1. INTRODUCTION

This report is a short description of my one month internship of my programme

which is carried out as a part of MAKAUT university syllabus. Since I was
interested in Public health related things, I concentrated in ‘Water Treatment’. I
have done my internship programme in Chakdaha Water Treatment Plant which
comes under the Public Health Engineering of Nadia District. At the beginning of
my internship I have formulated several learning goals. I tried my best to achieve it
during this period.

This internship report contains many activities which I have

done during this period. In the following pages I have described about the
experiences, objectives, methodology and the goals that I achieved. Finally I gave
a conclusion on the internship experience according to my goals. The data I
collected during this period was also included in this report.
 During this period, I cooperate with my colleagues and faculties
and our respected training mentors to determine the problems. I carried out a
detailed study on the importance of water and water treatment in Nadia. Since
population is increasing day by day and drinking water crisis becomes a major
social issue, it is very good to concentrate in such a field. The water Treatment
Plant is a government Treatment plant. We are very much fortunate to have Mr.
Siddhartha Halder (JE, PHE nadia) and Mr. Ranit Roy (CHPHE, BPMU, Nadia) as our
training mentor who have a great experience on this field. It was a great
opportunity for me to guide by them. This internship helped me to learn
independently, discipline myself, to be patient, self-trust, take initiative and the
ability to analyse Water Treatment.

2. OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of this study was to learn about the Treatment of water.
Along with that, I have decided to carry a detailed study on the treatment process
of water. I have formulated several learning goals before I started my internship.
They are;
• To understand about water quality parameters and standards
• To learn how to test water based on these parameters
• To discuss on water quality related issues in Nadia
• To understand the treatment process of surface water
• To get experience in working in a quite different field
• To enhance my communication skill
• To achieve a professional experience
• To build a network

3. ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH ENGINEERING, WEST BENGAL

 Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) was created as an independent
full-fledged department in 1987. Earlier Health and family Welfare department of
the state Government had a public health engineering wing. As per rules of
Business of the state Government, Public Health Engineering Department controls
the Water supply & Sanitation Budget of the State Government and undertakes
programmes of implementation of water supply services mainly its Public Health
Engineering Directorate under its administrative controls. Therefore, main
activities of PHED are related to rural water supply and urban water supply in few
limited areas of the state.

PHED also has a largest Network of 217 water testing laboratories in

the country which are spread among all the district of West Bengal. Every year
more than 7 lakh samples are tested for Physical, Chemical and Bacteriological
imports and immediate action is taken for remedy of any water quality related
issue.

vision :
The main function of PHE Department within the jurisdiction of rural local
Bodies is supply of safe drinking water based on Ground water / Surface water /
sub-surface water / Based on other sources.

MISSION:
• States/UTs is planning of participatory rural supply strategy for ensuring
potable drinking water security on long term basis to every rural household
and public institution, viz. GP building, school, Anganwadi centre, Health
centre etc.

• States/UTs to plan for their drinking water security.

 • GPs/rural communities to plan, implement, manage, own, operate and
maintain their own in-village water supply system.

4. INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES

• Week – 1 (July , 2023) :

• The internship programme was started with an introduction class which

was held on 03 july, 2023 at 11.00 am in the lab room of Chakdah Water
Treatment Plant. The class was conducted by Mr. Siddhartha Halder (JE,
PHE Nadia) and Mr. Ranit Roy (CHPHE , BPMU, Nadia). The need of water
treatment, the role of engineers and the need of the internship
programme etc. were discussed in the class. On the 1st day we came to
know about why surface WTP is required, the Chakdah Water Treatment
Plant , and the areas where it provide the water etc.
• Features of WTP Palagaccha, chakdah –

• Command Area – The southern part of Nadia District

• Number of Mouzas – Rural : 114 Nos , CT Urban : 1 Nos
• Number of Habitations – 191 Nos (Rural)
• Census Population(2001) - 3,38,687
• Design Population(2028) - 5,15,999
• Command Area – 22611.7 Hectors
• Number of Zone /OHR - 13 Nos
• Per Capita service Level – 55lpcd
• Daily Raw Water Demand – 32.74 MLD
 • Daily Clear Water Demand – 31.10 MLD
• Net Water Demand – 27.99 MLD
• Source of Water – Surface water of River Hoogly
• Location of Intake – Near Mukundapur Ghat in Parniamatpur Mouza,
Ranaghat-1
• Treatment Plant Capacity – 32.74 MLD (7.20 MGD)
• Proposed Treatment – Conventional treatment

• Water Treatment Process ;

ꙮ INTAKE POINT : A structure placed in a water source to permit the

withdrawal of water from the source and discharge it into an intake conduit
through which it flows to the treatment plant is called the intake. For
palagaccha water treatment plant the intake point is near the Mukundapur
Ghat in parniamatpur mouza, Ranaghat-1 Block, Nadia. Which is on the
surface of Hoogly river.

