ارزیابی کیفیت فاضلاب رودخانه خام برای آبیاری

Aurangabad being one of the fastest developing cities in the entire continent, there is a rapid increase in population and industries. This sudden growth also comes with sudden increase of wastewater production from both residential and industrial sectors. Up until 2015-2016 there have been hardly any operational sewage treatment plants in Aurangabad this led to dumping of raw sewage in rainwater drains, kham river being the major river basin of Aurangabad carries most of the sewage of the city. This study was conducted to Assess the Quality of water in the drain, the Assessment was done from October 2015 to March 2016 (6 months). Major water quality parameter like pH, BOD, TSS, TDS, EC, Ca, Mg, Cl, B and SO4, water quality Index was also computed. The result showed that the stream is heavily polluted throughout the process and unfit for human contact. Regular treatment of waste water was required before discharging into the stream to make the stream water less hazardous for Soil or human contact.
