Sludge production
Treatment of wastewater results in the
production of sewage sludge.Due to the
presence of heavy metals in wastewater, it
is sometimes feared that agricultural use
may lead to accumulation of heavy metals
in soils.
Disadvantages
Health risks for the irrigators and communities in
prolonged contact with untreated wastewater and
Health risks for the consumers of vegetables
irrigated with wastewater
Contamination of groundwater, especially with
nitrates
buildup of chemical pollutants in the soil,
especially heavy metals
creation of habitats for disease vectors such as
mosquitoes in peri-urban areas.
Agricultural
Industrial
Groundwater Recharge:either by
infiltration through the ground surface or
direct injection into aquifers.
Untreated
Wastewater reuse.
1. Untreated and partially treated wastewater
released from the major cities of India like
New Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata,
Hyderabad, Ahmedabad,etc., is mainly used
for irrigation of the following crops:
Cereals
Vegetables
Flowers
Avenue trees and parks
Fodder crops:
Implications of Wastewater
Reuse
There are both positive and
negative implications of
wastewater reuse.
The positive implications include:
employment generation, food
security for urban and peri-urban
poor farmers,
reliable supply of irrigation water
and the recycling of nutrients in
wastewater.
