WATER SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE SERVICE FOR BUILDINGKaran Patel
The product, delivered to the point of consumption, is called potable water if it meets the water quality standards required for human consumption.
The water in the supply network is maintained at positive pressure to ensure that water reaches all parts of the network, that a sufficient flow is available at every take-off point and to ensure that untreated water in the ground cannot enter the network. The water is typically pressurised by pumps that pump water into storage tanks constructed at the highest local point in the network. One network may have several such service reservoirs.
In small domestic systems, the water may be pressurised by a pressure vessel or even by an underground cistern (the latter however does need additional pressurizing). This eliminates the need of a water-tower or any other heightened water reserve to supply the water pressure.
These systems are usually owned and maintained by local governments, such as cities, or other public entities, but are occasionally operated by a commercial enterprise (see water privatization). Water supply networks are part of the master planning of communities, counties, and municipalities. Their planning and design requires the expertise of city planners and civil engineers, who must consider many factors, such as location, current demand, future growth, leakage, pressure, pipe size, pressure loss, fire fighting flows, etc

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• Nearly 4000 years ago, the ancient
Greeks had hot and cold-water
systems in buildings.
• The Minoan Palace of Knossos on the
isle of Crete had terra cotta (baked
clay) piping laid beneath the palace
floor. These pipes provided water for
fountains and faucets of marble,
gold, and silver that offered hot and
cold running water.
• Drainage systems emptied into large
sewers constructed of stone.
Minoan Palace of Knossos
4. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• The Minoans took advantage of the steep
grade of the land to devise a drainage
system with lavatories, sinks, and
manholes. Archaeologists have found
pipe laid in depths from just below the
surface in one area to almost 11 feet
deep in others.
• At Knossos we find the earliest known
flushing toilet. The toilet was screened
off by partitions and was flushed by
rainwater or by water held in cisterns
from conduits built into the wall.
• Not just palaces but ordinary homes
were heated with sophisticated
hypocaust systems, where heat was
conducted under the floor, the earliest
known to exist.
Minoan Palace of Knossos
7. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• The first storm sewers of Rome were
built about 2800 years ago. Over
2000 years ago, the Romans had in
place a highly developed community
plumbing system in which water was
conveyed over many miles by large
aqueducts. Water was then
distributed to residences in lead
pipes.
Roman Sewage System
8. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• Cloaca Maxima, is an ancient Roman
sewer, one of the oldest monuments in
the Roman Forum.
• Originally an open channel constructed
in the 6th century BC by lining an
existing stream bed with stone, it was
enclosed, beginning in the 3rd century
BC, with a stone barrel (semicircular)
vault.
• Its primary function was to carry off
stormwater from the Forum district to
the Tiber, but in Imperial times large
public baths and latrines were
connected to it. Much of its original
masonry has been replaced by concrete.
Cloaca Maxima, Rome
9. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• The Roman plumber was an artisan who
worked with lead. Both male and female
plumbers soldered, installed, and
repaired roofs, gutters, sewers, drains,
and every part of the plumbing supply,
waste, and storm drainage systems.
• The term plumbing is derived from the
Latin word plumbum for lead (Pb).
• Historians theorize that lead leaching
into drinking water from water supply
pipes and lead from other sources
poisoned the Roman aristocracy,
contributing to the decline of the Roman
Empire
Ancient Roman plumbing
10. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• The period from 500 to 1500 C.E.
was a dark age in terms of human
hygiene; community plumbing
became almost nonexistent.
• At the end of the Middle Ages,
London’s first water system was
rebuilt around 1500. It consisted
partly of the rehabilitated Roman
system with the remainder
patterned off of the Roman’s design.
11. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• Pumping devices have been an
important way of moving fluids for
thousands of years.
• The ancient Egyptians invented
water wheels with buckets mounted
on them to move water for
irrigation.
• Over 2000 years ago, Archimedes, a
Greek mathematician, invented a
screw pump made of a screw
rotating in a cylinder (now known
as an Archimedes screw). This type
of pump was used to drain and
irrigate the Nile Valley.
