“…Improvement in the organic carbon in soils treated with wastewater was recorded. Present results are in concurrence with the findings of [32,39] in sewage-treated soils; [29] in paper mill effluent-treated soils; [38] in soils treated with spentwash. Fractionated application of brewery wastewater induced difference in the total carbon, while labile organic carbon was increased [11].…”

“…[20]. The increase in the quantum and extended period of application of sewage resulted in the increase in bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi in wastewater-irrigated soil [6,39]. Positive effect of the wastewater applications on microbial biomass and enzyme activity of the soils were attributed to high organic matter content of sewage [3,22].…”

“…Concomitantly treating the arable soils with wastewater may have important implication on enhancing C stocks [12]. Effect of long-term application of sewage wastewater on black soils around Hubli-Dharwad [32,39], effect of paper mill wastewater on red soil [33] and spentwash on black soil [34] has been studied recently. Studies encompassing the effect of different wastewaters on different soils are very few.…”

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of bio-methanated distillery spentwash, paper mill, soft drink factory and domestic sewage wastewaters on carbon and nitrogen dynamics in red, lateritic, and black soils of north Karnataka. Application of wastewaters from different sources influenced the carbon and nitrogen fractions across treated soils. Water-soluble carbon, labile carbon and organic carbon were significantly higher in bio-methanated distillery spentwash-treated soils. Wide variations in nitrogen fractions NH 4 ? -N, NO 3 --N were recorded under the influence of different wastewaters across the treated soils. Irrespective of the soil types, content of organic carbon and nitrogen fractions followed the order bio-methanated distillery spentwash [ paper mill [ domestic wastewater C soft drink factory wastewater. Higher values of carbon and nitrogen fractions were observed in the surface layers (0-15 cm) in comparison with lower depths. Enumeration of the bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, N 2 -fixers and P-solubilizers indicated higher microbial load in bio-methanated spentwash application followed by paper mill wastewater application. Microbial load was highly concentrated in the surface layer (0-15 cm) across the soils and wastewaters evaluated. The bacterial count in treated soils was double that of fresh water-treated soils. Among the soils used in the study, maximum bacteria, actinomycetes and P-solubilizers count were recorded in black soil under the influence of the bio-methanated spentwash.

“…Increasing population growth, unexpected climate change and poor management of water resources are the main reasons for water scarcity, so efficient management of available water resources is needed, such as designing water harvesting structures, reusing wastewater, and improving the desalination plants especially in developing countries (Asthana & Shukla 2014). Recently, in nonurban areas of developing countries, the reuse of wastewater is presented as a perennial source of nutrients for agricultural production (Varkey et al 2015).…”

Green remediation is a known technology that uses different types of plants to extract contaminants from the environment. This study aims to remove heavy metals from treated wastewater by using natural growing plants on River Nile banks in Egypt. Secondary treated efﬂuent was collected from West Gerga wastewater treatment plant located in Sohag city, Egypt. Experiments using two types of aquatic plants were carried out. They were planted individually and in combination with different densities on the secondary treated wastewater surface for 10 days retention time to remove cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and lead (Pb). It was concluded that both plants have high capabilities to remove heavy metals directly from treated wastewater. The removal efficiency of Cd and Pb was higher when they are planted together than that of individually planted. A positive relationship was observed between detention time and heavy metals removal. The removal efficiency of heavy metals increased with the increase of plants density for both plants types. Also the availability of aquatic plants and their free cost makes their use an economically attractive alternative. In addition, the removal of these plants from River Nile improves the performance of water distribution networks in Egypt.

“…The consistent use of wastewater in irrigation may stabilize the content of nutrients in the soil, even when growing crops with high nutritional requirements; this is because the continuous withdrawal of nutrients by plants is compensated by the constant input of organic and mineral components into the soil via wastewater. Effect of sewage wastewater on black soil (Varkey et al, 2015), paper mill wastewater on red soil (Sharma et al, 2014) and spentwash on black soil (Singh and Swami, 2014) have been studied. Composite study on characterization of the wastewater and their effect of different wastewaters on a wide range of soil is sparse.…”

Water scarcity and increase wastewater generation are twin problem associated which needs to be addressed to derive benefit for agricultural production. In this context laboratory study was conducted to characterize the wastewater from four different sources (Ugar sugar-Ugar khurd, West coast paper mill-Dandeli, Nectar beverages-Dharwad, Domestic sewage water-UAS campus Dharwad) in north Karnataka and were compared with freshwater. Spentwash from the Ugar Sugar Works distillery was singularly different from rest of the wastewaters and was characterized by its high pH, EC, TSS, TDS, BOD, COD, total nitrogen, phosphate, potassium and sulphate concentration. The effect of the wastewaters on the dominant soils of north Karnataka (Red, Lateritic and Black soil) were evaluated in column study during March-2014 to April-2015. Wide variation in water characteristics was recorded with wastewaters studied. The concentration of heavy metals increased in soils from 4 to 8 pore volumes application of various wastewaters. The highest lead concentration was observed in W 4 . The effect of different wastewaters in enhancing the lead concentration was highest in the black soil followed by red and then by lateritic soil. The concentration of chromium in spentwash treated soils at both 4 and 8 pore volumes passage was not only highest but singularly different from the rest.
