Abstract

The primary goal of wastewater treatment is to enable municipal and industrial effluents to be disposed of without endangering public health or causing unacceptable ecological damage. With rapid urbanization and industrialization, both the quantity of sewage generation and complexity in its treatment for recycle is increasing. Further, the disposal of untreated sewage is posing lot of threat to groundwater quality. Hence, recycling of wastewater is necessary to prevent groundwater pollution. It also helps in augmenting water conservation. Sewage can be treated to the acceptable quality for its use in many non-potable, industrial and agricultural uses. Treated wastewater recycling helps in addressing the rapidly growing water consumption of many areas of the economy thereby benefiting in environmental rehabilitation. From the perception of public resource, the present study analyzes the suitability of treated wastewater from various units at Amberpet STP in Hyderabad for several designated water uses.
