Su Karakteristiklerinin İçme Suyu Arıtma Tesisinin Planlanması ve Tasarımına Etkisi

Abstract

'Water is life'' is the proverb that could easily shows us the level of importance of water in our planet. Because, water is the basic and the most essential substance for the survival of all life in the universe. But, there are also a lot of waterborne diseases that could harm the consumer, if it is used directly from the water source without any treatment. Humans passed a lot of water related problems throughout history, struggled to survive and get a big progress to reach the water treatment level we have today. Although, still millions of people around the world don't have access for safe drinking water and sanitation. Therefore, treatment of drinking water and bringing it near to their people is one of the main issues for a lot of countries around the world. Actually treatment and distribution of drinking water it is not easy job, especially, for countries living in poverty with high population growth rate. Sub- Sahara African countries are suffering with lack of access for safe drinking water and sanitation. More than half of Ethiopia's population doesn't have access for safe drinking water. Silte zone is a district found in southern nations and nationalities regional state (Ethiopia) and it has a large scale safe drinking water shortage and sanitation problems. The main goal of this study was to analyze the laboratory results of different water sources (conducted by silte zone water and energy department) and determine the schematic diagram for different contaminants; finally we design a drinking water treatment plant for one of the water source in silte zone.'Water is life'' is the proverb that could easily shows us the level of importance of water in our planet.
