Water contaminants fall into two general categories, chemical and biological. Describe each category.
What are disinfecting by-products (DBPs)? How are people exposed? What are the toxic effects?
Which of the emerging public health issues related to water do you believe will have the most impact on the future of safe drinking water?
The 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.
a)
Define 'Disinfection' and 'Sterilization' OR differentiate between them.
b)
Enlist the different methods of 'Disinfection' which method would you recommend for 'Municipal Water Supply' and WHY? 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".
