Question: ( B ) . Design a rapid sand gravity filter to meet water demand of a town with population of 3 7 5 0 0

(B). Design a rapid sand gravity filter to meet water demand of a town with population of 37500 with average water dernand of 160 lped . The quantity of backwash water used is \(3\%\) of filter output. The time lost in backwashing and cleaning of filter every day is 30 minutes. The filter is backwashed at the rate of \(10\mathrm{l}/\mathrm{m}^{2}/\mathrm{sec}\) for 10 minutes . Assume suitable design data wherever required.
