Peak demand of water = 1.5 Average
hourly consumption of maximum day

Maximum daily demand

= 1.5

= 2.7 Annual average hourly demand.

2. (b)
Amount of chlorine used

= 0.2 mg/L
=

Chlorine demand = 15 5 = 10 kg/day
4. (b)
Jackson turbiditimeter can be used to
measure turbidities in range between 251000 mg/litre. So such turbiditimeter is
limited in application to measure the
turbidity of raw water of natural source only.
For treated supplies which has turbidity less
than 10 mg/litre, Baylis turbiditimeter is
used.
5. (d)
Average quantity of water required
= 200000 150
= 30 106 litres per day
= 30 MLD
Now, maximum demand
= 1.8 Avg. annual demand

Pills: They are nothing but a series of light
floating wooden or hollow rubber balls.
When such a ball is rolled into the sewer, it
gets struck up at the place where heavy
deposition has taken place. It, thus
constricts the passage thereby raising the
velocity of flow in its neighbouring area and
thus scouring out the deposited silt.
Drop Manholes: The manhole, in which a
vertical pipe is used is called a drop
manhole whereas, the one using an inclined
pipe is called a ramp.
Clean Outs: A clean out is an inclined pipe
extending from the ground and connected
to the under ground sewer. A cleanout is
used for cleaning sewer pipes.
Inverted Siphon: It is a sewer section
constructed lower than the adjacent sewer
sections, and it runs full under gravity with
pressure greater than the atmosphere.

Molarity of solution A = 10pH = 106.8 moles/litre
Concentration of H+ for solution A in 800 ml = 10 6.8

Similarly, concentration of H+ for solution B in 700 ml = 10 8.6

700
= 7 10 9.6 moles
1000

Concentration of H+ in 1.5 l of mixture = 8 10 7.8 + 7 10 9.6 moles = 511.77 109.6 moles

Concentration of H+ in 1 l of mixture = 341.18 109.6 moles = 3.412 107.6 moles
pH of mixture = log 3.412 107.6
= 7.6 0.533 = 7.07

This value must be multiplied by 10,

since surface water volume used are
10 times lesser then the standard
values.
MPN value is 540.
