CE 2.2 Project Background
CE 2.2.1 Characteristics of the project
This project of Design of Water Treatment Plant was my second important project in
civil engineering career. There is often scarcity of water and our project helped in solving
these issues. A water treatment plan comprises of the ability in supplying pure as well as
healthier water for the several domestic purposes. This particular project comprised of the
collection of data for feasibility study of any such plant within the provided area. The water
quality parameters like alkalinity, hardness, iron, sulphate, and chemical oxygen demand,
chloride, MPN and many more were eventually tested in our project. The various units of
treatment like rapid filtration, flocculator, sedimentation tanks or rapid sand filter were being
designed here.
CE 2.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
The project of Design of Water Treatment Plant consisted for two objectives. They
are as follows:
 To design specific water treatment plant with proper measures.
 To remove the issues of scarcity of pure and healthy water for the domestic purposes.

 To analyze the water quality.
CE 2.2.3 My area of work
My major area of work was to make the basic design of the water treatment plant in
this particular project. I was responsible for checking the various impurities within the water
and also to check the demand of water in the project area provided to us. My other areas of
work involved analysis of the water quality with respect to the alkalinity, hardness, dissolved
oxygen, pH determination, sulphates, turbidity, demand of chemical oxygen and biochemical
oxygen and many others. Moreover, I even made the design of the storage reservoir in this
project.

CE 2.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
I was an important part of the project. I had several important and significant
responsibilities and duties in this particular project of Design of Water Treatment Plant. My

first and the foremost responsibility in this project was to check the demand of water within
our project area. I knew this was important, since it helped me to understand how much water
is consumed on a daily basis by the consumers. My next responsibility in the project was to
search for the several sources of water in our area. This helped me in understanding the
current position of water usage by the people. I was also responsible for checking the most
common impurities within the water and what were the harmful effects of them on human
beings or other residing animals. I even analyzed the water quality for the hardness, pH
determination, dissolved oxygen and many others. The storage reservoir of the project was
also made by me.
CE 2.3 Distinctive Activity
CE 2.3.1 Engineering knowledge and skills applied in the project
I have utilized my extreme knowledge as well as skills of civil engineering to make
the project successful. I am a hard-working and sincere individual and I also have several
skills like problem solving or critical thinking. Since, I have better skills of leadership; I have
the core capability in managing or providing appropriate guidance to each and every junior. I
even have used my various computer proficiencies within this project, which included
Primavera, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Project. I even have utilized my linguistic skills
and hence was able to communicate with all the local workers easily.
CE 2.3.3 Comprehending the Theory of Project
Water pollution is the most dangerous issue in today’s world. It is the significant
contamination of the water bodies, generally as the major result of several human activities.
The water bodies involved such as rivers, lakes, oceans, groundwater and aquifers. This water
pollution eventually results when the contaminants are being introduced into natural
environment. For solving the issue of water pollution, the water treatment plan is considered
