Design of Water Treatment Plant as a Part of Township at Kadamakkudy

As it is quite obvious that there is day to day increase in population, the major challenge faced by the civil engineers is to provide a better space for living at cities and to deal with the burning issues of water scarcity. Where urban planning is used to promote environmental sustainability. With good planning, urban heritage is a key sustainable resource that need promoting as part of the existing territorial competitiveness in a scenario marked by an increase in rivalry between cities. This requires the development of a conceptual framework that on a global, holistic and integrative approach covers equality and social justice, environment and public health, among other aspect. Public health is an important aspect to be considered in any development process because a stable living environment can be created only with healthy habitant. Increasing pollution is a factor that polluting water and environment which effects human life. Available supply of potable, clean water within the city helps to stabilize this healthy environment to an extent. A functioning water treatment plant in a city can achieve this goal. The properties of water changes based on its surface sources. Average total water demand on the particular area was estimated as 5 MLD. Design of 5 MLD water treatment plant is proposed in this project accordance to 2050 population. Some proposals to lacking facilities at the site is also made in this project to conserve the energy and to promote optimum utilization of renewable resources such as solar street light, biogas plant and the necessity of a proper solid waste management system is also indicated in this report.
