WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT PLANNING, DESIGNING AND CONSTRUCTION

OF STPS INCLUDING USE OF RECYCLE WATER AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE AND EFFLUENTS

Water is no longer a resource of unlimited availability. Scarcity of water fit for human consumption to meet various needs of the society is likely to be experience with the situation becoming more challenging in due course of time. Technological advancement in the field of environmental engineering has made available several methods of waste water management. Some of the methods are more commercial patents emerging from advancement of conventional techniques. The method of treatment ultimately adopted should not only meet the regulatory requirements but should also result in maximum use of end products.

The endeavor should be to adopted modern and cost effective technologies and equipment to achieve value for money & maximum user satisfaction and also adoption of the technology which ensures its ultimate integration with the existing system. Basic considerations to be kept in mind before planing STPs should include quantity of sewage, its origin, degree of treatment, design period, population to be served, method of effluent disposal/utilization and possibility of recycle/reuse, maintenance. A large number of technologies on the above said subject are available in the open market which have inherent advantages and disadvantages. It is prudent that deep studies in this regard is done to adopt the technology which is best suited for a particular region to suit the user requirements.