Archimedes Screw
12. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• The beginnings of modern plumbing
began in the early 1800s, when
steam engines became capable of
supplying water under pressure
and inexpensive cast iron pipes
could be produced to carry it. Still,
it was considered unhealthy to
bathe.
• In 1835, the Common Council of
Philadelphia nearly banned
wintertime bathing (the ordinance
failed by two votes). Ten years later,
Boston prohibited bathing except
on specific medical advice.
13. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• Finally, it was through observation of
several cholera epidemics in the mid-
1800s that epidemiologists finally
recognized the link between sanitation
and public health. This discovery
provided the thrust for modern water
and sewage systems.
• In 1848, England passed the national
Public Health Act, which later became
a model plumbing code for the world to
follow. It mandated some type of
sanitary disposal in every residence
such as a flushing toilet, a privy, or an
ash pit.
14. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• Drinking water in colonial America came
from streams, rivers, and wells. It was
commonly believed at the time that foul-
tasting mineral water had medicinal value.
• Around the time of the American
Revolution, Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of
the Declaration of Independence and
surgeon general under George Washington,
had the bad fortune of having a well with
horribly tasting water at the site of his
Pennsylvania home.
• Townspeople rushed to his well to get
drinking water in hopes that its medicinal
value would cure ailments. Unfortunately,
when Dr. Rush’s well dried out from
overuse, it was discovered too late that the
well was geologically connected
underground to the doctor’s privy.
15. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• The birth of the plumbing profession in
the Philippines is traced back to the
17th century.
• The Walled City known as Intramuros
was established by the Spaniards as a
model community. The Friar Engineers
who built the government buildings,
residential and other structures
incorporated European standards in
their plumbing installations.
• During the 18th and 19th centuries,
the Filipino plumbers were assigned
the task of maintaining, repairing
and/or remodeling plumbing systems
in all "pueblos" or towns including
churches, convents, and government
buildings.
Intramuros
16. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• PLUMBING took a great leap at the turn of the 20th century with the
arrival of American soldiers, engineers, Thomasite teachers, doctors, and
evangelists.
• Health and hygiene became a priority when epidemics including cholera,
leprosy, schistosomiasis, and other contagious diseases engulfed the
Philippines. Alarmed, Governor-General Harrison issued a letter of
instruction on proper waste disposal in all municipalities.
• Sometime in 1902, the plumbing trade was duly recognized by the
government. The City of Manila was the model community. Master
Plumber John F. Hass became the first Chief of the Division of Plumbing
Construction and Inspection.
17. HISTORY OF PLUMBING
• Modern cities have sophisticated
water delivery and wastewater
treatment systems.
• In buildings, the plumbing system
performs two primary functions:
water supply and waste disposal.
• A complete plumbing arrangement
consists of a water supply system, a
sanitary drainage system, and a
wastewater treatment system.
18. BASIC PRINCIPLES
• Plumbing is defined as the art and science of installing pipes, fixtures
and other apparatus to convey and supply water in building and to
dispose and discharge wastewater and other liquids, gases and other
substances out of buildings in a safe, orderly, healthy, and sanitary way
to ensure the health and sanitation of life and property.
• Plumber is a title given to a person who is skilled in the field of
sanitation.
• Plumbing has two main objectives:
1. To supply water to different parts of the building
2. To remove and discharge human wastes and other substances out of
the building into the public sewer or septic tank.
19. BASIC PRINCIPLES
• Mandatory Requirements for a Drainage System
1. All pipe joints must be well fitted and tightly connected with each other
to prevent leakage of gas and liquid.
2. The drainage pipe should be graded or inclined properly for a
downward gravity flow of water towards the main sewer line or to the
septic tank.
3. The drainage pipe should be provided with adequate cleanout,
accessible for repair in case of stoppage.
4. The drainage system must be provided with a ventilation pipe that will
convey gases to the atmosphere where it can do no harm to human
health.
5. Except for the water closet, each fixture shall be provided with a
suitable trap that prevents the backflow of gases.
20. BASIC PRINCIPLES
• Degrees of Wastewater
1. Storm Water – water from rain
2. Grey Water – from laundries, washbasins, sinks, showers, & bathtubs
3. Black Water – water plus human waste both solid and liquid flushed
