Question

Discuss the issues involved in the location and design of a water treatment plant for a modern city?

Answer 1

Modern or not, you have to be at or near the source of water and it helps to be uphill from the city so that gravity can take over for at least some of the pumping. You need a fair amount of land for the treatment, so it helps to be in an area where land is cheap. Zoning may also be a factor.
