CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 HUMAN AND WATER
The environment of man plays a prominent role on mans health than all
types of diseases one can possibly think of. Then it is necessary to
have standard environmental sanitation. Next to air terms of importance
is water. Water is a basic necessity to man existence and environmental
sanitation condition.
One does not necessarily has to be a
philosopher to agree with the view that the environment play a major
role on mans health bearing in mind that apart from the direct effect
the physical environment has on health, the type of diseases found in an
area have a direct relationship with the nature of the physical
environment thus mans environment has to be properly sanitized.
It can therefore be said that next to air, water is very important to
man existence. According to a great philosopher PRINDER in the century
B.C he said “ water is the best of all things†this could perhaps be an
overstatement but it is an undisputed fact that man relies on it.
Apart
from mans day to day activities and demand for water drinking, cooking
and general sanitation purposes, water is also useful in regards and
respect to irrigation, power generation (Kanji dam) industrial
(Breweries etc) and recreational facilities (water foundations).
In Africa in general in regards to settlement portable water is not
readily available to the people. 80% as estimated have no access to
portable water which is especially more dominant in the rural areas due
to in adequate planning. Due to this there is a great demand for
portable water supply in the rural community.
Thus
therefore brings forth the concept to design mini-water schemes for
rural communities. The provision of economical and adequate increased
water supply is particularly acute in rural communities. Therefore
portable water to the rural population is undoubtedly a major benefit of
water development. It immediately reduces the health hazards
significantly and further contributes to the major directs and indirect
benefits i.e it will have a spoil over effect on the other associated
problems, that are associated with health in any community which is
fortunately the form of attention of the present day government and the
aim of this project.
Hence the fundamental question that
should be asked is not whether there should be water development but
rather how do we meet the basic human needs and aspirations of the
consumers without simultaneously destroying the resources base?
The require the conception, planning design construction and operation
of facilities to control and utilize water in other to achieve an
economical and cost effective system which should be such that would
meet the requirement of many other rural areas throughout the country
with only slight.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]The technical report of this project deals with the design of a water treatment plant model which consists of five tanks.Water treatment plant model is made up of glass with pipe joining them together to allow movement of water from one tank to another.6mm plain glass is used for base and 5mm plain glass is used for other component. These glasses are joined together with addition of silicon sealant gum.Water treatment plant model has five processing tanks stages i.e raw Water tank, Flocculation ... Continue reading---
