“…The untreated effluents have high content of organic load, which when stored for some days results in obnoxious odour, irritating colour, lower pH (4.2-5.7) and higher BOD (840 mg/l -4650 mg/l), COD (1600 mg/l -5500 mg/l) and TDS (2068 mg/l -6864 mg/l) [3,4,2,10]. When this effluent is mixed in the agricultural farm without proper treatment, it is prone to increase soil and water pollution [5], which pushes the farmers towards non-agriculture. The acidic nature of the untreated effluent and the present of inorganic constituents such as phosphate, sulphate, chloride, cyanide etc.…”

The study attempts to examine the socio- economic profile and economics of coconut cultivation using treated sago industrial wastewater and fresh water in the Salem district of Tamil Nadu. A sample of 180 farmers receiving treated wastewater from nearby industrial units and another 180 farmers receiving fresh water (control farms) were selected through a multistage purposive sampling technique. The major finding of economic analysis of coconut cultivation revealed that the gross income of the sample farm using treated sago industrial wastewater was high at ₹ 1,31,408.00 as a result of the better yield of nuts (12540) as compared to that obtained by irrigation with fresh water (12245). The net income per hectare of coconut was ₹ 46,128.64 and ₹ 34,245.72 for the farm using treated wastewater and control farms, respectively. The study; therefore could establish that using treated industrial wastewater for irrigation will be advantageous in terms of net returns and to an extent substitute use of fresh water for irrigation, besides helping to save on use of and expenditure of organic and inorganic fertilizers.
