“…Alkaline phosphatase activity decreased in the affected sites as compared to the control site. Data showed an increasing trend in activity with the increasing distance from the source of effluent release in both the seasons (132.1 to 143.1 pnp released/g soil/h in summer and 110.52 to 155.28 pnp released/g soil/h in winter) (Tables 3 and 4), similar to the results reported by [61]. However, the change was nonsignificant with the increase in distance, according to one-way ANOVA ( Table 6).…”

Irrigation of agriculture field by untreated wastewater is a common practice in the water scarce regions in India. Increasing water crisis has forced the farmers to use untreated or partially treated wastewater in their agricultural fields. In this study, agricultural soil irrigated with textile effluent was examined at five different sites on the basis of proximity to the source and analysed for physicochemical and microbiological properties. Further, the co-relation of physicochemical properties with soil enzyme was also studied. The results revealed that soil respiration and microbial biomass carbon reduced by 53.8% and 65.9%, respectively in the contaminated site as compared to control site, emphasizing the deleterious impact of effluent on the study site. Additionally, the bacterial population and dehydrogenase enzyme reduced by 41.6%, and 71%, respectively in the effluent affected soil as compared to the control site. Soil organic carbon showed a strong positive correlation (p ≤ 0. 01) with soil enzyme activity. Other physicochemical and microbiological properties of the affected soil indicated negative impact on both soil quality and microbiota.

The rapidly increasing population growth and the steady increase in water requirements for agricultural and industrial development have placed severe stress on the water resources available and the long term use of sewage water for irrigation highly affects soil properties. In this study soil samples were collected from a cauliflower field prior and after sewage water irrigation, and the impact of sewage water irrigation on physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil was compared. For this, tested were pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Organic Carbon, available Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Iron, Copper, Manganese, and microbial activity. Soil microbial biomass carbon, basal soil respiration, total viable count of bacteria, coliform population, Pseudomonas species, and Azotobacter significantly increased after sewage water irrigation as compared to prior to irrigation. Nevertheless, the bulk density and Rhizobium species of the soil flooded with sewage water was decreased relative to the same characteristics prior to irrigation. Cauliflower yield was significantly increased when sewage water flooded field as compared to the tube well water flooded field (i.e., water delivered via an iron pipe). Escherichia coli contamination was greater in sewage water and groundwater that can pose health risks for the nearby communities, to farmers and consumer of farm products. Hence, the efficient use of sewage and municipal wastewater successfully increase water resource for irrigation and may help in expanding agricultural production. But excessive use of sewage water may also affect the soil flora and fertility.
