Water Parameters
Water parameters are those chemical, physical and biological qualities of water which describes its purity. It is a measure of conditions of water relative to a standard reference water standard. A number of quality standards are available for water parameters, in this water treatment plant - modelling project only those parameters which are important from IS 10500 (2012) : DRINKING WATER SPECIFICATION are considered and modelled. The parameters that are under consideration of modelling are listed below:
Water Parameters used in this model (in reality there are many more)
- Sand Concentration and Grain Size
- Mass Density
- Concentration of the following materials
- Aluminum
- Dissolved Organic Carbon
- Chloride
- Dry Matter
- Organic Dry Matter
- E. Coli
- Coliform Bacteria
- Enterococci
- Turbidity
- Volumetric Flow Rate
Values of Water Parameters
