Is it possible to provide air compressor in a seawge pumping station in order to pump compressed air into the wet well or this can cause serious troubles to the pumps since air bubbles may enter the pumps.
I have used Kirpich formula for calculating the time of concentration for small watersheds,however for large watersheds it is giving conservative results"shorter duration " compared to other methods as the Kinematic wave equation which is developed by the University of Maryland & is recommended...
What is the minimum acceptable slopes for large water transmission lines(dia. 60 inch),can we use 1 per thousand ?
Is there any standard which give the minimum slope?
We have an existing STP with belt press (4 units) handling 63 mgd, the solids conentration after the belt press is 20%. We desire to incinerate the sludge:

Recently a new storm water system has been constructed in a flat city with big diameters(Dia. range 1meter-2.5 meters),
last week there was a big storm and we noticed there are a lot of air coming from the Manholes ,so we opened several manholes to relief all the air from the system.
Some...
Are there any standards regarding the maximum water velocity that can be reached in water transmission /distribution lines for the following pipe materials:
1-Ductile iron cement lined
2- concrete pressure pipes
3- Steel pipes
Most of my work is in the design of water distribution systems,tanks & pump stations. Several new projects the client is asking to involve more in operation & maintenance of the system ,so I need some information,software or references which I can refer to & see how I can advise my Client...
What pipe material is preferable to use for water transmission line Dia. range 10inch- 16 inch.
Ductile iron is costly,GRP(glass reinforced plastic) is less costly but I did not use before! Do you think GRP is acceptable .
I have to estimate the future water demands for a large city in the middle east where the water is scarce,the current demand is only 220 liters per capita per day,some views suggest to increase the demand to reach 350 liters per capita per day and some views want to keep the demand fixed in the...
