Water point

Brief introduction

A water supply point (hereinafter referred to as PWS) plays an important role in the life of any person. It is a place where a person has access to clean water needed for drinking, cooking, hygiene and other needs. In this article we will look at the main characteristics of PVA and discuss its features. Our goal is to understand how PVA works, how it ensures water safety and quality, and the advantages and disadvantages of different types of PVA.

What is a water point?

A water supply point is a *complex of structures*, including pumping stations, water towers, reservoirs, pipelines, which provide a stable supply of water to the consumer under the required pressure. It is also a place of permanent storage and distribution of water resources. Typically, water supply points are located near populated areas or urban areas. Components of the water pumping station The main element of the water pumping station is the water pumping station or oil pumping station. It contains pumps, equipment for water treatment (filters, purifiers), tanks for storing it and pipelines for delivering it to consumers. The point includes a reservoir system and a pipeline complex. From the outside, this complex is protected from natural influences. Typically, reinforced concrete structures or walls that need to be insulated are used for this. Pipelines and communications run inside the building. The PVS also includes a dispatch or central point, which controls the operation of the point and monitors the state of the system.

Sewage treatment facilities are a place for collection, mechanical and biological treatment of wastewater emanating from buildings. These facilities collect, treat and treat surface runoff and stormwater runoff. They ensure the purification of drinking and industrial water to hygienic standards, which allows it to be reused in the water supply system of a populated area. If the main water supply structures fail, backup structures or nearby water supply systems are immediately used to provide residents with water. The number of PVS directly depends on the population in the locality. The larger the population, the more PVAs are built. If the city is large and has about half a million or more than half a million people living in it, then several PWSs with an area of ​​40 hectares or more are built from this city. Most of these water treatment plants do not distribute water throughout the city; these institutions provide drinking water for residential and industrial purposes. The remaining PWSs are concentrated in the areas of servicing the population's water supply networks with the connection of residential buildings. Houses that are directly connected to wells are provided with drinking water all year round. For seasonal estates, pumping wells are built to supply them with water during periods when the centralized water supply is turned off.
