    Difference between Black Water and greywater:


    Black Water:

    • Blackwater is the best water from bathrooms and toilets that contains faecal matter and urine.

    • Waterproof kitchens and dishwashers are also considered Black Water due to the contamination of pathogens.

    • It is also referred to as she waits for groundwater and can carry diseases and bacteria both of which could be harmful.

    Treatment of blackwater:

    • The biological or chemical treatment and infection are required for treating Black Water.

    Greywater:

    • Greywater is the best water that comes from sinks, washing machines, bathtubs and showers.

    • Greywater contains a very low level of contamination and making it easier to treat and process.

    • Recycled greywater is commonly used in irrigation and constructed wetlands as long as no harmful chemicals are present.

    Treatment of Greywater

    • Greywater can be reused in cartoons with little or no treatment subsurface irrigation system to evenly spread water around in the garden.

    • This method is very safe for treated greywater.

    Thank you.

    Seasoning of stone :

    Generally, the action of having various changes in different seasons on the stone which are drying and wetting of stone which gradually forms the crack in stones which leads to the action of weathering action and forms inorganic small size materials is called seasoning of stone.

    Seasoning refers to both drying and wetting cycles on one hand, and airing of stone, on the other hand. Dehydration during seasoning is more or less an irreversible process. Thus seasoning applied mainly to soft limestone; hard limestone seems to less affected by it. Stones have natural moisture, known as quarry sap. This quarry sap renders the stone blocks comparatively soft and makes them easy for working. Immediately after quarrying, a stone is soft and is easy to work with it so sized and primarily dressed, but polishing requires a fully seasoned and hardened stone.

    The importance of expansion joints on concrete bridge deck is that they are designed to allow for continuous traffic between structures while accommodating movement, shrinkage and temperature variations on reinforced and prestressed concrete, composite and steel structures.

    To safeguard against crack formation, skin reinforcement is designed on the side faces of deep beams to limit the formation of flexural crack widths. Though the principal function of skin reinforcement is to control crack width, it may be employed for providing bending resistance of the section.
