  • h
    Write various forms of nitrogen present in sewage water. (i) What is the role of algae in aerobic pond? (j) Differentiate between attached growth and suspended growth system
Section BAttempt any three of the following: 10x3=30
  • a
    Discuss various factors that affect the water demand
  • b
    Differentiate between storage and service reservoirs. Explain unit operations
  • c
    (i) A sample of wastewater has an ultimate BOD of 2 80 mg/L and a 5 ‐day BOD at 20 0C of 240 mg/L. Calculate 20 ‐day BOD at 20 0C of this sample. (ii)A BOD 5 of waste water is determined to be 150 mg/l at 20º C. The k value is known to be 0.23 per day. What would be the BOD 8 if the test were run at 15ºC
  • d

Section CAttempt any one part of the following: 10x1=10
  • a
    Over the two periods, each of 20 years population of a town increased from 30000 to 170000 to 300000. Find (i) Saturation population, (ii) Coefficients of logistic equation, and (iii) Expected population in next 20 years
  • b
    What are gravity and pressure conduits? Why pressur e conduits are most commonly used for conveying water from distant sour ces to the town for supply?
  • a
    What are various methods of layout of distribution system? Explain any two and their advantages
  • b
    Write a note on distribution reservoirs. Where are these located ? How do you determine the storage capacity of balancing reservoir by mass curve method for 24 hours pumping?