The Factors that are considered when selecting location of Intake –

• The availability of water
• The quality of the water
• The accessibility of the site
• The cost of the site
 Fig(1) : Intake point, Mukundapur, Ranaghat-1

ꙮ INTAKE WELL : Intake well structures are used for collecting water from the
surface sources such as river, lake, and reservoir and conveying it further to the
water treatment plant. These structures are masonry or concrete structures and
provides relatively clean water , free from pollution, sand and objectionable
floating material.
Here are some of the benefits of using intake wells :
• They help to protect the water from contamination
• They can provide a constant supply of water to the treatment plant
• They are relatively easy to maintain
fig(3): Alum mixing
 fig(2): Intake well

fig(4): Intake well

ꙮALUM MIXING CHAMBER & MIXING POINT:

• Alum mixing chamber is a tank or basin where alum is mixed with the raw
water . The purpose of the alum mixing chamber is to rapidly mix with the
raw water that it can react with the suspended particles in the water.
• Mixing Point is the location in a chamber where the alum solution is mixed
with the raw water by the concept off Venturi Meter. The mixing of the
alum solution with the water where the coagulant will react with the water.
fig(5): Alum Mixing Chamber

Fig(6) : Alum Mixing Point

ꙮCLARIFLOCCULATOR(CFL): Clariflocculator is a combination of flocculation and
clarification in a single tank. It has two concentric tanks where inner tank serves as
a flocculation basin and the outer tank serves as a clarifier.
In the Clariflocculator , the water enters the flocculator , where the
flocculation paddles enhance flocculation of the feed solids. As heavy particles
settle to the bottom , the liquid flows radially upward in the clarifier zone. The
deposited sludge is raked to the bottom near the central weir from where it is
routed to the sludge chamber and discharged.
Clariflocculators offer several advantages :
• Reduce space requirements
• Lower operating costs
• Improved efficiency
 Fig(7) : Clariflocculator

ꙮRAPID SAND FILTER: Rapid Sand Filters consists of a tank or basin containing
the filter media with a gravel support at the base, an underdrain system to collect
filtered water, Rapid sand filters mainly remove particles from the water using
physical processes , the most important of which is adsorption , through
sedimentation and straining also play a role. Rapid sand filter requires
backwashing.

Rapid sand
Filtration , in contrast to slow sand filtration , is a purely physical treatment
process. As the water flows through several layers of coarse- grained sand and
gravel, relatively large particles are held back safely. However it never provide safe
drinking water with adequate pre-treatment and final disinfection

fig(8) : Rapid Sand Filter

ꙮCLEAR WATER RESERVOIR: Clear water reservoir is a water retaining structure
which is used to store clear from treatment plant . Clear water reservoir should
always be closed structure , design to prevent contamination through ingress of
surface or ground water.

The clear water reservoir is typically made of concrete or steel and always be
closed for resistance to corrosion and chemicals. The tank is equipped with
• Aeration system to add oxygen to the water
• Mixing system to keep the water circulation
• Sampling ports to allow for water quality testing
• Disinfection system to kill any remaining microorganisms.

Fig(9) : Clear water Reservoir

ꙮLagoon pond: A Wastewater treatment lagoon is an earthen pond where
wastewater is treated via natural and biochemical process.
The wastewater (with suspended solids) from clariflocculator passes
into the lagoon by drainage system. It is an orthodox disposal method in which the
residue slurry is pumped directly into the land-based ponds.

