today as freshwater resources become scarcer, wastewater use is a major incentive option for conserving and expanding available water supplies. the aim of this research was to investigate the impact of normal irrigation water (well water), chemical fertilizer, and treated urban wastewater effluent on yield quantity and quality of broccoli under micro irrigation system. the accumulation of chemi...

in order to evaluate the effect of some qualitative traits of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) under irrigation water quality and different types of fertilizers, a field experiment arranged as split plot in rcbd design with three replications at research station of shahrekord university in 2013. the main factor include irrigation with urban wastewater at 2-4 leaf stage, 8-12 leaf stage and irrigat...

Studies were undertaken to assess the impact of wastewater/sludge disposal (metals and pesticides) from sewage treatment plants (STPs) in Jajmau, Kanpur (5 MLD) and Dinapur, Varanasi (80 MLD), on health, agriculture and environmental quality in the receiving/application areas around Kanpur and Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh, India. The raw, treated and mixed treated urban wastewater samples were col...

Conventional and alternative sanitation concepts are compared in terms of their ecological performance via the methodology of LCA. Alternative scenarios include urine separation, faeces composting and digestion, and greywater treatment in a soil filter or technical plant. Urine and faeces are used as secondary fertilizers in agriculture after adequate treatment. Data for Life Cycle Inventory is...

Within the twin city of Hubli-Dharwad approximately 60 million l of wastewater is generated every day: this flows, untreated, from sewers and wastewater nallas (open drains) into the natural watercourses that flow into the city’s hinterland (Hunshal et al. 1997). In the semi-arid climate, where the summer temperatures exceed 35 degrees centigrade and the monsoon rains are erratic and unreliable...

Waste streams such as municipal wastewater and animal manure contain organic materials and nutrients that can be converted and recovered for bioenergy and renewable fertilizer production. In the first part of this thesis, the anaerobic co-digestion of dairy manure with kitchen waste and chicken fat was studied for the purpose of increasing biogas production. The methane yields of co-digestion s...
