CLEAN WATER

In most towns, the water people drink comes from either a well, a river or a reservoir (normally a local lake). The water is treated in a water treatment plant to remove sediment and bacteria. The output from the water treatment plant is clear, germ-free water. Sounds simple doesn't it?

Hiring a water resources engineer from WK Dickson will help to ensure access to clean safe drinking water from design through construction for the water intakes, the water treatment plants and the network of pipes that convey water to your tap.

The increasing complexity of water-related projects requires more innovative, customized engineering solutions for clients. Water resources are coming under increasing pressure that must be addressed by competent professionals.

Problems include growing demand, declining quality, aging infrastructure, and increasing competition for limited resources. Our engineers meet these challenges of designing, evaluating, and promoting appropriate technology.

Areas of expertise include:

  • Water Supply Treatment and Distribution
  • Hydraulic Analysis
  • Plant and Facility Design
  • Water System Evaluation
  • Storage Tanks (ground level and elevated)
  • Pumping and Booster Stations
  • Raw Water Lagoons and Reservoirs
  • Groundwater Investigations
  • Site Assessments
  • Hydraulic Computer Modeling

Water towers are tall to provide pressure. Each foot of height provides 0.43 PSI (pounds per square Inch) of pressure. A typical municipal water supply runs at between 50 and 100 PSI.

There's a whole lot of water on Earth! Estimated at 326 million-trillion gallons (that's 21 zeros) of the stuff can be found on our planet.

Water is the only substance that is able to exist on earth in all of its physical states: solid, liquid and gas.
