2. Rectangular pre-sedimentation tanks to be used to remove grit and sand from river water that is used to produce \(20000\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{d}\) drinking water. Use an overflow rate of \(20\mathrm{~m}^{3}\cdot \mathrm{~m}^{2}/\mathrm{d}\) and a weir loading rate of \(200\mathrm{~m}^{3}/\mathrm{m}.\mathrm{d}\), a detention time of 3 hrs . A minimum of two tanks are to be used. Find the following:
a. The surface area of the tank.
b. Tank dimensions (\(\mathrm{L}^{*}\mathrm{~W}^{*}\mathrm{H}\)), use width to length ratio of 4:1, Maximum length 40 m ,
c. Find the required weir length and propose a weir arrangement (such as finger type weirs) showing dimensions and way of arrangement.
d. what is the horizontal velocity in the tank?
e. Draw a horizontal plan for the sedimentation tank showing the effluent weir arrangement and draw a longitudinal vertical cross section showing all dimensions. The drawing should be a sketch only; you don't need to draw to scale.
