The water engineer aims at prevention contamination of water supplies at all times. In most small water supply systems, however, economic reasons prevent 24-hour daily water service. This creates a risk of polluted water infiltrating into the pipelines through leaks in pipe joints and service taps. How would the water engineer ensure that the pollution do not pose a health risk to domestic consumption? Give example of factors to consider when selecting the material for the pipe.?
A shit flow diagram (SFD) is a graphic that is used to understand and communicate how excreta physically flows through a city or town. SFDs track both wastewater (WW) and faecal sludge (FS). As a result, they can be used to track the environmental and health impact of sanitation in different communities, regardless of whether the said communities use sewer or non-sewer sanitation systems. Figure 1 (below) shows an SFD for a large town in Mpumalanga. Of particular interest, from the figure, are the FS and WW flows from three communities: CA, CB, and CC. Assuming that (i) at the “local level”, the bulk of faecal matter from CC is quickly incorporated into the soil and that (ii) the direction in which groundwater and surface water flows is from the locality of CC towards the Mfulamkhulu River, which community is likely to have the most impact on the physical and the microbiological quality of the Mfulamkhulu River?Please explain your choice using no more than five sentences.

Quite often diversification is the key to success of almost anything we do, and wastewater treatment is no exception. For the following influent wastewater stream identified below, describe an alternative natural wastewater treatment scheme that could be used to treat the wastewater where a combination of nature-based unit processes are use along with the necessary unit operations required for stream discharge. The discharge from the treatment system should have an average BOD5 and TSS less than or equal to 20 mg/L, the ammonia level less than 0.5 mg/L and a dissolved oxygen level greater than 2 mg/L (Texas typical discharge limits into a stream). Do not design the systems, but identify the treatment train (step 1>>step 2>>step 3, etc. where "step # identifies the treatment step, such as the PIP) and then briefly describe what is occurring within each step of your proposed treatment train. Flowrate 1x106 gpd BOD5…
Please help me answer the given question 1. You are an environmental engineer for one of the many local plants. That plant dischargeseffluents into a lake in a flourishing tourist area. Although all the plants are marginallyprofitable, they compete for the same customers. Your responsibilities are to monitor thewater and air discharges at your plant and the periodic reporting to Dept. of Anti-pollution.You have just prepared a report that indicates that the level of pollution in the Plant’s waterdischarges slightly exceed the legal limits. Your supervisor says you should regard the excessas a mere ‘technicality’, and he asks you to ‘adjust’ the data so that the data appears to be incompliance. He says that slight excess is not going to endanger human or fish life any morethan if the plant were actually in compliance. However he says, solving the problem wouldrequire a very heavy investment. He explains, “We can not afford new equipment. It mightcost even a few jobs. It will set us…
