1.2 NEED FOR PROTECTED WATER
SUPPLY
Protected water supply means the supply of water
that is treated to remove the impurities and made
safe to public health. Water may be polluted by
physical and bacterial agents. Water is also good
carrier of disease causing germs. The causes of
outbreak of epidemics are traced to pollute water
and poor sanitation hospital are continued to be
flooded with the sick due to ignorance about health
continues to be profound.

The objectives of the community water supply
system are
To provide whole some water to the consumers for drinking
purpose.
To supply adequate quantity to meet at least the minimum needs of
the individuals.
To make adequate provisions for emergencies like fire fighting,
festivals, meeting etc.
To make provision for future demands due to increase in
population, increase in standard of living, storage and conveyance.
To prevent pollution of water at source, storage and conveyance.
To maintain the treatment units and distribution system in good
condition with adequate staff and materials.
To design and maintain the system that is economical and reliable.

1.3 WHOLE SOME WATER
Absolutely pure water is never found in nature and
which contains only two parts of hydrogen and one
part of oxygen by volume. But the water found in
nature contains number of impurities in varying
amounts.
The following are the requirements of wholesome
water.
1. It should be free from bacteria
2. It should be colourless and sparkling
3. It should be tasty, odour free and cool
4. It should be free from objectionable matter
5. It should not carrode pipes
6. It should have dissolved oxygen and free from carbonic acid so
that it may remain fresh

2.QUANTITY OF WATER
Introduction
In the design of any water work projects, it is necessary
to estimate the amount of water that is required. This
involves:-
Climatic condition
The quantity of water required in hotter and dry
places is more due to use sprinkling of water in
garden, washing of clothes and bathing.
Factors Affecting Water Demand
The per capita demand of the town increase with the standard
of living of the people. The people will start using room coolers,
use of flush latrines, use of automatic dish washing and others.
Large amount of water uses in summer season, and lesser user in winter.
2.Design Period and Population
Forecasting
2.1 Design period
The number of years for which the designs of water
works have been done is known as design period.
These period should neither be too short or too
long.
Mostly water works are designed for design period
of 20 – 30 years.
Factor, which should be kept in view
while fixing the design period:
Fund
The life of the material used in project
(pipes, structural materials )
Anticipated expansion of the town
The rate of interest on the loan taken
2.2 Population Forecasting
When the design period is fixed the next step is to
determine the population in various periods, because the
population of the towns generally goes on increasing.

Population forecasting
Population forecasting
◦ By integrating both sides the above equation:
Pn – Po = C (tn – t0 )
Such that;
Pn = P o+ C n
Where; Pn -is population after n decade
Po -is present population
n -is number of years in decade
C - constant
This method is generally applicable to a large and old
city.
Population forecasting
o Geometrical increase method
In this method it is assumed that the percentage increase in
population from decade to decade remains constant.
If the present population is Po and average percentage growth is k,
the population at the end of n decade will be:
P1 = Po + KPo = Po (1 + k)
P2 = p1 + kp1 = p1 (1 + k) = po (1 + k) (1 + k) = po (1+k)2
P3 = p2+ kp2 = p2 (1 + k) = po (1 + k) (1 + k) (1 + k) = p o (1+k)3
