Description :
Raw water pumped from the reservoir/river contains a variety of physical, chemical and biological impurities that are important considerations in providing safe drinking water for people. The study was undertaken to determine the total loads of water quality constituents in the raw water from the Erai River water carrying pipeline (Raw water) and the performance of the water treatment plant (WTP) in the city of Chandrapur. WTP includes treatment facilities such as aeration, clariflocculation, filtration, overhead tank storage and distribution. The raw river water and water treatment plant constituents were sampled and analysed in accordance with the Standard Procedures for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. The result shows that raw water combined with heterogeneous physical, chemical and biological constituents that require treatment, while the performance of the treatment units is better at every stage.
