chemical
or physical treatment.
Prolonged storage and absorption on
granulated carbon and activated carbon
are effective. [\]so reducing compounds like sulphur dioxide, sodium thiosulphate and
sodium bisulphate arc frequently used as dechlorinating agents. Dechlorination by sulphur
doxide and its derivatives is feasible, rapid
precise. About one part of SO, (by weight) is
required for each part of chlorine to be removed, the exact amount to be determined by the

\Vhen the distribution system is long and complex, it may be difficult to maintain the
minimum chlorine residual of 0.2 mg/l at the farthest end. To achieve this if a

dosage is applied at the postchlorination
it would, apart from being costly, make the

chlorination has led to
use of
automatic changeover
particularly at
The basic concept of these
systems is to switch from a depleted source
chlorine to a stand by source automatically
without the presence of an operator,
methods have been used to accomplish this,
One system consists of electrically
chlorine shut off valves, actuated
a
chlorine-pressure switch that senses the loss of chlorine pressure due to empty cylmdcrs,
Another system uses two pressure-reducing
each attached to its own source of
chlorine and manifold on the downstream
The pressure settings of the two valves arc
adjusted so that the valves control at
approximately 5 psig apart. Since a
pressurc.reducing \'alve will not open until
downstream pressure is lower than its setting,
the valve with the higher setting opens first, allowmg gas to flmv through the vah'c from its
source, ThiS process continues until the
source is depleted and the downstream pressure
drops to the setting of thc second vakc, at which point it opens and chlorine flows from the
standby source.
The recent development of small cylinder mounted chlorinators has added more types of
automatic changeo\'(:r systems to the market place, It is not necessary to detail the operation
of each, but merely to state that they meet
need of permitting continuous chlorine
feed in a simple, inexpcnsive manner for even
smallest gas chlorination facilities.

Tray aerators are commonly used for aerating water. The trays are desIgned for an
aeration rate of 1.26 m 3/ m' /hr and spaced at intervals of 1 m. Then the water is settled in a
sedimentation basin having a detention period of 2.5 hours. The clarified water is ftIrerce!
through a rapid sand ftIter having sand of effective sIze 0.6-0.8 mm and uniformity
coefficient 1.3 with an effective depth of 1.2 m. The head of water above sand is 1.35 m and
the rate of filtration 5 m 3 /m'/h, The minimum backwash rate is 35 m 31m' /h and the total
head required for ftlter wash is 12 m.

Power sbut-downs are frequent and rarely more than two hours supply is available in the
morning and evening in rural areas. Hence raw water pumping hours can be assumed to be 2
hours in the morning and 2 hours in the evening. During these 4 hours of pumping the total
daily requirements of water arc to be pumped to the raw water elevated storage tank. The
treatment plant has therefore to be designed to operate under gravity from the raw water
storage tank taking these facts into account. To avoid extra cost for additional over.. hcad
tank for filtered water, the filtered water from the pump-well could be directly pumped for
the distribution. The distribution of treated water would follow th,! same time schedule as f(n
pumping raw water. Backwashing of the sand filter would be carried out by using raw water
from the overhead tank.

This scheme intends to treat the raw water for villages and includes channel mixer, pebble
bed flocculation, sedimentation tank and constant rate sand filters. The desi!-,'11s of entire
water facilities arc available for 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 populations. The scheme is gravity
operated except the filling of the overhead tank and delivery from treated water sump.
Channel mixer is provided for mixing lime slurry or sodium carbonate solution and
aluminium salts with the raw water. Pebble bed flocculation is used in place of conventional
flocculation in order to avoid the dependence on electric power supply. The scheme
envisages power supply for 2 hours each during morning and evening for filling the over
head tank and for supply of treated water. The basis of desigt1 of ,'arious units are gi,-en

