1 In a town it has been decided to provide 112 lpcd water to people.

Estimate the domestic


water requirements of this town in the year 2030 AD by projecting the population of the
town by the arithmetic increase method, geometrical increase method and incremental
increase method for the following data:

Census year 1940 1950 1960 1970 1970


population 250000 480500 550300 638600 695200

Here:

5. The analysis of water showed the following results in mg/l:

Ca = 65; Mg = 35; Na = 101; K = 21.5; HCO3 = 248; SO4 = 221.8

Find the total hardness, carbonate hardness and non-carbonate hardness.

Soln: Solution: 

Total hardness in mg/l as CaCO3 =

Eqv.wt.of CaCO3
Ca ++ (mg/l) * + Mg++ (mg/l) *
Eqv.wt.of Ca++
Eqv.wt.ofCaCO3
Eqv.wt.of M g++

=65*(50/20)+35*(50/12.2)

=305.94mg/l

Alkalinity due to HCO⁻₃ CaCO3(mg/l) = Total alkalinity as HCO⁻₃(mg/l) *


Eqv.wt.ofCaCO3
Eqv.wt.of HCO ⁻₃

=248*(50/61)

=203.28mg/l

Here, Total hardness > Alkalinity (i.e. 305.94.52 > 203.28)

So, Carbonate hardness = Alkalinity

= 203.28 mg/l

Then, Non-carbonate hardness = Total hardness – Carbonate hardness

= 305.94 – 203.28 = 102.66 mg/l


6)Water is conveyed through a CI main from an impounding reservoir at distance of 18 km

to a service reservoir of a town under a head of 120 m. The quantity delivered is 50 million

litre per day. It is subsequently decided to increase the flow by 50 % and for this to lay an

additional pipeline of the same diameter as the first one for a part of the length running

parallel and cross connected with it. Calculate (a) the size of the main (b) length of the

additional pipeline to be laid. Use Hazen-William formula, take the value of C for the main

as 100 and head loss in cross connection as 1 m.

ans:

Initial discharge = 50 Mld = 0.579 cumec

7. A pump is to deliver water from an underground tank against a static head of 30m. The

suction pipe is 40 m long and is of 30 cm diameter. The delivery pipe is of 25 cm diameter,

1500 m long. The pump characteristics can be expressed as: 𝐻𝑝 = 100 − 6000𝑄2 Where, 𝐻𝑝 =
𝑝𝑢𝑚𝑝 ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑 𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑄 = 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑚3/𝑠 Calculate the head and the discharge of the
pump. Take value of C = 120.

Here:darcy weisbach formula for friction loss is

10.68* L Q 1.852
hf =
C 1.852 d 4.85

hence head loss in suction pipe is

10.68* 40 Q 1.852
hfs= =21.2 Q1.852
120 1.852 (30/100) 4.87

head loss in delivery pipe is

10.68* 150 0 Q1.852


hfd= =1932.19Q1.852
120 1.852 (25 /100) 4.87

static head hst=30m


so the total dynamic head H= hst+hl= hst+ hfd+ hfs

=30+ 21.2Q2+1932.19Q2

=30+1953.39 Q1.852
But this should be equal to pump head Hp

H=Hp

Or, 30+1953.39 Q1.852 =100-6000Q2

Or,6000Q2+1953.39 Q1.852 = 70

So Q=0.089cumecs

=89l/s

So Hp=100-6000Q2=100-6000(0.0890^2=52.38m

hfs =27.2Q2=27.2 (0.089)^2=0.22

hfd =2792.1Q2=2792.1(0.089)^2=22.16

so H=0.22+22.16+30=52.38m=Hp

13. Design pipeline AB and BC in the pipe network as shown in figure.

Discharge to be served, QAB =44lps

Discharge to be served, QBC=18lps

For pipe AB

Maximum permissible head loss, (hf)

RA,max

= RLA − RLB − Minimum water pressure

=180-154-1.5

=24.5
Using Hazen-William formula for determining minimum diameter of pipe

10.68* L Q 1.852
hf =
