    Hi,

    Let me correct your concept, in septic tank detention period off 24 hours is considered. In this case,

    the rate of flow of influent= rate of flow of effluent.

    Septic tank is to be designed in such a way that see wait is retained in the tank for 24 hours and all the biological decomposition in the absence of air that is an aerobic bacteria takes place and breaks the soil which living a very small quantity of soil which is commonly called as sludge which settles at the bottom. And the clearwater which out from the tank is known as effluent.

    As you asked in question the 30 minutes is regarding the washing time of the tank.

    Hope you get clarity.

    Eidograph has the simple function of copying maps and plots to a different scale. It works on the same principles as a pantograph with the only difference of mechanism. The pantograph uses linkages arranged in a parallelogram while the eidograph might have either a string and pulley system or parallelogram linkages.

    There are two pens attached. If you move the primary pin on the map, after setting a desired scale, the secondary pen draws the same map scaled to the scale you set.

    In simple words, work breakdown structure (WBS) is a breakdown of the project to smaller parts or components for deliverable oriented. It is a term related to project management and systems engineering.

    It is a simplifying tool for a particular task of the project.

    Following are the purpose of the work  breakdown structure:

    1. To recognise the distinct nature of large activity or project
    2. Used for estimating the cost and time required for a project
    3. Control and monitor the tasks
    4. Used for controlling and give unique Identity to each task.

    Following are types of WBS:

    1. Phase Oriented WBS
    2. Deliverable oriented WBS

    Following are some effective guidelines for WBS

    1. The internal in trim and external work of the project should be identified and must all the deliverables that have to be completed.
    2. Using a top-down approach in the project is divided into sub-projects and this continues until the task can be estimated. This approach is popular because of great accuracy.
    3. Level of details
    4. Symmetry absence.
    5. Details of level

    Thanks for the answer. I agree that there are other combinations like blue and white etc, but is there any specific reason for mostly using green and blue along with white?
