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
  
  
  1. Aluminum
  2. Dissolved Organic Carbon
  3. Chloride
  4. Dry Matter
  5. Organic Dry Matter
  6. E. Coli
  7. Coliform Bacteria
  8. Enterococci

• Turbidity
• Volumetric Flow Rate
