Quantification and Characterization of Grey Water- A Case Study of Shraddha Nagar, Pusad
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Water is the resource that has no alternative. Water is the key element of complex interdependent natural system. Water scarcity has emerged as one of the most pressing problem in the twenty first century. Water scarcity is increasing day- byday with the increase in population and decrease in rainfall. There is a need to critically look at alternative sources to ensure water availability. Rapid industrialization and urbanization has caused India to face water crisis since it has only four percent of the world’s water resources. International water Management Institute (IWMI) predicts that by 2025, one in three Indians will suffer from water scarcity problems. In order to resolve the crisis, India has to look for alternative water resources which may include rain water harvesting, grey water, sewage reuse and desalination. Contamination of surface and groundwater is rampant in rural urban India with wastewater entering fresh water bodies or seeping in to groundwater. An integrated approach is needed to manage the water and wastewater treatment so that water supply is kept clean and wastewater is recycled for beneficial use in agriculture and industry. Shraddha nagar is the well-developed area of Pusad city. In this study an attempt has been made to analyze grey water from kitchen and bathroom considering source of supply as a tap water and bore well water in spring, winter & summer seasons. To carry out the research work a laboratory scale Integrated Model was prepared consisting of screening, sedimentation, filter-I, Filter-II, aeration and disinfection units which is economical and good alternative to treat grey water in residential rural area. Shraddha nagar, Pusad has been considered for the study. The results of study reveal that the total 6210 liter per day grey water was generated from a sample of 16 houses in Shraddha nagar Pusad. The performance of the model for treatment of kitchen and bathroom grey water showed in terms of deduction competency of water pollutants as follows: Bathroom: TSS (60%), TDS (71.43%), COD (73.13%), BOD (75.71%), Total hardness (24.44%).Turbidity (73.33%) Kitchen: TSS (81.74%), TDS (70.0%), COD (81.0%), BOD (81.47%), Total hardness (27.08%).Turbidity (70.58%) Hence, it was found that the media is effective in the treatment of grey water. This eco-friendly technology could be a good alternative to treat grey water in residential rural area.
