The given answer is right. Intake must never be located the d/s or in the vicinity of the point of disposal of waste water.

Intake should be nearer to treatment plant for easy convience.

As far as possible, the site should be near the treatment plant so that the cost of conveying water to the city is less.

The intake must be located in the purer zone of the source to draw best quality water from the source, thereby reducing load on the treatment plant.

The intake must never be located at the downstream or in the vicinity of the point of disposal of wastewater.

The site should be such as to permit greater withdrawal of water, if required at a future date.

The intake must be located at a place from where it can draw water even during the driest period of the year.

The intake site should remain easily accessible during floods and should not get flooded. Moreover, the flood waters should not be concentrated in the vicinity of the intake.