The size of all units, viz., overhead tank, channel mixer, pebble bed flocculator,
sedimentation tank, sand filter and underground treated water storage tank arc based on
these desil,'l1 considerations for populations 500,1000,2000 and 5000. Layout plan and
sectional elevation for treatment plant of Nalgonda Technique arc given in Fig. 9.6
Nalgonda Technique has several advantages over the fixed bed ion-exchange processes. It
docs not involve regeneration of media and employs chemicals which arc readily available
and easy to operate and maintain using local skills. Colour, odour, turbidity, bacteria and
organic contaminants also get removed simultaneously. The sludge generated is convertible
to alum for usc in removal of excess turbidity of surface waters.

per square metre of still area is about 200 liters per year. The efficiency of a solar distiller is
the condensed water actually produced divided by the water which could theoretically be
evaporated by all the solar energy reaching the outer cover.
In general, wherever skies are generally clear, solar distillation is feasible upto 40" latitude,
where 1000 kWI m 2 of energy from the sun in each year can be available, the solar radiation
being more important than the mean ambient temperatures and the wind factors being
negligible except as they relate to stresses upon solar distillation structures. The production
of water by still varies from month to month and even day to day depending upon the solar
radiation available. The size of still is often to be designed on the basis of the least
productive month. Yields of about 1 mJI m 2 /year have been adopted for some of the bigger
stills constmcted and used successfully. The still area needed is given by the expression:
= 6.008
10 3 x S
(9,4)
Where
Values typical for India for various latitudes arc given in Appendix 9,4
The best situations for the use 0 f solar distillation are' the isolated areas and certain
regions where fresh water is unobtainable, solar intensities are high, fuel resources arc
meager and industrial development is poor.
It is not useful to installliquid/liquid heat exchangers to recover heat from the exit brine
and exit distillate. The vapor produced has to be condensed. Any recovery of heat could only
be used to heat the feed water, and if this were done, the circulating water supply to the
condenser would need to be increased.

water is cooled and fresh water is heated. Hot fresh water leaving the highest pressure stage
is used to heat in coming sea water. Part of the cooled fresh water is recycled to the lowest
pressure stage; the rest is product.
In most processes involving sea water distillation, scaling limits the maximum
temperature in the systems. In the vapour reheat system, the absence of heat-transfer
surfaces and reduction of scaling problems removes this limitation.
9.8.2 FREEZING
Eutectic Freezing
This operates at the eutectic temperature of the incoming wate!'. Down to the eutectic
point only ice is formed. At the eutectic point,
crystals nucleate and grow independently
of salt crystals and other substances in the water, thus pem1itting separation, Furth~;r rcrnoval
of heat docs not continue to lower the tempcranm:.
9.8.3 SOLVENT EXTRACTION
Organic solvents partially miscible with water can be used to extract the fresh water
leavmg behind a more concentrated salt solution. The solvent fresh water phase can be
separated out from the concentrated salt solution and distilled to yield fresh water.
9.8.4 OSMOSIS
concentrated feed solution is generally discarded. lbe membrane must be highly permeable
to water, highly impermeable to solutes, and capable of withstanding the applied pressure
without failure. Because of its simplicity in concept and execution, reverse osmosis appears
to have considerable potential for wide application in water and waste water treatment
(b) Electrodialysis (ED)
Unaided osmosis is a relatively slow process and hence attempts have been made to
combine this with electrolysis. Application of an external electromotive force can draw the
ions away from the salt solution towards the electrodes so that the solution is impoverished
of its salt content. The reunion of the ions by diffusion can be prevented by using suitable
membranes to separate the cathode and anode chambers and also by continuously removing
the relatively concentrated solution of the electrolytes from the electrode chambers. To
obtain purification of sufficient magnitude a number of electrolytic cells have to be used in
series. In essence the apparatus would consist of a number of electrolytic cells each of which
is composed of 3 compartments separated from each other by suitable membranes. The
saline water circulates in series through the middle compartments of the cells and undergoes
progressive purification. The number of cells and the rate of flow may be adjusted to give the
degree of purification required. A direct current of 110 to 220 volts is employed. The
electrodes are continuously washed with the treated water. One of the main disadvantages of
the electrodialysis process is that the membranes get badly damaged as a result of corrosion
and scale formation. Another disadvantage is that the cost goes up steeply as total solids
content of the finished water decreases. Power loss is minimized if the water is derruneralised
only partially to final concentrations of less than 500 mg/l in a multi-compartment celL
Average power requirements are 1 k\'\!h/ m1 of water/WOO mg/ 1 of TDS removed for
waters with initial 'IDS values of 10,000 and less. Since power requirements rise sharply with
higher initial values in this method compared to distillation and freezing, this process is
adopted only for waters containing less than 10,000 mg/l of dissolved solids.
(c) Osmionic Process
This process is based on the principle of osmosis through ion-selective membranes which
pass only alllO!1S or cations preventing the passage of the other ions. '[be concentration
gradient between the solutions supplies the potential required to drive the ions through the
lon-selective t1;lcmbranes unlike in the case
reverse osmosis where pressure is applied to
force the water but not the salts through the rncmbranes.

