Study Notes
Safi Town Overview
- Safi is a town in a hilly area with elevations ranging from 8 to 28 meters above sea level.
- Safi has a population of 16,170 inhabitants.
- The town is divided into six districts (A-F) with varying population densities.
- The town is expecting rapid expansion due to regional development activities and the construction of a new agricultural machinery factory.
- The existing sanitation system in Safi is in poor condition and relies on soak pits. A new sewerage system is proposed.
- The new sewerage network is designed to last for 30 years.
- PVC piping is selected for the network, taking into account local soil conditions and manufacturing capabilities.
Population Data
- The total surface areas of the districts and sub-districts are summarized in Table A2.1.
- The present population density for each area, expressed as the number of inhabitants per hectare, is shown in Table A2.2.
- The population growth rate is assumed to be constant throughout the design period.
Water Demand
- The water consumption in Safi is mainly domestic, with a projected consumption per capita of 200 liters per day.
- The new factory is estimated to require 1500 m3/d of water.
- The typical diurnal domestic consumption pattern experiences variations within the range of 0.95 and 1.10 of the average daily figures.
- Monthly (seasonal) variations are estimated to be between 90% and 115% of the average consumption.
- The factory operates at a constant (average) capacity throughout the day.
Design Questions
- The sewer network needs to be designed considering the location of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).
- The design should incorporate all the necessary criteria covered in the course.
- The results should be presented in the form of tables and figures.
- Sewer profiles should be drawn and exported to AutoCad or Civil 3D.
- The design should include an analysis of the hydraulic performance of the system over the entire design period, considering phased development if applicable.
- Any difficulties encountered during the design process should be explained, along with the solutions adopted.
Project Objectives
- To analyze the hydraulic performance of a sewer network using SewerGEMS software.
- To design the sewer network for Safi, taking into account the town's existing conditions, future growth estimates, and the proposed factory.
- To ensure the network's efficacy and efficiency over its planned 30-year lifespan.