• WATER QUALITY TESTS: List of basic water quality parameters:

Requirement Permissible Limit

S.no Characteristic Unit (Acceptable Limit) in the absence of
alternate sources
1 pH value - 6.5-8.5 No relaxation
2 Total dissolved Mg/lit 500 2000
solids
3 Turbidity NTU 1 5
4 Chloride Mg/lit 250 1000
5 Total alkalinity Mg/lit 200 600
6 Total hardness Mg/lit 200 600
7 Sulphate Mg/lit 200 400
8 Iron Mg/lit 0.3 No relaxation
9 Total arsenic Mg/lit 0.01 No relaxation
10 Nitrate Mg/lit 45 No relaxation
Tests done in Chakdah water treatment plant:
Aim of water testing: To meet regularity requirements and adhere to the safety
procedures that are needed for pollutant-free water.
• Jar test:
Aim: to estimate the minimum coagulant dose required to achieve certain
water quality goals.
Result : 1st jar(10 ppm)- 2.21NTU
2nd jar(15 ppm)- 3.88 NTU
3rd jar(20 ppm)- 3.73 NTU
So the resultant value is 2.21NTU.

• CHLORINE TEST:
Aim: to ensure that water is free of harmful bacteria.
Procedure: add 3-4 drops of water in 5 ml raw water. The colour change to
yellow by the presence of total chlorine. Then measure the value by
spectrophotometer.
The resultant value is 1.206 Mg/lit.

hence , the water is safe to drink.

• IRON TEST:
Aim: to ensure that the water is free from fe^3+ ions
Procedure: 3 to 4 drops Fe in 5 ml ground water and clear water from clear water
reservoir to check the iron in the sample water. This test is done by the
Spectrophotometer.
The resultant value is 0.0007 Mg/lit for clear water and 0.0953 Mg/lit for ground
water.
Conclusion: the resultant value of our iron test is less than the permissible value
of iron in drinking water which is 0.3mg/l. hence the water is safe to drink.

• Turbidity test:
Aim: to reduce the suspended sediments from water.
The turbidity test is done by the Turbidity Meter. we find in raw water the
turbidity is 250-150 ppm.
After treatment the turbidity find that 0.5 NTU. Which is less than the
permissible limit 1 NTU. Hence, the water is safe for drink.

 2 . WEEK – 2 (July,2023):

(i). In the 2nd week we visited the construction site of palagaccha, chakdah water
treatment plant . There RCC Slab is prepared for casting.
The casting of RCC slab comprises of following three steps:
• Reinforcement.
• Concreting
• Curing
Here we mainly saw the arrangements of reinforcements. The reinforcements are:
• Dia of the stirrup is 8mm
• Dia of the tie bar is 10 mm
• Dia of the distribution bar and chair bar are 12 mm
• Dia of the main bar is 16 mm
• The spacing is 150mm
• The crank is 0.42D which is 75 mm
Here we find that the slab is a Two way slab.
All the guideline for casting a slab is followed by the code book IS 450:2000

• INTAKE VISIT: We visited the intake point for Chakdah palagaccha water
treatment plant which is at Mukundapur ghat, Ranaghat -1 block on the
surface of Hoogly river. There Mr. Asutosh Mukherjee sir guided us. We
came to know about the Intake point are as follows:
• Here mainly use 6 pumps for pumping the water
• Two out of three pumps work consistently
• Into the pump house Gantry Guarder is use for move the heavy equipment
• the Suction valves are used
• Capacity of the pump is:
Pump input 262.02 KW
Motor rating 325 KW
Discharge 1947 m3/hr
 Head 40.29 MT
• Electromechanical work is mainly done here
• Here mainly use circular columns because it’s section modulus is high. Pile
foundation is formed there. Dia of the columns are 1000-1200mm
• Here we came to know about the Segregation failure which is create
because of when the water cement ratio is high. And when Honeycomb is
create then use Plasticiser for reduce Honey comb (0.2%)
• The Automatic Electro gear feature available for Gear machine. A channel
section is use in the below of the transformer to connect each other (160
KV) and visited the LT panel.
• We visited the Power room. the machine take 6600V and give 33KV. There
are two Marshalling box.
• ENGO system is done for the earthing system

• WEEK- 3 (July,2023):

• OVER HEAD RESERVOIR: Over head reservoir is a over head water

storage tank which is placed over the head that is built on a certain
height. The tank may be built of any material but the idea is to achieve
maximum efficiency by placing a tank is some elevated distance. The
water from the ground level is filled inside the tank through pumping. It
is achieved with the high power motor pumps that send the water to
storage with high pressure. The main purpose is to achieve an even
distribution and it maintains constant pressure and flows, at the time of
discharge when the water comes down from a certain height it has a
sufficient increase in pressure that makes it serves at a constant rate in
almost every outlet.

