Waste water Quality of Bhopal City with Special Reference to Sewage Treatment Plant
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Chemistry and Environment (IJRCE) - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The Bhopal city is rapidly growing whereby the average growth of pupation per annual about is 6 %. The increasing population has resulted in many problems, most important being producing waste water. The authorities are not able to keep pace with the rising demand of treating water. The Bhopal city is most depending on lentic water resources for the potable water and the storage of water depends on rains. Unlike surface water is considered as any safe source of water and therefore often used without any treatment. However the seepage of contaminants from domestic sewage and metal contaminants from industries causes serious health problems. The present study was conducted to determine the wastewater quality of inlet of Sewage Treatment Plant of Kotra and Badwai. Waste water samples were collected from municipal waste water treatment plant Kotra and Badwai sewage treatment plant (STP). Samples were analyzed using pollution indicating parameters such as pH, turbidity, DO, BOD, COD and using standard methods. The results of analysis of waste water indicate that it is highly polluted therefore recommended to treatment and management of the raw / waste water properly for reuse.
