Course Objectives:
• To acquire basic knowledge of source of water and various treatment processes
• To determine the sewage quantity, and understand its treatment and disposal
• To Identify and value the effect of the pollutants in atmosphere
• To formulate strategies to solid waste management
Module-I: (08 Hrs)
Water: Sources of Water and quality issues, water quality requirement for different beneficial uses, Water quality
standards, water quality indices, water safety plans, Water Supply systems, Need for planned water supply
schemes, Water demand industrial and agricultural water requirements, Components of water supply system;
Transmission of water, Distribution system, Various valves used in W/S systems, service reservoirs and design.
Water Treatment: aeration, sedimentation, coagulation flocculation, filtration, disinfection, advanced treatments
like adsorption, ion exchange, membrane processes.
Module-II: (08 Hrs)
Sewage- Domestic and Storm water, Quantity of Sewage, Sewage flow variations. Conveyance of sewage-
Sewers, shapes design parameters, operation and maintenance of sewers, Sewage pumping; Sewerage, Sewer
appurtenances, Design of sewerage systems. Small bore systems, Storm Water- Quantification and design of
Storm water; Sewage and Sullage, Pollution due to improper disposal of sewage, National River cleaning plans,
Wastewater treatment, aerobic and anaerobic treatment systems, suspended and attached growth systems,
recycling of sewage – quality requirements for various purposes.
Module-III: (08 Hrs)
Air - Composition and properties of air, Quantification of air pollutants, monitoring of air pollutants, Air pollution-
Occupational hazards, Urban air pollution automobile pollution, Chemistry of combustion, Automobile engines,
quality of fuel, operating conditions and interrelationship. Air quality standards, Control measures for Air pollution,
construction and limitations
Module-IV: (08 Hrs)
Noise-Basic concept, measurement and various control methods. Solid waste Management-Municipal solid
waste, Composition and various chemical and physical parameters of MSW, MSW management: Collection,
transport, treatment and disposal of MSW. Special MSW: waste from commercial establishments and other urban
areas, solid waste from construction activities, biomedical wastes, Effects of solid waste on environment: effects
on air, soil, water surface and ground health hazards. Disposal of solid waste-segregation, reduction at source,
recovery and recycle. Disposal methods- Integrated solid waste management. Hazardous waste: Types and
nature of hazardous waste as per the HW Schedules of regulating authorities.
Course Outcomes:
After successfully studying this course, students will able to:
• Understand the impact of humans on environment and environment on humans
• Identify and value the effect of the pollutants on the environment: atmosphere, water and soil
• Formulate strategies to control, reduce and monitor pollution
• Determine the most appropriate technique for the treatment of water, wastewater solid waste and
contaminated air
