What is wastewater?
Wastewater, is any water that has been adversely affected in quality
by anthropogenic influence. Municipal wastewater is usually conveyed in a combined
sewer or sanitary sewer, and treated at a wastewater treatment plant. It may of two

Industrial wastewater covers
contaminated anthropogenic industrial or
commercial activities prior to its release
into the environment or its re-use.

Biodiversity Quality
Many of the wastewater treatment and
collection facilities are now old and worn, and
require further improvement, repair or
replacement to maintain their useful life;
The character and quantity of contaminants
presenting problems today are far more
complex than those that presented challenges in
the past;
Population growth is taxing many existing
wastewater treatment systems and creating a
need for new plants;
Farm runoff and increasing urbanization
provide additional sources of pollution not
controlled by wastewater treatment; and
One third of new development is served by
decentralized systems (e.g., septic systems) as
population migrates further from metropolitan
areas.

production rate .
Biohydrogen : Future Energy Source for
Society
Hydrogen has been identified as a clean energy carrier and is
found to be one potential alternative to fossil fuel, can be
potentially harvested from waste water.
Utilization of wastewater as fermentable substrate and
feasibility to operate with mixed culture at ambient
temperature and pressure make this process less energy
intensive and more environmental friendly.

Advantages
•Production of biodiesel from biomass can provide non-
polluting and environment friendly source of energy
•Microalgae, third generation feedstock and are suitable
agent for conversion to biodiesel as they synthesize TAGs
(triglycerides).
• A great source carbon sequestration approach.
• Effective in mitigate concentration of CO2, if algal biomass
is used as feedstock.
Disadvantages
•Transesterification process is complicated as effective
catalysts are not available.
•Initial cost is high.
•Algae have higher biomass productivity than the crop plant
in terms of land area required for biomass generation and
lower cost of growth.
Opportunities and Mutual Future
Benefits from wastewater treatment
Opportunities from Wastewater
Treatment
Irrigation Aquaculture Green and clean
environment
• It has been reported that irrigation with sewage or sewage
mixed with industrial effluents results in saving of 25 to 50
per cent of N and P fertilizer and leads to 15-27 % higher
crop productivity, over the normal waters (Anonymous,
2004).
• It is estimated that in India about 73,000 ha of (Strauss and
Blumenthal, 1990) per-urban agriculture is subject to
wastewater irrigation.
• It has been estimated that in India sewage waters can
annually irrigate about 1 Mha (Sengupta, 2008) to 1.5 M-ha
of land area and have a potential to contribute about one
million tonnes of nutrients and 130 million man-days of
employment (Minhas and Samra, 2004).
Aquaculture:
The East Kolkata sewage fisheries are the largest
single wastewater use system in aquaculture in the
world.
Agroforestry:
In the villages near Hubli-Dharwad in
Karnataka (India), plantation trees viz., sapota,
guava, coconut, mango, areca nut, teak, neem,
banana, ramphal, curry leaf, pomegranate, lemon,
galimara, mulberry, etc. are irrigated with
wastewater.
Wise and immediate investment will generate multiple future benefits
1. Reduce the volume and
extent of water pollution
through preventative
practices;
2. Treat polluted water using
appropriate technologies and
techniques for return to the
environment;
3. Where feasible safely reuse
and recycle wastewater
thereby conserving water
and nutrients;
4. Provide a platform for the
development of innovative
technologies and
management practices.
Tackle immediate consequences
1. Countries must adopt a multi-sectoral approach to
wastewater management as a matter of urgency,
incorporating principles of ecosystem-based
management from the watersheds into the sea,
connecting sectors that will reap immediate benefits
from better wastewater management.
2. Planning processes should provide an enabling
environment for innovation, including at the
community level but require government oversight
and public management.
3. Innovative financing of appropriate wastewater
infrastructure should incorporate design, construction,
operation, maintenance, upgrading and/or
decommissioning. Financing should take account of
the fact that there are important livelihood
opportunities in improving wastewater treatment
processes, whilst the private sector can have an
important role in operational efficiency under
appropriate public guidance.
Skill Development for Better Future
Our engagement in skill development sector was triggered by the increasing demand
of productive manpower for the jobs created as a result of our Clusters Initiative.
Improved sanitation and wastewater management are central to
poverty reduction and improved human health
If proper water and wastewater management scaled
up appropriately they will generate social,
economic and environmental dividends far
exceeding original investments for years to come.

  • 42. Opportunities and Mutual Future Benefits from wastewater treatment
  • 43. Opportunities from Wastewater Treatment Irrigation Aquaculture Green and clean environment
  • 44. • It has been reported that irrigation with sewage or sewage mixed with industrial effluents results in saving of 25 to 50 per cent of N and P fertilizer and leads to 15-27 % higher crop productivity, over the normal waters (Anonymous, 2004). • It is estimated that in India about 73,000 ha of (Strauss and Blumenthal, 1990) per-urban agriculture is subject to wastewater irrigation. • It has been estimated that in India sewage waters can annually irrigate about 1 Mha (Sengupta, 2008) to 1.5 M-ha of land area and have a potential to contribute about one million tonnes of nutrients and 130 million man-days of employment (Minhas and Samra, 2004).
  • 45. Aquaculture: The East Kolkata sewage fisheries are the largest single wastewater use system in aquaculture in the world. Agroforestry: In the villages near Hubli-Dharwad in Karnataka (India), plantation trees viz., sapota, guava, coconut, mango, areca nut, teak, neem, banana, ramphal, curry leaf, pomegranate, lemon, galimara, mulberry, etc. are irrigated with wastewater.
  • 46. Wise and immediate investment will generate multiple future benefits 1. Reduce the volume and extent of water pollution through preventative practices; 2. Treat polluted water using appropriate technologies and techniques for return to the environment; 3. Where feasible safely reuse and recycle wastewater thereby conserving water and nutrients; 4. Provide a platform for the development of innovative technologies and management practices.
  • 47. Tackle immediate consequences 1. Countries must adopt a multi-sectoral approach to wastewater management as a matter of urgency, incorporating principles of ecosystem-based management from the watersheds into the sea, connecting sectors that will reap immediate benefits from better wastewater management. 2. Planning processes should provide an enabling environment for innovation, including at the community level but require government oversight and public management. 3. Innovative financing of appropriate wastewater infrastructure should incorporate design, construction, operation, maintenance, upgrading and/or decommissioning. Financing should take account of the fact that there are important livelihood opportunities in improving wastewater treatment processes, whilst the private sector can have an important role in operational efficiency under appropriate public guidance.
  • 48. Skill Development for Better Future Our engagement in skill development sector was triggered by the increasing demand of productive manpower for the jobs created as a result of our Clusters Initiative.
  • 49. Improved sanitation and wastewater management are central to poverty reduction and improved human health If proper water and wastewater management scaled up appropriately they will generate social, economic and environmental dividends far exceeding original investments for years to come.
