221. If the total hardness and alkalinity of a sample of water are 300 mg/1 and 100
mg/1 (CaC0₃ scale) respectively, then its carbonate and non-carbonate hardness (in units of mg/1) will be respectively 100 and 200
222. Electrical conductivity (EC) of water and total dissolved solids (TDS) are
interrelated. The value of EC will increase with increase in TDS
223. When two identical centrifugal pumps are operating in series on a common rising main, then the pressure in the rising main wjll be nearly doubled, while the discharge will remain the same
224. In transition of sewers from smaller diameter sewers to larger diameter sewers, the continuity of sewers is maintained at the crowns of the sewers
225. The slope of a 1.0 m diameter concrete sewer laid at a slope of 1 in 1000,
develops a velocity of 1 m/s, when flowing full. When it is flowing half-full,
the velocity of flow through the sewer will be 1.0 m/s
226.
Oxidation ditch-Aerobic bacteria (suspended culture) Waste stabisation pond-Facultative bacteria Inhoff tank-Anaerobic bacteria Rotating Biological Contractor (RBC)-Aerobic bacteria (attached culture)
227. One litre of sewage, when allowed to settle for 30 minutes gives a sludge
volume of 27 cm³. If the dry weight of this sludge is 3.0 grams, then its sludge
volume index will be 9
228. An industrial wastewater enters a stream having a BOD concentration of 10 mg/1 and a flow of 20 m³/s. If the flow of wastewater is 1.5 m³/s and its BOD
concentration is 250 mg/1, then the BOD concentration in the stream at a point downstream of the point of confluence of wastewater with the stream will be
26.74 mg/l
229 A polluted stream undergoes self purification in four distinct zones
1. Zone of degradation
2. Zone of active decomposition
3. Zone of recovery
4. Zone of clear water.
