You may need to make several assumptions or develop your own approach to complete the task. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your team have been commissioned by your local council to undertake a Water Infrastructure design for the site given below (Figure 1). As the site is slightly far from the existing infrastructure, the council is exploring an idea of having a completely separate water infrastructure for the community. In line with its policy of sustainable water usage, the council wants to utilize treated wastewater to irrigate the Golf course and public parks and, also use for other industries that demand clean water. Assume your project area anywhere within QLD. For design purpose assume the population density is any value between 4 - 10 persons/allotment. This project has four major components. • Design of Water Treatment Plant • Design of Water Supply Network • Design of Wastewater Collection System • Design of Wastewater Treatment Plant Flow data of the nearby stream is given below. The stream will be used as a source of water if feasible.

You also need to determine the size of a raw water reservoir on the stream to supply water for the area. b) Design of Water supply network Develop a water supply network for the area. Ground elevations at few points are provided. Lengths of the pipes and point elevations are to be determined from the map. Use the EPANET program to design your proposed pipe network. http://www2.epa.gov/waterresearch/epanet. Velocities and pressure should be within allowable limits. Use hourly demand pattern recommended for your area. If the system is not sufficient to be fed by gravity, you may consider using pumps. Assume pump head characteristic curve (preferably source from market). Show pipe types and diameters in your final design. The report should also show pressure at the nodes, pipe flow velocities, pump types and operation hours in the proposed design. Note: before using program EPANET read the EPANET User's Manual (PDF). c) Design of Wastewater Collection system Design a wastewater collection system. Maintain self-cleansing velocity. Use minimum pipe diameter of 150 mm (or as available from the market) and round design pipe diameters to the nearest 5 mm. Maintain minimum cover. Assume suitable pipe material. Suitably place the manholes and draw the sketch of sewer arrangement along manholes. Try to avoid putting sewer lift stations as far as possible. d) Design of Wastewater Treatment Plant You are expected to prepare a layout for the whole plant and design a primary clarifier (settling tank) unit and a biological treatment unit. Submission A technical report should be submitted at the end of the project. Task allocation sheet must be included in the report. The report will not be marked without the task allocation sheet. The sheet will act as a documentation of your exact contribution in the project so that the report can be used as an evidence of achievements. Sample of the Task allocation sheet can be found on the course website. Design drawing should be included as a part of the report. ENEC14017 Water Engineering Project 1 Page 4 The main report should show detail explanation of entire process referring sources of formula or assumptions made. It should also show the calculations in detail. You may use excel or other computer program to do calculations. However, one complete sample workout should be included in the report. Excel spreadsheet must be submitted separately, if used for calculation. The spreadsheet should be self-explanatory with enough comments so that the marker can understand.
