The Kerala Water Authority requested the School of Environmental Studies to
carry out investigations on the mechanism of sporadic mobilization of iron and
odour in the raw water drawn to the drinking water treatment plant. The
currently used treatment process failed to remove iron completely. This led to
problems in the filter and complaints of taste and colour due to iron in the
finished water. The sporadic nature of the problem itself made the trouble
shooting difficult.
The problem was looked in from three points of view.
1. Influence of environmental (climatic) conditions on the dynamics of
the relevant basin of the reservoir.
2. Influence of the physical dynamics on the physico — chemical quality
of water.
3. Identification of cost-effective treatment processes to suit the existing
plant.
Since the problem emerged only during the post- monsoon to pre-monsoon
months, a related problem was investigated, namely, influence of anions on
the oxidation of Fe(II) in natural waters by air. This is presented in Part II of
the dissertation. |
