On 14.03.2026 our civil department First year students visited the Water Treatment Plant in Nagercoil to observe and learn about the processes involved in treating raw water to make it safe for consumption. The visit provided hands-on insight into key stages such as coagulation, sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. We saw how chemicals like alum and chlorine are used to remove impurities and kill pathogens, and observed the operation of sedimentation tanks, filters, and quality testing procedures. The plant combines traditional and modern techniques, ensuring efficient water purification for the local community. This visit enhanced our understanding of water treatment technologies, water quality standards, and the critical role of clean water in public health. The primary goal was to provide first-year Civil Engineering students with practical exposure to large-scale water purification processes. This visit aimed to bridge the gap between theoretical environmental engineering concepts and real-world infrastructure management. The visit was an enriching experience for the budding engineers of RCET. It highlighted the vital role Civil Engineers play in public health and urban planning. The department extends its gratitude to the plant authorities for their cooperation and detailed explanations.
