Abstract

Water is an essential requirement for the body of the any living organisms. The human body contains more
than 70% of water and many essential minerals required for human body are present in the purer water. Mother Nature
has provided us the several sources of the pure water located in surface and subsurface of the earth. But we humans for
satisfying our needs have generated pollution in these natural sources making the source of water unfit for the use.
Hence, water has to be treated by the local water supplying authority of a town before supplying water to the society
from the source to facilitate public with clean, fresh and palatable water. Therefore, Water Treatment Plant (WTP) is an
essential requirement for the society of any town. So, the focus of this research paper is on the hydraulically designing a
WTP. This paper particularly deals with the proposed hydraulic design for a 3 MLD WTP to be constructed at
DhikwalGaon of Srinagar municipal board at PauriGarhwal district situated in state of Uttarakhand, India. The WTP
project has been launched by UttarakhandPey Jal Nigam. In this study, all the necessary units of a WTP have been
proposed and hydraulically designed considering the key factors such as source, society demand and degree of water
treatment required.
