Abstract
The aim of this study is to undertake the design of a water treatment plant adequate in serving a semi-urban area based on a surface water supply system, this will enhance public health by providing safe and portable water to a semi-urban area. The project focuses more on surface water source and the contaminants found in surface water in a semi-urban area. The method used to carry out this project includes; the determination of the population of a semi-urban area, water demand/requirements and characteristics of a surface water source in a semi-urban area. The various design units will be size accordingly to the requirements of a semi-urban area. The result of this work includes complete design of the units in the treatment plant. Adequate design and sizing of the screening chamber, Pre-sedimentation tank, coagulation, flocculation and clarification, filtration and disinfection to contain the need for a semi-urban area. This result helps to improve the knowledge and understanding of the design of a water treatment plant for a surface water source in a semi-urban area
