PART A – Micro-Project Proposal

Test the water sample from locally available area to determine its characteristics
and prepare report on it.

1.0 Brief Introduction

According to the well code, all new drinking water wells are required to be sampled for the
presence of coliform bacteria prior to being placed into service. The well owner is
ultimately responsible for collecting the samples, and the well contractor is responsible for
notifying the well owner of their need to collect the samples. Some local health
departments may require additional sampling such as partial chemical or arsenic. This
additional sampling will typically be described on the well construction permit.

Water testing is a broad description for various procedures used to analyze water quality.
Millions of water quality tests are carried out daily to fulfill regulatory requirements and to
maintain safety.

2.0 Aim of the Micro-Project

This Micro-Project aims at:
The objective of water quality monitoring is to obtain quantitative information on the
physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of water via statistical sampling.

3.0 Intended Course Outcomes

Identify the sources and characteristics of water and wastewater.

4.0 Literature Review

1. P. J. Puri , M. K. N. Yenkie, et al [01]

Have studied water quality index (WQI) has been calculated for different surface water
resources especially lakes, in Nagpur city, Maharashtra (India), for the session January to
December 2008; comprising of three seasons, summer, winter and rainy season. Sampling
points were selected on the basis of their importance. Water quality index was calculated
using water quality index calculator given by National Sanitation Foundation (NSF)
information system. The calculated (WQI) for various studied lakes showed fair water quality

3
 in monsoon season which then changed to medium in winter and poor for summer season.
Gorewada lake showed medium water quality rating in all season except monsoon season.
Futala, Ambazari and Gandhisagar lake has also declined in aesthetic quality over past
decade following invasion of aquatic weeds such as hydrilla and water primrose, so the
reasons to import water quality change and measures to be taken up in terms of surface water
(lakes) quality management are required.

2. S. Chandra, A. Singh and P. K. Tomar [03] have described, lake water is a source of
drinking and domestic use water for rural and urban population of India. The main goal of
the present study was to assess drinking water quality of various lakes i.e. Porur lake
Chennai, Hussain Sager Hydrabad Vihar lake Mumbai in India. For this, lakes water
samples were collected from six different sites and composite sample prepared were
analyzed for pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), total dissolved solids (TDS), total
alkalinity (TA), total hardness (TH)and calcium hardness (Ca-H), chemical oxygen
demand(COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), dissolved oxygen (D.O.), sulphate (as
4
SO 2-), nitrate (as NO ) and chloride (Cl-) levels .Some heavy metals3 like Iron, Zinc,
Cadmium, Mercury, Nickel and Chromium were also analyzed in these samples. There
were variations for EC (141-1041 "#$%& ), turbidity (2-9 NTU), TDS (107.1–935.8
mg/L), SO42- (4–8 mg/L), TA (42–410 mg/L), TH (41-280 mg/L), Ca–H (14- 10 mg/L),
BOD (5-9mg/L), COD (4–32 mg/L) NO 3(1.1-3.6 mg/L) and Cl- (49-167 mg/L) levels at
different sites. Water pollution indicates that these parameters were manifold higher than
the prescribed limit by the WHO & BIS standard.

1.0 Rationale
In the laboratory, animals’ motivation to work tends to be positively correlated with reward
magnitude. But in nature, rewards earned by work are essential to survival (e.g., working to find
water), and the payoff of that work can vary on long timescales (e.g., seasonally). Under these
constraints, the strategy of working less when rewards are small could be fatal. We found that
instead, rats in a closed economy did more work for water rewards when the rewards were stably
smaller, a phenomenon also observed in human labor supply curves. Like human consumers, rats
showed elasticity of demand, consuming far more water per day when its price in effort was lower.
The neural mechanisms underlying such “rational” market behaviors remain largely unexplored. We
propose a dynamic utility maximization model that can account for the dependence of rat labor
supply (trials/day) on the wage rate (milliliter/trial) and also predict the temporal dynamics of when
rats work. Based on data from mice, we hypothesize that glutamatergic neurons in the subfornical
organ in lamina terminalis continuously compute the instantaneous marginal utility of voluntary work
for water reward and causally determine the amount and timing of work.

When animals have two ways to get a resource like water, they tend to choose the way that gets them
more water for less work. Neural mechanisms underlying choices involving value comparisons are
well studied. The reward literature has focused on how the relative subjective value or “utility” of
each option is determined by weighing benefits (such as reward magnitude or quality) against costs
(such as delay, risk, or effort). The identified neural mechanisms for utility computation mostly
involve striatal and limbic reward circuits and dopamine.

2.0 Course Outcomes Addressed

 Identify the sources and characteristics of water and wastewater.

7.0 Skill Developed / learning out of this Micro-Project
Checking the water quality of the Nation's streams, rivers, and lakes is one of the main
responsibilities of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Physical water measurements and streamflow
are almost always taken, but often water samples are needed for chemical analyses, and sampling
must follow strict guidelines to collect scientifically-viable samples.

8.0 Applications of this Micro-Project

Water sampling is very important for the correct outcome of water analysis. Using the correct
technique and the appropriate glassware or plastic ware is essential for the correct outcome. For
example, metals react with glass and can be adsorbed on the glass; for this reason, water sampling for
metal analysis is performed in plastic (usually polyethylene) containers. Another important factor is
the correct lifetime of the parameters to be used and the preservation method.

9.0 Area of Future Improvement

The water is majorly used in the preparation of mortar, mixing of cement concrete, curing of the final
structure; and therefore, it creates a direct impact on the strength of the mortator and cement
concrete.
