To determine the capacity of the plant, the following factors are typically considered:

The topography in the design of a purification plant is necessary for the following:

If the source of raw water is remote and high, the consumption of energy in pumping to the purification plant is representative of the costs.

Likewise, the drinking water distribution networks would also be affected by the elevation.

Dear Mhlengi Ndlovu ,

Please clarify what you mean with "topography" in the design of a water treatment plant WTP. Strictly geographically the topography will be determined by the access (location, elevation, ...) to the raw water source(s) as well as by the location of the main water users (city, village, ...).

If, however, you mean the sequence of the water treatment steps and sizing of the process equipment, then this will be determined by the kind and characteristics of the raw water source(s) and by the required water quality at the point of use.

Nice points by Dr. SMA

The plant needs to be laid out on the land's flat with the expanse,

if space is available and its beauty to be enhanced by apt Landscaping

If in rainy region need to be duly given space for apt drainage, and usage at sight.

All wastes be it liquid or solid need to be duly attended.ZLD done.

The total area of the facility may be developed as a Green campus with florals, and others.

Well wishes for a freshener look

• Plant capacity is determined by local water requirements, raw water quality, and treatment processes used.
• Facility capacity can be calculated by estimating the area`s peak water demand and sizing the facility to meet that demand.
• Peak water demand can be estimated based on factors such as population, water use patterns, and climate.

Already mentioned above are nice points. of course the plant need a consideration regarding the topography. While constructing a treatment plant we need to be curious of place where we are laying the scheme. mostly this type of schemes need flat area to protect the plant from wind and excessive erosion toward the treatment plant.

1. Location of the site relative to the water source, area.

2. The influence of industrial enterprises, agro-industrial enterprises and other.

3. Engineering and transport support.

4. Distance to users (subscribers).

5. Land documents, land assignment.

Site gets Rain, need to be duly addressed by installing rwh devices

Site could have polluted once used water. If BEs are in use, opt for total ZLD and use of recycled water

As a matter of fact, the total Site including indoor spaces are proficiently well greened and green initiatives are evolved at site.

Eco friendly practices are followed for celebrations of festivals and other religious activities.

With best wishes and regards

Major factors to be considered are: (1) type of the water source, (2) desired finished water quality, (3) skill of facility operators, and (4) the relative size of available funds.

Uncertainties related to the type of industries and manufacturing processes.

Differences in calculated parameters and actual wastewater parameters.

The total amount of biological oxygen demand (BOD) to degrade organic impurities.

When designing a water treatment plant, topography is an important factor that needs to be considered. Some of the factors that need to be considered are:

To determine the capacity of the water treatment plant, the following factors need to be considered:

Once these factors have been considered, the capacity of the water treatment plant can be calculated based on the water demand and treatment process.

contour and elevation are the key to prepare the WTP, beside the the caracteristic of soil .

I must remind that Bangladesh and there in India the water solution not been worked on, it's causing suffering to vast majority of people, damaging to worsen the environment.
