Abstract
Wastewater Collection Network (WWCN) is the pipe system used to dispose of wastewater
or convey wastewater to treatment facilities. WWCN is a very valuable infrastructure asset that
has a significant improvement on public health and the environment as appose to other
wastewater disposal methods (e.g., cesspits).
This Graduation Project (GP) is to improve the situation of the wastewater disposal system
in Burqa village. In the village, cesspits are being used to dispose wastewater. This, in turn,
can potentially pollute groundwater resources besides the relatively elevated construction and
frequent discharging cost of such systems.
This GP aims to design a WWCN to serve the current and future population of Burqa for the
next 30 years.
To achieve the proposed objective, all relevant data are collected from different potential
sources (e.g., the village council, PCBS, PWA, etc.). The collected data is analyzed and
manipulated using appropriate software (e.g., GIS, Excel, etc.) to come up with a proper
input data for the design of the WWCN, SewerCAD is then used for the design of the WWCN
given the acceptable standards and specifications
