Laboratory & Water Quality
In this chapter we will discuss various aspects of fluid motion without being concerned with the actual forces necessary to produce the motion. That is, we will consider the kinematics of the motion—the velocity and acceleration of the fluid, and the description and visualization of its motion. The analysis of the specific forces necessary to produce the motion 1the dynamics of the motion2 will be discussed in detail in the following chapters.

A Manual On Water Quality Treatment Methods At Community And Household Level
About this book :
This book is a compilation work of various techniques adopted at different parts of the world for removal of a range of chemical parameters which are present beyond the permissible limit in drinking water. The different technologies those are described in this book are mainly limited to household level and for community level. The stepwise pictorial presentation for treatment of contaminated water to remove different chemical parameters and biological treatment will possibly be appreciated by the readers of this book. The authors of this book have tried their best, put their utmost thought and taken maximum care while compiling the available information so that this piece of work will be accepted by every individual. This book in general comprises three sections and eight chapters are within these sections. Section-I comprises only one chapter which describes different water quality problems in India with specific interest to Odisha and for whom this book is designed. Similarly, the section-II encompasses four chapters. Water quality standards, water quality occurrence in different parts of the state and its presentation in shape of a map are reflected in these chapters. Section –III, which is the most important section of this book, illustrates identification of problems and their mitigation measures at household level as well as at community level. Material quantification and maintenance procedures are also depicted in this section.

Effects of Heavy Metals on Cell Density, Size, Specific Growth Rate and Chlorophyll a of Tetraselmis Tetrathele Under Controlled Laboratory Conditions
Abstract
The effects of the varying levels of mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd) (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 mg L⁻¹) to the cellular density of the green microalgae Tetraselmis tetrathele were evaluated every 24 h for 120 h. Specific growth rate, cell sizes and chlorophyll a were also monitored in the 5.0 mg L⁻¹ Hg and Cd and were compared to the unexposed at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 120h. Results showed that the algal density of T. tetrathele exposed to various levels of Hg were similar with the control up to 48 h. Variations on different concentrations at different times were observed but the results suggest that T. tetrathele was not affected by Hg even at concentrations up to 5.0 mg L⁻¹ for 48 h but started to show toxicity from 3.0 to 5.0 mg L⁻¹ after 72 h and longer. Cd on the other hand also showed toxicity at 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 mg L⁻¹ beyond 24 h exposure. The specific growth rate of T. tetrathele exposed to both 5.0 mg L⁻¹ Hg and Cd was statistically similar with those of the unexposed from 0 to 12 h and negative growth rates then followed up to 36 h. The chlorophyll a was significantly lower in the metal -exposed algae than did those unexposed. Chlorophyll a also decreased in T. tetrathele exposed to both heavy metals but algal cell sizes were not affected with the presence of Hg or Cd in the culture system.

Water Treatment and Pathogen Control
This document is part of a series of expert reviews on different aspects of microbial water quality and health, developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) to inform development of guidelines for drinking-water quality, and to help countries and suppliers to develop and implement effective water safety plans. Contamination of drinking-water by microbial pathogens can cause disease outbreaks and contribute to background rates of disease. There are many treatment options for eliminating pathogens from drinking-water. Finding the right solution for a particular supply involves choosing from a range of processes. This document is a critical review of some of the literature on removal and inactivation of pathogenic microbes in water. The aim is to provide water quality specialists and design engineers with guidance on selecting appropriate treatment processes, to ensure the production of high quality drinking-water. Specifically, the document provides information on choosing appropriate treatment in relation to raw water quality, estimating pathogen concentrations in drinking-water, assessing the ability of treatment processes to achieve health-based water safety targets and identifying control measures in process operation.

Analysis of Wastewater for Use in Agriculture – A Laboratory Manual of Parasitological and Bacteriological Techniques
Introduction:
The use of wastewater for crop irrigation is becoming increasingly common, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. Crop yields are higher as the wastewater contains not only water for crop growth, but also plant nutrients (mainly nitrogen and phosphorus). However, there is the risk that wastewater irrigation may facilitate the transmission of excreta-related diseases. In the late 1980s, the World Health Organization, the World Bank and the International Reference Centre for Waste Disposal sponsored a series of studies and meetings of experts to examine these health risks (International Reference Centre for Waste Disposal, 1985; Shuval et al., 1986; Prost, 1988; World Health Organization, 1989). From an appraisal of the available epidemiological evidence, it was established that the major risks were: the transmission of intestinal nematode infections both to those working in the waste-water irrigated fields and to those consuming vegetables grown in the fields; these infections are due to Ascaris lumbricoides (the human roundworm), Trichuris trichiura (the human whipworm), and Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus (the human hookworms); and- the transmission of faecal bacterial diseases - bacterial diarrhoea and dysentery, typhoid and cholera - to the crop consumers.
