COURSE INTRODUCTION

What is wastewater ?
 Water that has been used in the home, in a business, or as part
of an industrial process. (Oxford Dictionary)
 Water that has been used in washing, flushing, manufacturing
etc. (http://www.dictionary.com)

Wastewater: A burden or A resource ?


 Burden : As it contains a pollution
 Resource : Generally, > 99% fraction is water
WHY LEARN WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT ?

 To transform the “burden” into “resource”

This Requires:
 Engineering/Technological approaches
 Social acceptability
 Financial / economic viability
 Environmental sustainability
CAUSE FOR CONCERN

 Urbanization has encouraged the migration of people from


villages to the urban areas. This has given rise to a number of
environmental problems such as, water supply with desirable
quality and quantity, wastewater generation and its collection,
treatment and disposal.
 In urban areas for domestic and industrial uses the source of
water is generally reservoir, river, lake, and wells. Out of this
total water supplied, generally 60 to 80% contributes as a
wastewater.
 In most of the cities, wastewater is let out partially treated or
untreated and it either percolates into the ground and in turn
contaminates the ground water or it is discharged into the
natural drainage system causing pollution in downstream
water bodies.
