Sewage Disposal Unit

The sewage management system consists of three stages. First, sewage from the main sewer is channeled to a settling tank. In this stage, the sewage is precipitate. After a while, the undecayed solids are left at the bottom of the tank and then the polluted water is distributed to the pump house. Then the pump house pumps the polluted water to the sprinkler bed. The sprinkler bed is a filter of stones and microorganisms, surrounded with brick work on its outer part, and on top of the filter are rotating arms. Polluted water is pumped to the top of the sprinkler bed through the T-shaped pipe and creating jets of polluted water in the air, which then fell to the filter inside the sprinkler bed. The polluted water was here purified. Then the purified water was flown to the river.





Water Distribution System

In the picture we can see a water distribution system in a two-story house. The water distribution in this kind of house is quite simple. Water from the PDAM is pumped to a water tank at the top of the house and then from there the water is distributed throughout the house. The first destination is the kitchen that located on the fist floor. The second is the bathroom’s stuffs on the second floor. The last is the cold water tank that connected to the hot water tank. In the hot water tank, the cold water from the cold water tank will be warmed. When the water is warm enough, the water will be distributed to the bath and wash-basin in the bathroom, and to the sink in the kitchen.
