Water Supply Engineering – Environmental Engineering (Volume-1) By Dr. B.C.Punmia –
Environmental Engineering Volume 1 also known popularly as Water Supply Engineering written by Dr.B.C.Punmia
was one of the finest books under the Water Supply Engineering which is very useful to Civil Engineering students.
All the civil engineering students must have this book at a particular point of time in their B.Tech/M.Tech course.
Mostly suitable for the Indian civil engineering course. The text and words inside this book are very user friendly
and easily understandable to all the students. Also this book is very useful for the Civil Engineers for the future
guidance.Very useful and must have book for the students who are preparing for GATE / IES / Govt exams.
Water is one of the most essential items needed by man, plants and animals for their survival. Without water there
can be no life. Man and animals not only consume water but they also consume for their food. Vegetation in turn
cannot grow without water. Growth of vegetation also depends upon bacterial action, while bacteria bed water in
order to thrive. The bacterial action can convert vegetable matter into productive soil. New plants which grow in
this soil grow by sucking nutrients through their roots in the form of solution in the water. Thus an ecological chain
is maintained. Water maintains an ecological balance a balance in the relationship between living things and
environmental in which they live.
Organised community life require twin suffices of water supply and sewage disposal. Good sanitation cannot be
maintained with adequate water supply system. Without proper disposal, the wastes of community can create
intolerable nuisance, spread diseases and create order health hazards. The planning, design and operation of water
and waste water systems are complex and undertakings and they require a high degree of skill and judgement.
The work of construction and maintenance of water supply and waste water disposal systems in generally
undertaken by government agencies mostly through Public Health Engineering in Environmental Engineering
Departments consisting of Civil Engineers.
