Site Plan Requirements

A site plan (also known as a plot plan) is a diagram or process to show the proposed improvements on an existing property. A site plan is important, as it provides information regarding the landscape features of a given plot of land. Zoning is done or can be understood with the help of a site plan.

A municipal wastewater treatment plant employs three circular primary clarifiers arranged in parallel, following the bar screen and grit removal chamber. The plant receives 12 MGD. Each clarifier is center-fed (water enters at the center and exists at the perimeter).The clarifier radius is 56 ft and depth is 10 ft.What is the hydraulic loading rate (critical velocity) in each clarifier in units of ft3.ft-2.hr-1 ?
) A pumping test carried out in a 50 m thick confined aquifer resulted in a flow rate of 600l/min. The thickness of the impermeable layer above the aquifer is 20 m and the originalwater level in the well was 2 mm below the ground surface (which is also the top of theimpermeable layer). Drawdowns in two observation wells located 50 m and 100 m fromthe well are 3 and 1 m respectively. Calculate:i) The coefficient of permeability of the aquifer, ii) The drawdown in the well, iii) The radius of influence. The diameter of the well is 0.6 m.
Give me right solution according to the question. Urgent please A 20-cm diameter well completely penetrates a confined aquifer of permeability 0.088 cm/sec. The length of the aquifer is 34 m. When pumping was kept constant at 78 L/sec, the drawdown at an observation well, 112 meters from the pumping well, was found to be 0.79 meters. Determine the drawdown at the face of the pumping well (in meters).
A) Three tensiometers (1, 2, and 3) with respective water column (L) of 45 cm, 60 cm, and 90 cm are buried to a depth of 0.2 m, 0.4 m, and 0.6 m from the soil surface in a crop field to support irrigation. The installed tensiometers show gauge pressure readings of -50kPa, -40kPa, and -45kPa for a particular day. If the hydraulic head required for irrigation to commence is -10 m, would you recommend irrigation to meet the crop water needs for this day? Briefly explain your recommendation. B) You are part of a water treatment plant project for a township of 30, 000 people. Their daily water requirement is 100 liter/person. It is known that sand filter column thickness of 0.3 m is sufficient for the filter bed for filtration. The hydraulic conductivity of the available sand was 2 x 10 -5 m/sec.
