Operation and Maintenance of Small capacity water treatment plants

By Dr. J.N. Kardile

Introduction:

It is generally seen that desired water quality is not obtained from water treatment plants particularly in villages and small towns. Small capacity plants serving them are normally operated by untrained operators under the control of municipal or village panchayat authorities in most of the States in India. In rainy season, the operators have to face turbidity problem and at many places consumers complain about the poor water quality. Further, outbreaks of water-borne diseases are also seen at many such places even with the provision of water supply schemes. In order to operate and maintain such small capacity plants efficiently, some important aspects of these are discussed in this paper based on the experience of the author.