9.9 CORROSION
Corrosion is the phenomenon of the interaction of a material with the environment
(water, soil or air) resulting in its deterioration, Jn water supply corrosion causes significant
loss in the hydraulic canTing capacity

Important role in the availability of oxygen. For example, lime and sandy soils have different

permeability for air penetration to the surface of the buried pipelines and local cells form
between various parts of the pipeline.
The porous ferric hydroxide deposit acts as a protective coating and retards the
corrosion. The accumulation of hydroxide ions near the cathode which reduces the free
movement of electrons also retards the corrosion reaction.
9.9.3
Corrosion testing can bc carried out either in the fidd or in the labonttOlY under
controlled environment simulating field conditions, Corrosion testing is done using coupo",
or resistance probes, Coupons are made up of the same material as the structure ,md
normally insulated from the main structure, 'Thc coupons arc cleaned before and aftcr
insertion and the weight loss is expressed as g/cm'/ycar which is the measure of corrosion
rate, Resistance probes are metallic rods or plates insetted at elbows using a tee in
mainstream of water or in a bypass, They operate on the principle th,at when a thin wire or
foil corrodes its electrical resistance increases due to the decrease of its cross sectional area,
'1'he resistance measurements arc converted to corrosion rate, Other field tests usc thickness
detectors for measuring the metal remaining in the corroded pipes or visual examination as a
crude method, All these tests arc not completely satisfactory by themselves,
Investigation of groundwater level and characteristics of water along with the n::,ults
laboratory or field tcst can be used to predict the possible corrosivity of the soil in which
pipes are laid, Correlation between the soil resistivity or conductivity and corrosion is given
in Table 9,7,

