Collection Systems

The collection systems form a part of sanitary engineering, which is a sub-branch of civil engineering. It is also known as public health engineering and wastewater engineering. It is a methodology followed to remove and properly dispose of human waste, along with creating systems to provide safe and clean usable water. These measures ensure a hygienic and disease-free community. Sanitary engineering, apart from building sewer disposal units, is also involved in plumbing, fire protection, hydraulics, life safety, environmental protection, information technology, microbiology, pathology, and so on.

Question

A sandy aquifer which underlies saturated stiff clay is under artesian water pressure.Water in the exploratory drill hole rose to a height of 9 meters. An open excavation was made in the saturated stiff clay for a landfill which lies above the sandy aquifer.Assuming the factor of safety is 1.5. What will be thickness of the stiff clay layer from the bottom of the excavation to the top of the sandy aquifer to ensure that the bottom of the excavation will not heave?(The unit weight of clay layer is 18.5KN/m3
A small industrial plant discharges wastewater into a stream. The plant discharge has a flow rate of 0.2 m3/s and a BODu concentration of 40 mg/L. The stream receiving the discharge has a flow rate of 1.3 m3/s and a BODu of 6 mg/L. Downstream of the discharge point, the velocity in the stream is 0.15 m/s. Assuming no other sources of BOD enter the stream, what is the BODu remaining in the stream 10 km downstream of the plant discharge? Use k = 0.23 day-1.

7. (Mass balance, A river with 400 mg/L of salts (a conservative substance) and an upstream flow of 25.0 m³/s receives an agricultural discharge of 5.0 m³/s carrying 2,000 mg/L of salts. The salts quickly become uniformly distributed in the river. A municipality just downstream withdraws water and mixes it with enough pure water (no salt) from another source to deliver water having no more than 500 mg/L salts to its customers. What should be the flowrate mixture ratio F of pure water to river water?

Plateau Creek in Colorado carries 10 m3/s of water with a Selenium (Se) concentration of 0.003 mg/L. A farmer starts withdrawing 2 m3/s of the creek water to irrigate his land. During irrigation, the water picks up Se from the salts in the soil. One third of the irrigation water is lostto the ground and plants, and the other two-thirds is returned back to Plateau Creek. The irrigation run-off back to the creek contains 1.5 mg/L Se. Se is a conservative, non-reactive substance, and the stream does not pick up more Se from any other source. If the farmer irrigatescontinuously, what will be the steady-state concentration of Se in Plateau Creek, downstream from the farm (after the irrigation run-off returns to the Creek)?
