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 12 hours\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 24 hours\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 \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \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 Patrick Geddes\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n Le Corbusier\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n J.

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 20 litres\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 250 litres\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 60 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 Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) of safe drinking water must be \n\n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n\n 5\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 7\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 10\n\n \n \n \n\n \n\n 0\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Safe drinking water must have zero Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)\nbecause BOD indicates organic pollution that consumes oxygen. 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 Congratulations! You’ve completed the test.