(c) Methods
(i) Deposition of Protective Coatings
A thm film of calcium carbonate call be deposited by the water on the inner surface of
pipes by adjusting pH and alkalinity uf the water to keep the Langelier Saturation Index 'I' to
a slighdy positive value. Lime or soda ash or both can be used to raise pH and alkalinity.
Small amount of sodium silicate can deposit dense, adherent but slighdy permeable ftlm.
A dose of 12 to 16 mg/l is maintained in the beginning and !,'Tadually reduced to 3 to 4 mg/I.
Organic coatin!,'S such as enamels, tar or bituminous coating are effective only to the extent
of their coverage and durability. Epoxy coatings hold promise but their toxic effects due to
leaching are not fully established. For cast iron and steel pipes, cement lining of the interior
surface is satisfactory. Insertion of plastic prpe into an existing partly corroded pipe is also
useful. For controlling corrosion of reinforcing steel and preventing disintegration of
concrete in RC dome covers of overhead tanks, the concrete cover of such domes may be
adccJuately protected (IS No. 456 : 1978). Protective coating to reinforcement is also
suggested.
Some polyphosphates are reported to inhibl1 corrosion by forming protective ftlms on
the cathodic area. 'J'hey also function as inhibitors for precipitation of calcium, magnesium
and iron. Red water problem has been minimized in certain cases because oxidation and
precipitation of iron is prevented. Sodium hexametaphosphate (Calgon) is the most widely
used polyphosphate, The effectiveness of polyphosphates is progressively greater at
increasing turbulent velocities and at increasing concentrations. The initial dose may be as
high as to 6 to 12 mg/l and then reduced to 1 to 2 mg/1. This can prevent the formation of
rough deposits and remove sharp projections from the existing rough ftlms.
(ii) Treatment of Water
Treatment of water such as adjustment of pH, removal of carbon dioxide, increase in
c,ucium Of carbonate ion concentration or addition of inhibitors can overcome to a large
extent the corrosive nature 0 f water. Chemical treatment can be effective as only a
supplement to other methods like protectiVe coatings and is limited by the cost.
I ron bacteria problems in tubewells can be overcome by treating the well with
concentrated bleaching powder solutoiol1 dose of 50 mg/I (as chlorine) and a contact period
of 6 hours. I t is' necessary to periodically flush out the dead ends so that stagnation for more
than a month docs not take place. A1"fer flushing, these dead ends have to be disinfected by
chlorine, De-oxygenation ,{.J4"tleactivation of water is the essence of reducing corrosive nature
of water and is accomplished by passing over heated scraps of iron or by deoxygenation
under vacuum. These methods, however, are not practised in community water supply
systems because of cost considerations but are eminendy suitable for industrial water
systems.

CHAPTER 10
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
'----------------------10.1 GENERAL
The purpose of the distribution system is to convey wholesome water to the consumer at
adequate residual pressure in sufficient quantity at convenient points. Water distribution
usually accounts for 40 to 70% of the capital cost of the water supply project. As such,
proper design and layout of the system is of great importance. Metering is recommended for
all cities as indicated in section 17.4.2.

it upto the suction of the pump. While reaching upto the suction of the pump, the energy
content of the water, which was one atmosphere when it was pushed through the foot valve
would have reduced, partly in overcoming the friction through the foot valve and the piping
and the pipe fittings, partly in achieving the kinetic energy appropriate to the velocity in the
suctton pipe and partly in rising up the static suction lift. The energy content left over in the
water at the suction face of the pump is thus less than one atmosphere until here the flow is
a fairly streamlined flow. But with the impeller rotating at the pump suction, the flow suffers
turbulances and shocks and will have to lose more energy in the process. This tax on the
energy of the water demanded by the pump, before the pump would impart its energy, is
called the NPSHr of the pump.

If the energy of the water at the pump suction would be less than the vapour pressure,
the water would tend to evaporate. Vapour bubbles so formed will travel entrained in the
flow until they collapse. This phenomenon is known as cavitation. In badly devised pumping
systems, cavitation can cause extensive damage due to cavitation erosion or due to the
\,bration and noise associated with the collapsing of the vapour bubbles.

