This slide presentation outlines a project to create a feasibility study for a reverse osmosis watertreatment plant using brackish water dischargedfrom Ca?o Tiburones near City of Arecibo, Puerto Rico. The feasibility study included: hydrologic availability of water;hydraulic connections to existing finished waterdistribution/transmission mains;raw water quality;treatability of raw water supply;environmental and socioeconomic factors; proposed facilities including plant siting andprocess flow; and,capital and O&M cost estimate. Topics covered include: proposed water treatment plant (WTP) sites;water supply issues and raw water piping routes;water quality;treatment processes;finished water connections and piping routes;concentrate disposal points and piping routes;capital and operational cost estimates;environmental impacts; and, implementation plan. Includes tables, figures.
