The present study identifies the change in drinking water quality and the observation of storage containers under different conditions. Drinkable water from three different resources viz. tap water, aquaguard water, and hand pump water were stored separately in three different types of storage containers under the observation period 30 days. Plastic bottles, steel jugs, and clay pots are used for this purpose. Water samples collected from different resources of drinking water are stored in different types of storage vessels and analyzed in the summer and rainy season after 30 days. The water quality parameters, such as TDS, EC, pH, Nitrate, DO, Total Hardness, were subjected to observation. The results obtained from this study indicate that the clay pot is found perfect among all types of storage vessels for storing drinking water for a long duration because it shows almost negligible deterioration in the drinking water characteristics.
In the modern time, where growth is the keyword in everyone's life and the natural resources are exhausted continuously by the man kind including the land resource, the ground improvement is becoming the need of the hour, especially civil engineers, for areas consisting of soft soils. The most economical and feasible solution seems to be the use of granular piles (GP) in such cases, which are normally composed of boulders, sand etc. In the present paper a comparative analysis of a group of three and four partially stiffened GPs is presented revealing the comparison between rigorous and superposition methods for settlement interaction factor for floating group of piles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