FIG. 11.6
This is the difference between the level of the Itquid in the suction-sump and the level of
the highest point on the dehvery piping, obviously the static head is more at the low water
level (LWL) and less at the high-water level (HWL)"
(b) Friction Head
This is sum of the head-losses in the entire length of the piping, from the foot valve to
the final point" of delivery piping, also the losses in all the valves i.c" the foot valve, the
non-return (reflux)
and the isolating C/,renerally, sluice or butterfly) valves, and the losses
in all pipcfittings such as the bends, tees, elbows, reducers, etc. The friction head varies
particularly with the '"ate of flow. Details for calculating the friction heads arc given in
Chapter 6.
(c) Velocity Head
;\t the final point
delivery, the kinetic energy is lost to the atmosphere. To recover part
of this loss, a bell-mouth is often provided at the final point of delivery. The kinetic energy at
the final point of delivery has also to be a part of the velocity head. Figs. 11.6 Ca, b & c) show
typical System Head Curves. As shown in Fig. 11.6(b) the System Head Curves for HWL and
LWL arc parallel to each other.
400
The system head curve will change by any changes made in the system, such as change in
the length or size of the pipings, change in size and/or number of pipe littings, changes in
the size, number and type of valves by operating the valves semi-open or fully open, These
changes can cause the System Head Curve to be steep or flat as shown in Fig 1 L 6 (c),
Based on the considerations in I L 1.4 and 1t 1.5, a summary vi<:w is compiled of the
application-parameters and suitability of pumps of various types and presented in 'fable 11.3,
However, these are general guidelines. Specific designs may cither not satisf), the limits or
certain designs may exceed the limits,

IN OPERATING
DELIVRY
(c)
When specifying the operating pamt of the pump, margins and safety factors,
especially in specifYing head should he avoided. On providing margins and safety
factors, the rated head for the pump would work out high. In actual running the
pump would work at a head less than the rated head and yield high discharge. From
Fig. 1 L 1, it would he noted that the Power versus Q characteristics of pumps of
specific speeds upto 300 is with positive gradient, hence demanding more power at
higher discharge. By such higher
demand, the drive may get over loaded.
By working at high discharge, the NPSIlr demanded by the pump would be higher. If
NPSHa is not adequate for this higher NPSHr, the pump may cavitate.
Due to the high discharge included,
serious damage to the shaft and bearings.

Meters often go out of order, requiring frequent removal, repairs and reinstallation;
and hence accurate measurement of water is not possible;
Large skilled staff is required for installations, repairs, testing, reading and billing;
Fixing of a meter reduces pressure;
Where unfiltered supply is made, meters often choke, requiring frequent cleaning;
Where water supply is intermittent, meters' may record more reading than the
actual consumption of water;
During temporary absence of meter (when removed for repairs or testing) or when
it is not in working order, billing on the basis of average consumption in the past,
is often disputed by consumers and this situation affects recovery of bill.
For the above reasons, universal metering of water is not being practised. Generally only
bulk consumers, like industries, institutions, commercial establishments and large premises
like co-operative housing societies, etc. are metered, where as individual domestic consumers
are charged on the basis of either flat rates depending upon the size of connections or as
percentage of rateable value of a property served.
From the foregoing paragraphs it will be clear that selection of a suitable tariff structure
needs consideration of aspects such as income distributions, the possible mi." of service
levels and the systems of charging. In short the social objectives and systems constraints
would influence the tariff structure. Generally the tariff structure should aim at:
Collecting target revenue;
Sharing out the burden fairly between users of different Income groups (by
providing different levels of services); and
Administrative simplicity and efficiency.
To these aims must be added the one for influencing consumer behavior. In other words
pricing policy must be such that it would induce consumers to economise use of water.
Considered from this angle, charging on the basis of rateable value of a property or collective
metering of an apaltment block are the systems which provide little incentive to economise
on use of water.
Annual burden imposed by a water supply scheme consists of two components, viz.,
Fixed charges comprising debt servicing and such staff and minimum maintenance
charges as are necessary to be incurred.
Variable charges comprising power, chemicals and raw water bills which are
proportional to the quantity of water produced.
When a facility like a water supply scheme is constructed and services are made available
to a community, it imposes financial burden as stated above. On account of the services
made available the property value goes up. Therefore, it is justifiable for a local body to levy
524
2962 UA&EI97-36B
betterment tax on all premises and properties which can avail of the services though the
facility may not be actually used by such premises and properties. Such a betterment tax
could be related to the fixed charge component of the financial burden caused by the
scheme.
recovery of variable charges, rates based on consumption of water may be charged
and these rates can be different for various categories and slabs of consumption. 'lbese
charges would be payable by only those who actually consume water.
Authorities such as water supply boards generally do not own water works. The functions
of these boards are generally restricted to planning, designing and constructing facilities on
behalf of local bodies and then to transfer the works to the owners who have the
responsibiliry to operate the works and also to collect water charges. The boards receive only
the agency charges to cover the cost of their establishment, these agency charges being
treated as a part of the capital cost of work, planned and constructed by the boards.
There are, however, a few boards, who besides carrying out the functions of planning,
designing and execution of works also own water works. These boards operate the water
works and also collect water charges directly from the consumers they serve.
While concluding, it is to be stated that a water supply system has to be created since it is
essentially required for sustenance bf life. It may be initially uneconomical but the water
supply project may be evaluated on social cost-benefit analysis method. It is difficult to
quantify the social benefits and relate them to the capital cost. The following factors which
are likely to get developmental impetus due to creation of water supply system and
incidentally a waste water disposal system should be identified:
Industrial and agricultural development;
Improvement in living habits, health and hygiene; and
Increased productivity.
Water supply being a community service, the economical analysis and the financial
analysis should be done prudently and judiciously.

