1. Enumerate and describe the different sources of potable water.
. Figure below 1.de corn in Zone a, potatoes in Zone B and sugar in Zone C are shownArea of Zone A is 3.18 km2, area of Zone B is 1.59 km2and the area of Zone C is 4.77 km2.Total monthly precipitation values for the relevant region in Mm Table 1. are also given. In the same time,water consumption values of plants grown in mm Table 2. is also shown.At the beginning of the 2020 water year, the ground is completely dry and the maximum humidity the ground can bear100mm, using only given information; from point I to 2020calculate the total flow volume during the water year in m3.
The length of water distribution system is 6000 ft, the peak velocity is 8.33 fps, the water temperature is 5 °C and pH is 7.5. If the free chlorine residual in the water distribution system is 0.5 mg/L, what is the log inactivation of viruses? (See the table on page 3).

- What are the types of precipitation?arrow_forwardProblem - 100 cm of precipitation fall each year on a 400 hectare farm. According to estimates, 20% of precipitation travels as runoff to the nearest watercourse and 40% of precipitation evaporates back into the atmosphere. The aquifer receives the remaining precipitation by percolation. All through the year, the aquifer is used to extract water for irrigation. Approximately 80% of the groundwater that is removed eventually evaporates. Determine how much groundwater recharge—measured in cubic meters—can be taken out annually for irrigation without dwindling the groundwater supply.arrow_forwardWells, ponds, rivers or springs are traditionally used for different purposes and they may not be operational all year. Some water sources are more reliable, convenient, or provide water that tastes better.Against the pretext:i) What technology choice is suitable for countries with one or two rainy seasons with an average annual rainfall ranging from 250 mm to 750 mm and where other improved water-supply systems are difficult to implement?ii).
