REUSE OF DOMESTIC WASTE

WATER FOR IRRIGATION


PURPOSE BY BIOREMEDIATION
Preamble
• Water is one of the most precious natural resource.
• Agriculture sector is the largest user of the of the water.
• Pakistan has limited water resources.
• The challenge for us is to plan, develop and manage our
water resources.
• The efficient use of waste water is necessary to reduce
the mining of ground water resources.
• Aquatic plants and effective microbes can be used for
pollutant stabilization, extraction, degradation or
volatization.
• Domestic effluent consists;
• Black water (excreta, urine and faecal sludge i.e
toilet waste water)
• Grey water (kitchen and bathing waste water)
The Problem

• Scarcity of fresh water


• Used water is waste
• Waste water contains many toxic chemical
compounds
• Efficient utilization of waste water for
irrigation purpose
Objectives

• Reclaiming domestic waste water for


irrigation purpose
Hypothesis

• Bioremediation can alter the chemical


composition of toxic waste water
Methodology
• Source of domestic waste water----Shahzad town,
Islamabad
• Collection of water samples in triplicate from six
ponds of bioremedy site of National Institute of
Bioremediation (NiB)
• Chemical analysis of samples for irrigation
quality measurement i.e pH, EC, TDS, SAR, RSC,
nitrate, phosphate and heavy metals
• Experiment with single factor, analysis of
variance
• One month time period for research
Possible outcomes

• Used water is not waste


• Can be used for irrigation purpose