CHAPTER 18
LEGAL ASPECTS
18.1 GENERAL
In India, laws related to use of water date back to the period when the CODE OF
MANU was prescribed, over 3000
\Vatcr was considered public property, subject
to public administration, several penalties were prescribed for unauthorised use and for
causing harm to water holding sttuctures
for causing pollution of water. Upstream
pomts along a river were reserved for
of drinking water and in-situ uses of water such
as washing clothes, bathing etc., were
only at the downstream.
The establishment of priorities in
several users for the same purpose is one
(iii)
Administrative disposition
526
Under this system there arc two operating doctrines, viz. (i) Natural flow D()ctrmc, and
(ii) Reasonable use Doctrine.
When a non- riparian or excessive use has been made continuously and adversely
for the period of the status oflimitations,
(ii)
Wben prescriptive rights to the use of water have been acquired for sucb adverse
use,
(iii)
\Vhen the legal doctrine known as "estopple" is operative [e,g, when a riparian has
permitted a non-nparian to construct a dam on his land at great expenses he is
"estopped" (prevented) from revoking the license and destroying the value of the
irrigated non-riparian land],
(iv)
(v)
\\/hen a public or quasi-public agency needs water, it has the power to take it as
long as it pays just compensation for the use it causes. (Any government authority,
has this "right of eminent domain", and quasi-governmental bodies such a Water
Supply Boards, may be given a similar power by grant from the state that creates
them.)
That beneficial use of water and not land ownership gives the basis of the right to
use water; and
(ii)
That priority of use and not equality of right is the basis of the division of water
between appropriators when there is not enough for alL
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
528
Once the appropriation has been established, prior appropriator has the right to exclusive
use of the amount of water of his appropriation and all subsequent junior users take subject
to his right. The appropriation may be obtained only for beneficial uses, which include
domestic, agricultural and industrial uses. It lasts as long as water is beneficially used and is
limited to the amount that can be so used.
18.2.2.5 Preferences
Preferences are exceptions to the rule of priority. A preference allocates the water to what
has been legislatively deemed to be a higher or better use regardless of the time of initiations
of use. There is wide variation as to what uses shall be preferred. There is general agreement
that man's personal needs come first so that domestic and municipal water supply head every
list. A true preference exists when a junior right to a preferred use is placed at the top of the
priority list, so that in times when water is short, senior non-preferred rights are cut-off
while the preferred uses still draw water. Stated another way, a true preference exists when
the preferred use may be initiated without regard to the fact that the supply is already fully
appropriated for other purposes. The authorities have to prefer some uses over others when
several applications for appropriation of water are pending and the available water is
insufficient for all. These preferences should go first for domestic and municipal water
supply, then to agriculture, then to power.
529
administrative authorisation system has become the main feature of the water codes of new
countries, such as IsraeL These systems envisage authorisation by government for using any
water declared public. Usually two kinds of authot~sation are given:
(i)
(ii)
A concession which sets up reciprocal rights and obligations between granter and
grantee.
+ Drinking
+ Irrigation
+ Hydro-power
N avib:ration
drinking water needs of human beings and animals should be the first charge on any
available water.
In order to provide for use and control by the state, the water of all rivers and streams
flowing in natural channels and of all lakes, and to that end to amend and consolidate the
existing laws relating to irrigation and drainage and assessment and levy of water rates and
betterment contributions, a Model Canal Irrigation and Drainage Bill is being forn1ulated by
Union Government for the guidance of the States.
532
Every existing user of ground water in the notified area, shall apply to the Ground
Water Authority for the grant of a certificate of registration recognising his existing
use in such forms and in such manner as may be prescribed.
No person shall himself or by any person on his behalf, carry on the business of
sinking wells or any other activity connected with the sinking of wells in any notified
area except under and in accordance with a licence granted in this behalf
Any person desiring to carry on the business of sinking of wells in the notified area
may make an application to the Ground Water Authority for the purpose.
The Ground Water Authority or any person authorised by it in writing in this behalf
shall have power to enter on any property with the right to investigate and make any
measurements concerning the land or the water located on the surface or
underground, inspect the well, sunk or being sunk, take specimens of such solid, or
other materials or of water extracted from such wells, and obtain such information
and record as may be required.
Any user of ground water who contravenes or fails to comply with any of the
provision of the Act, will be penalised and/or punished according to the provision of
the Act.
volume and quality of waste water in terms of concentration of various pollutants, which can
be permitted for discharge in the environment. In 1986, the Union Government enacted the
Environment (protection) Act, 1986, for protection and improvement of environment, and
the prevenrion of hazards to human beings, other living creatures, plants and properties. The
Act empowers the Union Government to make rules providing standards in excess of which
environmental pollutants shall not be discharged or emitted inthe environment.

