Depending on the availability of 'Source of Water which 'Source' is more important than the other for disinfection and WHY? Give reason. c) of them is stronger than the other and by what percentage? Define or differentiate between “Free Available Chlorine" and “Combined Available Chlorine". Write their Chemical Formulae and mention which one d) Define “Break Point Chlorination". With the help of a neat Figure' show the "Break Point" and also show "Combined Available Chlorine", "Free Available Chlorine" and "Total Available Chlorine". Mention the “Dosage" in order to obtain a “Free Available Chlorine Residual" of about 0.5 mg/l or above. e) Define the term “Chlorine Demand" of water. What are the "Factors" OR enlist the "Factors" that show the "Effectiveness of Chlorine".arrow_forwardThe following is not an indication of a very low BOD except? A The water is healthy thus, water quality is high. B) Contamination is present. c) The available microorganisms are uninterested in consuming the available organics. The available microorganisms are dead or dying.arrow_forwardColiforms are commonly used as an indicator of drinking water quality. As we discussed, in March and April of 1993 there was a major outbreak of gastrointestinal illness in Milwaukee, Wisconsin caused by contamination in the public drinking water supply. As summarized by MacKenzie et al.1, “throughout the period from February to April 1993, samples of treated water from both (water treatment) plants were negative for coliforms and were within the limits set by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for water quality.” Why, in this case, did coliforms remain at acceptable levels despite water contamination that resulted in over 400,000 cases of gastrointestinal illness?arrow_forward
