Water pollution
Sewage treatment plants (STPs) can help prevent water pollution by removing harmful bacteria and organic wastes from water through three treatment steps before discharging into lakes and rivers. The primary treatment step removes large particles through screens and sedimentation. In secondary treatment, bacteria break down organic sewage waste aerobically. Tertiary treatment further purifies the water through nitrogen stripping, carbon absorption, and chlorination to remove chemicals. Eutrophication can be reduced by treating wastes to limit excess bacterial and algal growth from nutrients. Water recycling fills domestic and agricultural wastes in tanks to allow bacteria to feed on organic matter and purify the water for irrigation or power generation.

Marine pollution is caused by human activities that introduce waste into the ocean directly or indirectly. Waste enters the ocean through pipes discharging municipal waste and sewage, agricultural runoff of pesticides and fertilizers, petroleum and oils washed from roads into waterways, offshore oil extraction and accidents that release toxic substances from ships. This pollution reduces oxygen levels in the water, releases toxic compounds, and harms marine life through effects like clogging gills or reducing birds' ability to regulate body temperature. Treatment plants can help by removing waste and reducing pollution load through primary, secondary, and advanced treatment methods.
CONVENTIONAL METHOD – WASTE WATER TREATMENT.pptx
Water is a precious resource and without it life is not possible on earth
Water is getting polluted day by day due to excessive and careless use so the percent of available drinking water is reducing
There are many ways which causes water pollution and the effects of it are very harmful for all living and non-living objects
In general, sewage contains dissolved solids, suspended solids, nutrients (N, P), sulphate, chloride and heavy metals (Fe, Cu, Co, Zn, Pb, Ni), bacteria and viruses.
This 0.1% contains organic matter, microorganisms and inorganic compounds.
Of the solids present in sewage, 70% are organic and 30% are inorganic in nature.
The organic fraction contains proteins (60%), carbohydrates (20%) and fats (10%).
The inorganic fraction contains grit, salts and metals.
The Sewage Treatment Process essentially includes three stages. What are the three stages of sewage treatment and How does each stage work?
The three stages can be divided into primary, secondary, and Tertiary. In each step, water is purified to the next level to access clean water for humans and the environment.
1.This stage essentially includes the process of sedimentation. The water is held in the large sedimentary or rainwater tanks where the settleable solids are removed. Since the sedimentation tanks work on the principle of gravity, the solids settle at the bottom, and the lighter solids float in the tanks. Anyhow, let's move forward to stage 2 of secondary treatment. After the sludge settles at the bottom, the water is then released for its secondary treatment.
2.In this process, waste is broken down by aerobic bacteria and incorporated into the wastewater system.
3. Tertiary treatment is also known as polishing and disinfecting the water with the highest standards. This stage is critical to producing the water to a particular specification such as technical water, mineral water etc. It is also used to treat the water in public systems.
1.the incoming wastewater passes through screening equipment where objects such as rags, wood fragments, plastics, and grease are removed. The material removed is washed and pressed and disposed of in a landfill. The screened wastewater is then pumped to the next step: grit removal.
2. In this step, heavy but fine material such as sand and gravel is removed from the wastewater. This material is also disposed of in a landfill.
3. The material, which will settle, but at a slower rate than step two, is taken out using large circular tanks called clarifiers. The settled material, called primary sludge, is pumped off the bottom and the wastewater exits the tank from the top. Floating debris such as grease is skimmed off the top and sent with the settled material to digesters.
4. In this step, the wastewater receives most of its treatment. Through biological degradation, the pollutants are consumed by microorganisms and transformed into cell tissue, water, and nitrogen.
5. Large circular tanks called secondary clarifiers

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Where does wastewater go
- 1. Geog 100 Where does your wastewater go?
- 2. Where does our wastewater go? DEM Office of Water Resources Narragansett Bay Commission
- 4. Stages of Wastewater Treatment Preliminary treatment removes large pieces of debris like trash and branches with bar racks. Smaller debris, such as gravel and coffee grounds, are separated using aerated grit tanks. The separated material is then taken to the landfill for proper disposal. Primary treatment removes smaller solids through settling tanks and skimming devices. At this point 60% of the solids are removed. Additionally at this step, chlorination of the water takes place. Secondary treatment removes up to 85% of the solid material in the wastewater. In this step the water is aerated to stimulate the growth of helpful bacteria and other microorganisms that break down organic nitrogen and impurities converting them into ammonia. After the sludge created by these microorganisms is separated from the wastewater, the water is chlorinated and then released into the Bay. Many treatment plants have upgraded to Tertiary treatment to comply with strict nitrogen limits. This step converts ammonia into N2 gas which is then released out of the system back into the atmosphere. Because ammonia is the easiest form of nitrogen for algae to utilize, it contributes most significantly to the explosion of microalgal blooms in the upper Bay. Source: STB