Negative values are not included in 2: (D-Q) until the beginning of dry period i.e. until
water is lost from storage and there is room to store incoming flows. 'nle surplus
preceding the dry period, however, must equal or exceed the preceding maximum
deficiency; otherwise the reservoir will not be full at the beginning of dry period. 'DIe
cnmulative suq)Ius, calculated backwards from the beginning of dry period, is shown in
brackets in column 6 and is seen to exceed 124 mL/sq km of catchment area. 1be
cnmulative 11m-off curve 'B' has been drawn as shown in the figure.
The cumulative draft Iille fol' the area under consideration is also plotted in the same scale
Qine A) assuming constant draft of 23 mL/sq km of catchment area for a month of 30.4 days. The
slope of line 'ii' indicates the rate of draft.
The maximum deficit of run off from the draft is obtained by dtawing a straight line parallel to
the cumulative draft curve at the crest and through the cumulative run-off curve tangentially. The
vertical ordinate length intercepted between two such parallel lines tangential to the crest and trough
the maximum deficit for the period between the points of intersection of the parallel line with
the mass curve. The maximum cumulative deficiency as observed from the mass cnrve (which could
also be detemlined analytically as shown in the table) is 124 mL! sq km of catchment area. For the
constallt rate of draft of 23 mL/s,! km of catchment area for a month of 30.4 days and for this cycle
of runoff values, the impounded stOtab", needed is for (124/23)x 30.4 i.e 165 days (almost half a
year).

supplied with a special gas diffuser or silver tube and attached to a hydrant or other opening by
means of specially plugged valve, After the

thoroughly flushed, the entire valve is
partly shut to bring water pressure below 1,70 Kg/ cm2,
At the hydrant or opening where the water is discharged, the flow rate is measured to

To ensure that the chlorine concentration remains at 10 mg/I throughout the period of contact,
the strength of the injected solution should be at least twice as high, A table below shows the
