Even a\nsmall BOD reflects microbial activity or contamination. Drinking water\nstandards (IS:10500) require absence of biodegradable organics to ensure\npurity and safety. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Who had initiated the term "megalopolis"? \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n Sir Ebenezer Howard\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Sir Patrick Geddes\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Le Corbusier\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n J. Gottman\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n French geographer Jean Gottman coined “Megalopolis” in 1961 for the\nurban corridor between Boston and Washington\, D.C. It describes\nextensive\, continuous urbanized regions formed by merging metropolitan\nareas. The term is now widely used in urban geography. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Water requirement per head per day for average domestic purposes as per \nIS : 1172 - 1963\, is \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n 60 litres\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 250 litres\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 20 litres\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 135 litres\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n As per IS:1172-1963\, the average water requirement for domestic use is\n135 litres per person per day. This covers drinking\, cooking\, bathing\,\nwashing\, flushing\, and small gardening needs. It balances human necessity\nand resource availability\, forming a standard in urban water supply\nplanning. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Surge tanks are used \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n for storage water\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n in overflow valves\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n to increase the velocity in a pipeline\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n to guard against water hammer\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Surge tanks are protective structures in water pipelines. They absorb\nsudden pressure variations\, especially from pump stoppage or valve\nclosure\, preventing water hammer—a shock wave that can damage\npipelines. Thus\, they maintain system safety and stability. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n What is the average design hydraulic retention time for domestic \nwastewater in a septic tank? \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n 2 hours\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 48 hours\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 12 hours\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 24 hours\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Congratulations!
