Design Brief:



 Todesign a water system
 that can be used to recycle
 grey water at Vigyan Ashram.
To do this we must answer the
  ‘What,Who,Why,When,How’ questions;
  What is the project?
  Who is the project for?
  Why are we making the project?
  When does the project have to be finished by?
  How are we going to do the project?
But first... Lets look at water
in general terms...
Introduction to Water
   Water Supply
   Sanitation
   Water Hygiene
   Waste Management

       Why do I need to
       learn about water?!

              Lets find out!
Water Supply
What do we need water for?

             Drinking
             Cooking
             Washing
          Feeding animals
             Growing
              crops
Water Sanitation
Sanitation...
Good hygiene               Prevents
                        transmission of
                            disease


                What is it?
  Human waste            Removal of Dirty
    removal                 Water
Why do we need to remove
 waste water?
                                                    Malaria
                  Cholera &
                  many more!




                               Contaminates water
                                    supplies

                                                     Breeding Grounds for
Breeding Grounds for flies                               mosquitoes



                                   Dirty
                                   water
Soak Pits can be used with latrines

                                            Septic Tank
                            Pre-treatment          Soak Pit
                              Required
 Latrine



                                                     Soakaway

            Watertight
           settling tank
                                       Liquids

                           Solids
Septic Tanks
       The tank needs periodic
       cleaning to remove scum and
       built up sludge about every 3
       years.




      Waste water needs to remain
      in tank for minimum 24 hrs to
      ensure it settles
Water Hygiene
Water Hygiene
   Why?
     Good water hygiene can improve health and
     wellbeing
   What?
     Scrubbing your hand with soap for more
      than 20s can reduce risk of illness by up to
      90%.
     Does anyone know the correct hand
      washing method?!
Waste Management
Why is waste management
  important?

Protects human health
                                        Reduce environment pollution




 Improves quality of life
                                           Make rural areas clean


                   Promotes recycling
                   and reuse-save
                   resources

                                         Convert bio waste into energy
Design Brief:



 Todesign a water system
                      grey
 that can be used to recycle
 water at Vigyan Ashram.
Water terminology!
   White Water:
     Portable, fresh water than can be used for drinking


   Grey Water:
     Left over water from kitchen
     sink, bathroom, showers, hand basins, washing
     machine etc.


   Black Water:
     Sewage or Wastewater: Any water containing human
     waste.
ACTIVIT
Y
Split into 4 groups
 Decide on a team name
 Choose a team leader
Survey
 Survey how water is used in Vigyan
  Ashram
 Use a range of tools to survey:
     Photographs & videos
     Draw maps
     Sketches


   Be thorough – we want to have all the
    information about water supply and
    wastewater at Vigyan Ashram.
Photographs
   Think about the photograph you are
    taking:
     Describe what is happening in the picture?
      Why?
     If someone else who had never been to
      Vigyan Ashram looked at photos – what
      would they see?


   The camera can be borrowed for today
    but must be returned by 5pm.
Draw maps
 Water moves, map where it comes from
  and where it goes.
 Draw a plan of the whole ashram in your
  sketchbooks.
 Map water usage. E.g:
                                   Anan’s
     Cow shed
 Boys’s Accommodation                           Classroom
                                                   Guest house
    Engineering
    Energy & Environment
                           Ama’s
      Foodlab                               Workshop
    Office/                                       Water Pump
    Kitchen
Storage
 Take a measuring tape with you and
  note measurements of tanks.
 Also use measuring tape to work out
  how long pipes are between storage and
  usage.
 Take particularly detailed measurements
  around kitchen sinks and water storage
  for kitchen.
Answer the following questions:
 Where do we get our drinking water?
 Where is it stored?
 Where does the wastewater from all the
  toilets go?
 Where does the water from the sinks
  and bathrooms go?
 Where would be good to use grey water
  recycling?
But first plan how you are
going to conduct the survey as
a group...
Homework
   By tomorrow:
     Complete group water assessment
     Also... write down the stakeholders involved
      in this project and their needs....
     If you would like assistance I will be in office.
The
end!
