| Title of the article | Some aspects of the drinking water supply system of Kazan |
| Abstract. | The main source of drinking water in Kazan is the Volga River. Water quality, affected by the creation of the Kuibyshev reservoir as well as human impact, has changed significantly. Water treatment technology, which was designed according to the conditions that were at the beginning, today is outdated and ineffective. Besides city water supply system does not meet the regulatory requirements for safety in emergency situations in mind due to low use of groundwater. Water supply system of the city is characterized by great physical deterioration, high accident rate and high water loss. Corrosion and fouling of pipes reduced their capacity, increased secondary contamination of water during transportation as well as the cost of pumping. Perspective plan for developing existing system is the establishment of annular water supply system of the city which will combine the existing Volga intake plant from surface water and groundwater intake plant «Stolbishche» that is currently being designed. Plumbing ring will cover the whole city which will consist of 15 water supply knots. Water treatment technology of the existing sewage treatment plant needs to be modernized for increasing its performance up to 630 m3/day, also processing unit for water and precipitation should be constructed. Cover the deficit of drinking water systems and increase the use of groundwater in the drinking water supply system of the city is planned by putting into operation water intake system for underground water of the Stolbische deposit with performance 200 m3/day. |
