Air samples, collected in Earle lactalbumen hydrolysate, and wastewater samples were filtered through a 0.45- and 1.2-micron membrane filte...

BACKGROUND Using treated wastewater in agriculture irrigation could be a realistic solution for the shortage of fresh water in Iran, however, it is associated with environmental and health threats; therefore, effluent quality assessment is quite necessary before use. The present study aimed to evaluate the physicochemical and microbial quality of Shiraz wastewater treatment plant effluent for b...

Mosquito breeding within the wastewater irrigation system around the town of Haroonabad in the southern Punjab, Pakistan, was studied from July to September 2000 as part of a wider study of the costs and benefits of wastewater use in agriculture. The objective of this study was to assess the vector-borne human disease risks associated with mosquito species utilizing wastewater for breeding. Mos...

Pakistan, once a water-surplus country, is now a water deficit country. The water availability has decreased from 1,299 m3 per capita in 1996-97 to 1,100 m3 per capita in 2006 and it is projected to less than 700 m3 per capita by 2025. Therefore, search for other non-conventional water resources for irrigation i.e. wastewater, has become important. In Pakistan, domestic and industrial wastewate...

demand for water resources in different parts of the world, necessitate the use of wastewater. in using wastewater the soil health must be considered. this study was carried out at green space zob ahan in the years 1382 to 1385. in this study, the effects of urban and industrial wastewater irrigation on some chemical properties of soil for three years by using five different irrigation treatmen...

shortage of fresh water resources is a major worldly concern. accessibility of water forirrigation purposes is also one of the most important concerns in arid and semiaridregions. this is why treated domestic wastewater is thought of as an important watersource. even following treatment, wastewater may contain a great many kinds ofmicroorganisms hazardous to humans and environment. therefore th...

During alcohol production, large amounts of waste and wastewater are produced. These may have a considerable environmental impact by polluting both water bodies and soil, by causing an adverse climatic effect and odour nuisance. Due to the high concentration of organic matter, both distillery waste and wastewater at the same time do have a great nutrient and energy potential that can be utilise...