ꙮ Application: there are mainly two applications of a OHR-

• Domestic purpose
• Commercial purpose

ꙮ Maintenance: Following a few simple maintenance of a OHR-

• Clean the tank regularly
• Empty and Scrub the tank
• Disinfect the Tank and pipes
• Empty the Tank and Leave it for Drying
• Refill the Tank and Use it
ꙮ To build a OHR the following steps are follows:
• 1st done a Layout
• Then the Excavation process is done
• Then the Sand filling
• BFS is done next
• The next step is fill up with PCC with a ratio of 1:2:4 (M15)
• Next is rode binding for Footing
• After that the shuttering process is done
• Next work is Casting
• Then curing for footing
• Next level is Pedestal rod binding then shuttering up to GL 500mm
• Then pedestal casting
• Then cast Tie beam (350mm)
• Column casting (Bracing to bracing then Heel beam)
• Casting of bracing
• Then Heel beam and dome cast. This two are a monolithic structure.
• Last the pipe line is attached with the OHR.
Fig(20) : OHR
 • VISIT TO AIIMS WATER TREATMENT PLANT:
ꙮ The process of the treatment plant is :
• Raw water came into the intake well from the intake point
• Then pre chlorination done into the intake well
• Then alum is mixed with the water
• Then the water with alum and chlorine is passes through the Flash mixture
• Then it goes into the Flocculation zone
• After that it flow into the detention zone
• Then in to the clarifier
• Then the water passes into the filter bed for filtration
• Next into the post chlorination zone
• At the last stage it passes into the Clear Water Reservoir
The clear water then ready for distribution.
ꙮ We saw that in the sludge zone a air blower works to remove the sludge and it
goes into the sludge pond.
ꙮ The recirculation is done for the Bed Wash.
ꙮ The pressure of the sludge pump is 1.8 BAR
ꙮ Here we came to know about SCADA system. Which is a automation system
mainly done for the treatment process. From a room by the SCADA software all
the above process can be done. But there is also a manual and a machinery
system also.
ꙮThe capacity of the treatment plant is 23.33 MLD

(iii) TENDER:-
A tender can be said as an offer to do work or supply of goods at a fixed
price initiating step of a rendering process in which qualified contractors are
invited to submit sealed bids for construction or for the supply of specific and
clearly defined goods or services during a specified time frame. As noted above, a
tender is a term used in business to refer to an invitation by governments and other
entities to submit a bid for contracts. Most institutions have a well-defined tender
process for projects or procurements. In other words, tender usually refers to the
process whereby government and financial institutions invite bids for large projects
that must be submitted within a finite deadline. A request for tender is a formal and
structured invitation to suppliers to submit competitive bids to supply raw material
products and services.

In e-Tender the Estimate process is done 1st . the estimation is like

• Total cost of civil work

• Then 18% GST (9% CGST & 9% SGST) is added with the total civil work

• Then 1% CESS is added

• Then add riverine charge (if required)(22.5%)

• Then for Building construction for plumbing and electric charge 3-15%

• Then Contingency charge 3%

ꙮ e-Tender always should be Two cover-

• Financial Bid (Dongle used respect to an authorised person who is not a

technical person)

• Technical Bid (only a Technical person like a Engineer)

ꙮThe Technical bid is opened 1st then the Technical bid is opened.
 ꙮ e-Tender has Two parts-

• BOQ ( in exel file)

• SOQ ( in pdf file)

*The Financial Bid permit to open BOQ

ꙮThe Tender should have the following heading-

Earnest
Money [2% of Cost of
Estimated the estimated Tender Completion
Sl. .No Name of the work
Cost (Rs.) amount put documents Time (Days)
to Tender] (Rs.)
(Rs.)

The Purpose of a Tender Document

• A tender document is a formal document that is used to solicit bids from

potential contractors or suppliers. The purpose of a tender document is to
provide potential bidders with all of the information that they need in order to
prepare a bid for the project. The tender document will typically include
information on the scope of work, the timeline for the project, and the budget.

