Abstract

The town of Dolores, Quezon, Philippines used to gather its drinking water from natural springs. But due to the depleting volume of water coming from the springs, the Dolores, Water District (DWD) decided to shift from natural springs as the source of their drinking water to surface water. Along with this, DWD constructed 2-stage filter to treat the raw surface water. But at times where there is intensive rainfall, water passing through the treatment remains turbid. This study aims to come up with a conceptual design that may solve this problem. Turbid raw water where analyse to be set as a benchmark for the design of the facility with accordance to the guidelines set by American Water Works Association-American Society of Civil Engineers (AWWA-ASCE) and Department of Water Works and Sanitation in Developing Countries (SANDEC) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (EAWAG). After the water analyses, assessment of selection and design guidelines, this study were able to come up with a design of a treatment facility comprised of a Simple Sedimentation Tank and a Horizontal-flow Roughing Filter that is expected to clean water up to 5 NTU water turbidity.
