Domestic Wastewater ?
All industrial wastes effects the normal life of stream when the effect
is sufficient to render the unacceptable for its best usage, it is said
to be polluted. The best use means, use of water for drinking,
bathing, fishing etc.
Inorganic Salts
Inorganic salts are present is most industrial waster, cause water to hard
and make stream unfit for industrial, municipal and agricultural usage.
Salty water causes scales in water distribution systems, resistance to flow
and lowering overall capacity of pipes.
Hard water interferes with the dyeing and textile industry, brewing and beer
industry and quality of products in canning industry.
MgSO4 constituent in hard water causes cathartic effect.
Chloride ion increases electrical conductivity.
Iron causes stains and spots (e.g paper, textile mills).
Carbonates produces scales in cans.
Nitrogen and phosphorus causes eutrophication in stream.
