Filtering water. -
- To prepare a 1% sterile solution, add 15 g dry calcium hypochlorite to 1 liter of water and
mix well.
Add 3 drops (0.6 ml) of the solution above for every 1 liter of water to be purified, ie, add 6
ml / 10 liters and add 60 ml / 100 liters.
Mix well and wait 10 minutes, then check water for residual chlorine or chlorine. .4
If the residual chlorine is less than 0.5 mg / L after 10 minutes or if you can’t smell the .5
chlorine, repeat step 3, ie, double the amount of the added solution.
If the remaining chlorine is at least 0.5 mg / L after 10 minutes or you can smell chlorine, .6
wait another 20 minutes before drinking
/4
3. Explain what is the free residual chlorine? Provide the standard FRC for treated
drinkable water.
It means the residual chlorine in treated water.
The chlorine in treated drinkable water must be between 0.2 to 0.6 mg/l.

4. You are requested by your manager to assess the feasibility of a water network
from a water point to a villages in a rural area. List what are the most important
information you will try to collect:
- Available water quantity and coverage needs.
- Census and daily requirement of water.
- Levels and slop of gridlines from feeding point to distribution points.
- The distance from feeding point to village.
- Approximate lengths of gridlines suggested.

III. Civil enginery (9 Points) (Please indicates the calculations made to find the result
when necessary)
1. Using the annex 1, calculate the linear charge losses in a plastic pipe 2 inch”
diameter (7.62 cm) assuming the following characteristics:
- Water flow (Q): 10 m3 / hours
 - Length: 2.5 km
Losses= 11.25m, Velocity=0.59m/sec

2. Using the annex 2, what pump needs to be used for this network assuming the
following characteristics and the charges losses calculated above?
- Depth of installation= 200 meters
- Distribution point elevation (highest point): 155 meters
h= 200+155=355m Q=10m3/h , pump needs to be used is SP 16A

3. What can be done to reduce these charge losses

- We can increase pipe diameter size
- Reduce the length of pipes by changing the path.

risks of such a situation? How do you look into the problem? How do you do to solve and

required by an independent supervisory body on the team or reviewing and checking the
schedule items and their duration.
