“…Furthermore, it causes the spread of water borne diseases in many developing countries, emits severe and intolerable odours and pollutes the air. Water quality management depends on the strict policy controls for discharge of solid waste, wastewater, stormwater and standards of treated or untreated wastewater, which requires cost and time for successful execution [1]. Therefore, water management plans must consider sustainable strategies and policies for the successful remediation of polluted water [2].…”

Selection of appropriate river water treatment methods is important for the restoration of river ecosystems. An in-depth review of different river water treatment technologies has been carried out in this study. Among the physical-engineering processes, aeration is an effective, sustainable and popular technique which increases microbial activity and degrades organic pollutants. Other engineering techniques (water diversion, mechanical algae removal, hydraulic structures and dredging) are effective as well, but they are cost intensive and detrimental to river ecosystems. Riverbank filtration is a natural, slow and self-sustainable process which does not pose any adverse effects. Chemical treatments are criticised for their short-term solution, high cost and potential for secondary pollution. Ecological engineering-based techniques are preferable due to their high economic, environmental and ecological benefits, their ease of maintenance and the fact that they are free from secondary pollution. Constructed wetlands, microbial dosing, ecological floating beds and biofilms technologies are the most widely applicable ecological techniques, although some variabilities are observed in their performances. Constructed wetlands perform well under low hydraulic and pollutant loads. Sequential constructed wetland floating bed systems can overcome this limitation. Ecological floating beds are highly recommended for their low cost, high effectiveness and optimum plant growth facilities.

“…Additionally, it pollutes the air, releases strong, disagreeable odors, and contributes to the spread of water-borne diseases in many underdeveloped nations. The successful implementation of strict policy regulations for the discharge of solid waste, wastewater, storm water, and standards of treated or untreated wastewater is dependent on the management of water quality (Somlyody et al 1995). As a result, in order to successfully remediate contaminated water, water management plans must take into account sustainable techniques and policies (Chen et al, 2006).…”

The restoration of river ecosystems depends on the utilization of the most effective river water treatment techniques. Yamuna river water of Agra city is heavily contaminated with toxic pollutants including heavy metals and pesticides that causes severe damage to ecological and social aspects. At present, the direct use of river water for the purpose of drinking causes severe hazards due to anthropogenic activities causing environmental pollution in rivers. The four bacterial isolates (Rhodopseudomonas palustris Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus fusiformis, and Rhodobacter sphaeroides) were used in the form of monocultures and consortium for the bioremediation purposes. According to the results obtained, a significant reduction were observed in the physico chemical parameters including heavy metals. Hence, bioremediation is considered to be an attractive option for minimizing the pollution load from contaminated river water due to its high efficiency and economical impact than chemical remediation. Thus the current study clearly states that, application of bacterial consortia and monocultures can be used for the treatment of toxic effluents from Yamuna river water.
