2. Odournuisance—Gases released from sewage cause foul smell.

3. Nuisance ofmosquito breeding, flies, rodents, insects ete
4. Outbreak of Diseases/Epidemics: Waste water contains numerous pathogens
(disease causing microorganisms) and improper disposal may cause serious diseases
and illness to urban and rural population.
5. Water Pollution: When waste water is discharged into fresh water bodies (rivers,
Jakes etc), merous pollutants are released into it and the oxygen level of water
depletes. The water becomes unfit for human use. This water may even become fatal
if given to infants (Blue Baby Syndrome).
6. _ Land Pollatiom: Caused due to the harmful and toxic chemicals in waste water.
7. Ground Water Contamination : Waste water discharged on land, percolates through
the soil and pollutes underground water sources and renders it unsuitable for use.
8. Contamination ofdrinking water supplies
9. Ecological imbalance : When waste water is discharged into water bodies, the
aquatic plants and animals are affected which may alter the ecosystem.
Eg: When waste water is discharged into lakes, due to the high concentration ce
Nutrients init, algae grows in excess and covers the lake surface, which prevents
sunlight penetration into water and thereby depletes the oxygen level of water.
This condition is called Eutrophication. The water in the lake becomes septic
and unfit for inman use. The aquatic life (fishes, insects, worms etc) cannot
survive without oxygen and this leads to imbalance in the lake ecosystem.

Cast Iron Sewers
These pipes are stronger and capable to withstand greater tensile, compressive, as well as
bending stresses. However, these are costly. Cas iron pipes are used for outfall sewers, rising
‘mains of pumping stations, and inverted siphons, where pipes are running under pressure. These
arealso suitable for sewers under heavy traffic load, suchas sewers below railways and highways.
‘They are used for carried over piers in case of low lying areas. They form 100% leak proof
sewer line toavoid groundwater contamination. They are less resistant to corrosion; hence,
generally lined from inside with cement concrete, coal tar paint, epoxy, etc. These are joined
together by bell and spigot joint. 1S:1536-1989 and IS:1537-1976 provides the specifications
for spun and vertically cast pipes, respectively. .
Steel Pipes
‘These are used under the situations such as pressure main sewers, under water crossing,
bridge crossing, necessary connections for pumping stations, laying pipes over self supporting.
spans, railway crossings, etc. They can withstand intemal pressure, impact load and vibrations
much better than CI pipes. They are more ductile and can withstand water hammer pressure
better. These pipes cannot withstand high external load and these pipes may collapse when
negative pressure is developed in pipes. They are susceptible to corrosion and are not generally
used for partially flowing sewers. They are protected internally and externally against the action
of corrosion.
Ductile Iron Pipes
Ductile iron pipes can also be used for conveying the sewers. They demonstrate higher
capacity to withstand water hammer. The specifications for DI pipes is provided in IS:12288-
1987. The predominant wall material is ductile iron, a spheroidized graphite cast iron. Internally
these pipes are coated with cement mortar lining or any other polyethylene or poly wrap or
plastic bagging/sdeeve lining to inhibit corrosion from the wastewater being conveyed, and various
types of extemal coating are used to inhibit corrosion from the environment. Ductile iron has
provento be abetter pipe material than cast iron but they are costly. Ductile iron is still believed
tobe strongerand more fracture resistant material. However, like most ferrous materials itis
susceptible tocorrosion. A typical life expectancy of thicker walled pipe could be up to 75 years,
however with the current thinner walled ductile pipe the life could be about 20 years in highly
corrosive soils without a corrosion control program like cathodic protection.

Shapes of Sewer Pipes
‘Sewers are generally circular pipes laid below ground level, sloping continuously towards
the outfall. These are designed to flow under gravity. ‘Shapes other than circular are also used,

i Basket handled shape sewer
‘Standard egg-shaped sewers, also called as ovoid shaped sewer, and new or modified
egg-shaped sewers are used in combined sewers. These sewers can generate self cleansing
velocity during dry weather flow. Horse shoe shaped sewers and semi-circular sections are used
forlarge sewers with heavy discharge such as trunk ancl outfall sewers. Rectangular or trapezoidal
section is used for conveying storm water. U-shaped section is used for larger sewers and
especially in open cuts. Other sections of the sewers have become absolute due to difficulty in

1.13 STORM DRAINAGE
* Disadvantages of Combined Sewers: Sewage +Drainage).
@ Larger size of sewer section is required.
(Gi) Hydraulic performance is unsatisfactory during Dry Weather Flow (DWF):
Hence, itis frequently preferred to carry the storm water through storm water drain.
* Surface Drains /Storm Water Drains:
@ Surface drains are used to carry sullage (kitchen waste water)and rain waters.
Gis Surface drains are less hygienic since they are open and exposed to atmosphere.
Gi) Surface drains are normally laid along either sides of the street facing boundary walls
of housesand buildings.
@)y In surface drain, itis difficult to maintain self cleansing velocity and they require frequent
cleaning.
(¥) Surface drains flow under gravity.
% Requirements for efficient surface drains:
(The inner surface of the drain should be smooth.
(i) _Itshould have sufficient carrying capacity and should have reasonable free board.
(i) _Itshould be laid at sufficient gradient to achieve self-cleansing velocity during dry
weather flow.
() All the joints should be properly and neatly finished.
(vy) Itshould be structurally safe and stable.
(i) Itshould be constructed with non-corrosive material and should be resistant to erosion.

‘The bell cap has a sniffhole.
When water level is below the sniff hole, water levelin the U-tube is at level [Y,~¥,}
(long arm, short arm).
Asthe water level in the tank rises above the snffhol, the air caught up in the bell
(compressed air) exerts pressure on water surface Y, and the water level in the long
armis depressed.
As water level rises in tank (upto discharge level) Y, level in long arm of U-tube
depresses more and more and the compressed air caught in bell is released through
shorter arm. The siphonic action starts releasing water from the tank into the sewer till
wate: level falls below sniffhole.
When water level in tank falls down, ar enters the bell cap and breaks the siphonic
action,
(8) Grease and Oil Traps:
+ Trap chambers are used to remove oil/grease from sewage, before entering sewer
Tne.
> These are located near sources which generate grease and oil (automobile repair
workshops, garages, kitchens of hotels, oil/grease indusstries etc.)
* Necessity:
u)
fii)
Grease/oil stick to sewer sides and causes obstruction or reduce sewer capacity.
Ircreases the possibilities of explosion in sewer lines.
fii) Presence of oil and grease causes difficulties in treatment.
(iv) Presence of oil and grease on surface of waste water prevents oxygen penetration
and cause bad odours.
Principle:
The erease and oil traps consists of two chambers interconnected through a pipe.
The Inict is provided with a grating on the top.
