Abstract | ||
The main purpose of this work is build a Statistical modeling of the treatment processes of a shallow depth settling water treatment plant designed and constructed at Al-Nekhela Al-Gharbia village (population 4800 in 500 dwellings) in the city of Hilla (Babylon Governorate) to produce potable water. The raw water is taken from Al-Hilla River, a branch of the Euphrates. The best was done to construct a water treatment plant that is simple to operate and made of reinforced concrete and locally available materials. The theory of shallow depth settling is adopted here due to the nature of the solid suspension of the raw water. The treatment system produced filtered water at a rate of 5 m3/m2.hr under a head of 1.85 m above the surface of the sand layer in the filter. | ||
