WATER SOURCE
TEXT

PLUMBING BASIC
▸ The plumbing system in your home is composed of two separate subsystems

▸ The water that comes into your home is under pressure

▸ It passes through a meter that registers the amount you use

▸ Water from the main supply is immediately ready for your cold water needs
TEXT

DRAINAGE SYSTEM
▸ Drainage systems do not depend on pressure, as supply systems do

▸ While the system sounds simple, there's more to it, including vents, traps, and
clean outs

▸ The vents sticking up from the roof of your house allow air to enter the drainpipes

▸ Traps are vital components of the drainage system. It is the curved or S-shape
section of pipe under a drain

▸ Since a drainage system involves all of these components, it is usually referred to

as the DWV: the drain-waste-vent system
TEXT

SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE SUBSYSTEM

▸ The supply and drainage subsystems are two distinct operations, with no
overlapping between them

▸ Toilets, sinks, and tubs are fixtures

▸ All devices that draw freshwater and discharge wastewater are fixtures
WATER SUPPLY AND
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
TEXT

WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

▸ Definition

▸ Carries water from the water source, street main or a pump to a building and
to various points in the building at which water is used

▸ Cold water supply

▸ Hot water supply

TEXT

WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

▸ Water

▸ Plays an important part in the plumbing system

▸ Providing water is one of the most critical utility requirements

▸ “Universal Solvent”
TEXT

WATER
▸ 3 Main Types of Water:

▸ White Water - the name suggest the it is clean water, free from bacteria and
viruses

▸ Grey Water - the water that flows from places such as shower, basin, bath
and washing machine

▸ Black Water - the water is generated from places such as toilets, dishwasher.
The level of contamination is high
TEXT

WATER CYCLE
▸ 3 Major Stages

▸ Evaporation

▸ Condensation

▸ Precipitation
TEXT

SOURCE OF WATER
▸ Rain Water ▸ Advantages

▸ Collected from roof of buildings and ▸ Water is soft & pure and is suitable for the
special water sheds and stored in cisterns hot water supply system
or ponds
▸ Disadvantages

▸ Only a source during wet season

▸ Storage become a breeding place for

mosquitoes

▸ Roof may not be clean

TEXT

SOURCE OF WATER
▸ Ground Water ▸ Advantages

▸ The portion of the rainwater which has ▸ Usually has an abundant supply;
percolated into the earth to form
underground deposits called aquifers ▸ Requires less treatment because of natural
(water-bearing soil formation) filtering

▸ From springs and well and is the principal ▸ Disadvantages

source of water for domestic use in most
▸ May have organic matter & chemical
rural areas
elements usually treatment is suggested
TEXT
SOURCE OF WATER
▸ Natural Surface Water
▸ A mixture of surface runoff and ground
water. Surface sources include rivers, lakes,
ponds and impounding reservoirs
▸ Advantages
▸ Usually easy to acquire and in large
quantities
▸ Used for irrigation, industrial purposes and,
when treated, for community water supply
▸ Disadvantages
▸ Contains a large amount of bacteria,
organic, & inorganic substances;
purification & treatment is necessary
TEXT

USES OF WATER
▸ Nourishment

▸ Cleansing and Hygiene

▸ Ceremonial Uses

▸ Transpirational Uses

▸ Cooling Medium

▸ Ornamental Element

▸ Protective Uses
TEXT

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF WATER

▸ Surface Tension

▸ The ability to stick itself together and pull itself together

▸ Heat Absorption/Capacity

▸ The ability to absorb heat without becoming warmer

▸ Capillarity

▸ The ability to climb up a surface against the pull of gravity

▸ Dissolving Ability

▸ Known as the “Universal Solvent”
