Effect of Treated Sewage Water on Soil Characteristics and Agricultural Produce of Chaka Block of Allahabad District
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The study was conducted in Chaka Block of Allahabad District, the project area has source of water from treated sludge irrigated water from Ganga Treatment Plant (60 MLD, Naini). The area is situated on the right bank of Yamuna River in South of Allahabad City, which is located at 25.8 N latitude and 81.5 E longitudes. Soil and water samples were collected at different intervals (November to March, days) depths (0-15, 15-30, 30-45, 45- 60 cm, respectively) of soil columns. The analysis of the values in tables was done by the statically. Design (Two way analyses without replication). It was found that the higher concentration for the soil parameters were in the surface of the soil layer 0-15 cm and then decrease due to different depths of soil layer up to the 45-60 cm. It was observed that the sewage irrigated water at the farmer's field was taken during different intervals as though it was required for irrigating purpose in the farmer's field. The higher concentration for the heavy metals was found for Pb 0.43 mg/L, Cd 0.15 mg/L, Ni 0.21 mg/L. The values were found to be under the permissible limit according to guidelines.
