DRINKING WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM FOR VILLAGE POND,WELL

DRINKING WATER AT VILLAGES:

Community drinking water purification plants from surface water sources in case of arsenic and fluoride-affected habitations. 

Pond or wells are the oldest method of groundwater withdrawal for water supply. The water from pond or wells has been found to be relatively free from dissolved arsenic,fluoride and iron.

FLOW CHART :

Pond/well---Pump---Aowal Filter----Pump---- Micron Filters----Activated Alumina Filters----UV Tube disinfection----collection====Supply by 20 Ltr JAR

DESCRIPTION OF PARTS OF THE SYSTEM :

The AOWAL-type sand filter is a low-cost technology with very high efficiency in Iron, Fluoride,turbidity and bacterial removal.

Micron filters remove Turbidity efficiently.

The Activated Alumina Filter removes both Arsenic and Fluoride.We can remove this filter if  inlet Arsenic and fluoride content is within permissible limits. This will make our system completely chemical free.

UV Tube disinfects the water before supply.

We work with local NGO partners in both rural and urban areas to implement lasting solutions to water and sanitation issues and provide training.We are looking for PARTNERING with local NGOs.The NGOs can earn on a MONTHLY basis.The water filtered can be supplied in 20 liter jars at a rate of Rs.one per Liter.Expenses is 50 p/lit,  So a Profit of 50p/liter is obtained.

This model can generate employment and provide clean drinking water to an entire village or an urban settlement.  Local MLA or Gaon Panchayat can fund the project.


Case Study:
Source of Water : Pond, Well
to provide 8-10 litres per capita per day (LPCD) of safe drinking water for drinking and cooking purposes in areas affected by fluoride, arsenic, heavy metals and pesticides. 

Quantity: 3000 Liter per day (For 300 persons @10 liter per person per day ).

Project Cost.: .Equipment cost will be around Rs. Three Lac.



To design a system we need

1. The total quantity of water to be treated

2. A water test is recommended of the following parameters
.

	Source of water	Pond/well
1	pH
2	Turbidity(NTU)
3	TDS
4	Total hardness as CaCO3
5	M-Alkalinity as CaCO3 7
6	P-Alkalinity as CaCO3
7	Total iron as Fe
8	Total Chloride as Cl
9	Residual Chloride as Cl
10	Ammonical nitrogen as NH3
11	Nitrate nitrogen as No3
12	Fluoride as F
13	Sulphate as SO4
14	Calcium as CaCO3
15	Ammonical nitrogen as NH3
16	Arsenic
17	Coli form(Bactoriology tests)

why i am working for environmental issues ENVO-Environmental Organization

ITS NOT POSSIBLE TO FOLLOW ALL THE THINGS THAT OUR PROPHET (Peace be upon him PBUH) HAD DONE, HE IS MODEL FOR ALL PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD.

When I was 10-12 yrs old, i heard Maulana Madani (Senior) say that if somebody follows just one sunnah steadfastly throughout his life thats sufficient for him.Growing beard is also sunnah(Origin of my beard)...pray for me...pray for me that i die with kalma (the minimum requirement).... And pray for me that I can do something for the betterment of this world before I die.... Otherwise there is no meaning of my existence in this world.doctors are making peoples health better...engineers are making living conditions better.... Alims are making spiritual lives better.

NOW HAVE I DONE SOMETHING OR STILL DONT HAVE ANY GOAL IN LIFE.no, I have found in Quran majeed myself that the world is a gift from Allah and nobody has the right to destroy it… .So we don't have any right in making our rivers into drain (read yamuna river,bhorolu river), polluting our air with our car exhaust, littering the greens with solid waste…. I am trying my best in this regard …after forming ENVO.

The philosophy behind my work in environmental engineering

PREAMBLE OF ENVO

Nature is a gift to us . No individual or organisation has the right dto utilise its resources in such a way that damage or inconvenience is caused  to  people of society . we all have a social responsibility to protect and preserve a clean and green environment. The goale of profit maximisation and customer satisfaction should be surbordinate to the social need and responsibilities. The present concern has been brought about by the health of humans, living being, tree , structures, monuments and all other things.It was repeatedly mentioned in the Qur'an: Forbidding from spoiling the earth after Allah (Exalted and Almighty) has created it suitable and well prepared for the successive human generations. It announced that Allah does not like spoiling or those who spoil in life, this includes spoiling environment, polluting it or being aggressive with it. Also it is forbidden to abuse it in any way that would make it deviate from the purpose of Allah created it for. This would be like showing ingratitude to Allah, that would cause vengeance from Allah, and becomes like a warning to those who perpetrated this, that severe penalty will almost come upon them as what happened before to the `Aad and the Thamud and those who came after them.
"Who did transgress beyond bounds in the land (in the disobedience of Allah) and made therein much mischief. So your Lord poured on them different kinds of severe torment. Surely your Lord is Ever-Watchful." (89:11-14) Islam urges its followers to have great concern for everything created by Allah, for it is part and parcel of "submission to Allah" to show reverence to all what the Almighty Allah created.

We cant be all rounder like our Prophet (PBUH),but atleast we can excel in one field and serve humnanity as he did.

May Allah accepts my hard work and bestow his blessings on me and forgive me for the major and minor SINS I make in every steps
...ALLAH HAFIZ....
