because of water shortage in arid and semi-arid regions, reuse of wastewater and treated effluents for agricultural irrigation has become an essential matter now. while these kinds of water contain a lot of nutrients such as nitrogen, by using them we could be able to increase the soil fertility and decrease both the chemical nutrient consumption and the costs of agricultural production. howeve...

abstract recharge of aquifers by using wastewater, is one of the important and applicable ways for reusing this valuable water resource, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. as the necessity of local practices for finding the proper management strategies and optimum use of recharge systems (conforming to climate, soil, etc.), a preliminary study was carried out. three physical models were ...

The impact of untreated and partially treated domestic wastewater on rivers and community water sources continues to raise health and safety concerns. The organisms of concern in domestic wastewater include enteric bacteria, viruses, and protozoan cysts. Table 1 summarizes the most common microorganisms found in domestic wastewater and the types of human diseases associated with them. Based on ...

In Japan, the coverage rate of domestic wastewater treatment among the population was 82.4% at the end of FY 2006, but the coverage rate of domestic wastewater treatment in areas with a population of 50,000 or less remains low (about 65%). In addition, because a smallscale treatment system requiring low construction and maintenance costs is sought because of municipalities’ financial difficulti...

this document provides feasibility study of using treated domestic wastewater in concrete mixing. today, concrete is one of the most important construction materials. from first time that concert was used in construction materials, always the drinkable water used for concrete mixing water. domestic wastewater contains about 400 ppm of organic materials. after the treatment of wastewater, concen...

Contaminated phosphorus in aquatic environments is a critical problem. This research studied on removal of phosphorus from domestic wastewater by using Echinodorus cordifolius augmented with Pseudomonas putida and Flavobacterium oryzihabitans. Plants treated phosphorus from domestic wastewater for 20 test runs continuously, the effect of phosphorus treatment by microorganisms in domestic wastew...

Objective: To assess the performance of SBR to treat three different types of wastewater from domestic, hospital, slaughterhouse and investigate the kinetic rates of active biomass. Mass balance calculation of COD, TKN and TP was further performed to explain the mechanisms of the biological nutrient removals processed in the SBR system. The measured kinetic rates were in turn used to evaluate t...

To preserve environmental and human health, improved treatment processes are needed to reduce nutrients, microbes, and emerging chemical contaminants from domestic wastewater prior to discharge into the environment. Electrocoagulation (EC) treatment is increasingly used to treat industrial wastewater; however, this technology has not yet been thoroughly assessed for its potential to reduce conc...

Currently in many cities and rural areas of Vietnam, wastewater is discharged to the environment without any treatment, which emits considerable amount of greenhouse gas (GHG), particularly methane. In this study, four GHG emission scenarios were examined, as well as the baseline scenario, in order to verify the potential of GHG reduction from domestic wastewater with adequate treatment facilit...