• The goal of the tender process is to ensure that all potential bidders have a fair
opportunity to submit a bid for the project. The use of a tender document helps
 to level the playing field so that small businesses and minority-owned
businesses have a chance to compete for government contracts.

• The contents of a tender document can vary depending on the type of project.
For example, a construction project will require different information than an
IT services contract. In general, however, most tender documents will include:

An overview of the project

The project requirements-The evaluation criteria
Instructions for submitting a bid
The deadline for submissions
Budget information

Documents are required for tendering in construction

Documents required for tendering in construction vary depending on the type of

construction project. For example, a general contractor may require a bid package,
while a subcontractor may only need proof of insurance. Regardless of the
document requirements, always submit all the necessary documents properly. To
tender in construction, contractors must submit a tendering package with the
required documents. Below is a list of the most common required documents for
tendering in construction:

• The contract number

 • The name of the contractor
• Project Management Plan
• Specification of Work
• Bid Documents
• Contract Specifications
• Quality Assurance Plan
• The contact details for the contractor
• A brief description of the project
• A list of materials and equipment required for the project
• The estimated cost of the project
• Contractor Registration Form
• Proof of Insurance
• Tax Clearance Certificate
• Labour Documentation Forms
• Bonded Warehouse Receipt
• Construction Site Plan
• Specifications: Include details about the project, such as colours, materials,
and dimensions.
• Bid documents: Include information about your company, such as license
status and financials.
• Purchase orders: Indicate how much you plan to spend and when you’ll
deposit funds.
• Engineering drawings: Detail how the project will be built, including
measurements and diagrams.
Copies of all past contracts or agreements with clients or vendors involved in the
construction project. This will help demonstrate your level of experience and
knowledge in this field.
The tendering process involves selecting a contractor to carry out a
construction project.

1. The client, usually the construction company, will create an estimate for the
work to be carried out.

2. The contractor who bids the lowest price will be awarded the contract.

3. Once the contractor has been awarded the contract, they will need to start
preparations for starting work. This may include appointing subcontractors and
obtaining necessary permits from authorities.

4. Construction work may commence at any time but is usually planned in phases
to minimize disruption to residents and businesses.

The selection process can be divided into two parts: Expression of Interest (EOI)
and Pre-qualification. EOI is a short presentation of the contractor’s capabilities
and must include price, schedule, quality, and delivery information. The contractor
with the best overall EOI score is then pre-qualified.

For a Contractor, Here are the tendering process steps;

• Research the company or organization that you want to tender for.

2. Determine what type of tender process you will use. There are three types
of tender methods- sealed bid, competitive tendering, and qualified tenders.
3. Access the company’s tender documents. These are typically available on
the company’s website or from its tendering authority.
 4. Prepare a brief description of your services and how they can benefit the
company.
5. Create a budget for your tender and make sure this is realistic and reflects
the quality of your services.
6. Submit your tender documents to the tendering authority. This will
typically be a government body such as a municipality or enterprise board.
7. Wait for a response from the authority, which will either be an acceptance
or rejection of your tender document.
8. If your tender is accepted, prepare to start work on behalf of the company.

5.CONCLUSION

This internship was a great experience for me. I have gained new knowledge, skill
and met many people. I achieved several of my goals. Our mentors and PHE
department helped me a lot.
I studied about the major water quality issues in Nadia district in West
Bengal and carried out a detailed discussion with Mr. Siddhartha Halder (JE, PHE,
Nadia) and Mr. Ranit Roy (CHPHE, BPMU, Nadia). They gave me vast information
on water quality treatments and quality parameter and standers. The moment I
spent with them provided a lot of benefits. The experiences shared by them was
great and their each and every words were lessons for us. It helped me to improve
our knowledge.

The main benefit of the internship was that I have gained an expensive
amount of knowledge on Water Treatment Plant. The internship also provided me
a chance to visit several laboratories where the parameters of water qualities are
checked. It was a very wonderful experience for me.

I tried to improve my communication skills and to build a network.

From this 21 days internship programme, I understood about the importance of
water, the treatment process of surface water, its testing process, well
maintenance and proper sanitation and sure that it will benefit me in future.

I am very much thankful to Public Health Engineering Department,

Nadia for giving us, the students of Ideal Institute of Engineering college,
department of Civil engineering , this opportunity to gathered precious
knowledge on the Water Treatment Process which will benefit for us in future.
