Prepared by: Salas, Kier Nicole S.
D. Design Outputs - describes all the
components, parts, and pieces
Engineer’s Report - This report contains special
design provisions as well as a summary of the
design standards used.
Design provisions include:
 Demand requirements
 Justification of any treatment process adopted
 Soil conditions as a basis for foundation
design
 Distribution system analysis
 Source description and justification
General Layout - Usually the first page of the
detailed plans showing the:
 Name of the barangay/ town covered
 The CBO (certified building official) or agency
in charge of the WS (water supply) facilities
 The location of major facilities (sources,
reservoirs)
 Coverage of the pipe network
Detailed Plans
 Locations
 Schematics (a drawing or plan that shows the
details of how something operates or is put
together)
 Dimensions and elevations of all facilities
Specifications – refers to one or a combination
of the following criteria:
 Type of material to be used
 Installation and disinfection procedures or
 Quality of workmanship
Bill of Quantities and Cost Estimates
 Bill of Quantities - A bill measures or counts
all the items used in a construction project - it
is a highly detailed document the builder
prices to give his proposal (tender) for the job.
It also includes preliminaries - ie all the
scaffolding, site accommodation, service
connection and other items needed. It can be
used to price any changes made during the
course of construction and is the best way of
getting an accurate price for a job (as well as
being the most expensive to prepare) - it has a
high degree of cost certainty as the builder
knows exactly what it is required.
i. Used as the bill of quantities in the bid
documents
 Cost estimate is prepared (by a Quantity
Surveyor of Const Consultant) on a much
broader basis as a guide and is a prediction of
the likely values of the tenders and other fees,
eg architect's and other consultants - so the
client knows what his total expenditure is likely
to be.
i. Used as a basis of the agency estimate
for the bid
ii. In general, Bill of Quantities is a highly
detailed document while Cost estimates is
much broader
CHAPTER 2
THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL NATURE OF
WATER by Trinidad, John Zedrick B.
Water in liquid form is most dense at 4° C (39.2°
F).
 At 4°C pure water has a specific gravity of
1.
  The density of pure water is a constant at a
particular temperature, and does not
depend on the size of the sample
 (intensive property). Its density however, varies with temperature and impurities.
 Water is the only substance on Earth that exists in nature in all three physical states of matter: solid,
liquid and gas.

USES AND IMPORTANCE OF WATER • Domestic uses. drinking, washing, bathing,

• Consumptive water cooking, cleaning, tending and watering of home
Water removed from available supplies without gardens and the upkeep of domestic animals.
return to a water resource system. • Other uses. water supplied by water utilities
• Non-consumptive water include Municipal, Irrigation, Power Generation,
Water use that can be treated and returned as Fisheries, Livestock Raising, Industrial and
surface water. Recreational uses.

HYDROLOGICAL CYCLE

FACTORS ALTERING THE WATER CYCLE o Increased risk of direct storm and flood
Reported by: Angelo Valmores damage to water utility facilities

Responsibilities Of Utilities In Relation To Suggested Strategies to Mitigate Risks from

Climate Change
 Utilities must do whatever is necessary to
promote water conservation measures and
reduce non-revenue water.
Climate Change Effects To Consider
 Climate changes have significant effects on
the available sources of water, as well as on
the competing demands on its use.
o Rising sea levels
o Increased saline intrusion
o Water treatment challenges
Climate Change
 Within the capabilities of small water utilities
are some strategies that they can implement
either as part of their day-to-day operations, or
as special measures in response to external
developments
o Water Conservation Measures
o Design of facilities
o Reforestation of watersheds
o Mitigation of disaster effects
