# Literature Review: Assessment of Industrial Wastewater on Water Quality of River

## Introduction
Industrial wastewater discharge into rivers can have significant impacts on the water quality, posing both
ecological and human health risks. Understanding the assessment of industrial wastewater on the water
quality of rivers is crucial for effective pollution control and management strategies. This literature review
aims to synthesize and integrate the research findings from various studies that have investigated the
assessment of industrial wastewater on water quality in different river systems.

## Study 1: Suthar et al. (2010)

Suthar et al. (2010) conducted a study to assess the water quality of the Hindon River in Ghaziabad, India,
with a focus on the impact of industrial and urban wastewater. The study found that the water quality of
the river was significantly affected by the discharge of industrial and urban wastewater. However, the
abstract of the article does not provide specific information about the assessment methods used or the
specific impacts observed.

## Study 2: Phung et al. (2015)

Phung et al. (2015) conducted a temporal and spatial assessment of river surface water quality in Can Tho
City, Vietnam, using multivariate statistical techniques. The study aimed to understand the impacts of
various pollution sources, including industrial wastewater, on the water quality of the river. The findings
of the study indicated that the water quality of the river was significantly influenced by different pollution
sources, including industrial wastewater. However, the abstract does not provide detailed information
about the specific impacts observed or the assessment methods used.

## Study 3: Mazhar et al. (2019)

Mazhar et al. (2019) conducted a study on the sequential treatment of paper and pulp industrial wastewater.
The study aimed to predict water quality parameters using a Mamdani Fuzzy Logic model and assess
phytotoxicity. The findings of the study revealed that the Mamdani Fuzzy Logic model was effective in
predicting water quality parameters. However, the abstract does not specifically mention the assessment
of industrial wastewater on the water quality of rivers.

## Study 4: Patil et al. (2020)

Patil et al. (2020) conducted a study on the geochemical assessment of groundwater quality in the Kanavi
Halla Sub-Basin, Belagavi, India. The study utilized multivariate statistics and a water quality index

(WQI) approach to assess the groundwater quality. While the study focused on groundwater, it provides
insights into the assessment methods and approaches that can be used to evaluate the impacts of industrial
wastewater on water quality in rivers. However, the abstract does not provide specific information about
the impacts of industrial wastewater on the river water quality.

## Study 5: Lu et al. (2010)

Lu et al. (2010) conducted a study to assess the water quality of the Wei River in China using fuzzy
synthetic evaluation. The study aimed to understand the pollution status of the river and identify the major
pollution sources. The findings of the study indicated that the water quality of the river was affected
by multiple pollution sources, including industrial wastewater. However, the abstract does not provide
specific information about the assessment methods used or the impacts observed.

## Study 6: Withanachchi et al. (2018)

Withanachchi et al. (2018) conducted a preliminary assessment of heavy metal contamination in the
Mashavera River, Georgia. The study examined sediment and water samples from the river basin to assess
the levels of heavy metal contamination, including those resulting from industrial wastewater discharge.
The study found high concentrations of highly toxic elements, such as arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd),
and lead (Pb), in downstream sample sites. The findings highlight the potential risks associated with
the discharge of industrial wastewater into the river. The study recommends comprehensive monitoring,
increased sample sites, and observation of multiple trace metal elements to control pollution levels and
ensure the security of the national food system.

## Knowledge Gaps and Future Research Directions

While the reviewed studies provide valuable insights into the assessment of industrial wastewater on the
water quality of rivers, several knowledge gaps and future research directions can be identified:

1. **Assessment Methods:** Most of the reviewed studies did not provide detailed information about the
assessment methods used to evaluate the impacts of industrial wastewater on water quality. Future research
should focus on developing standardized and robust assessment methods that can accurately quantify the
pollution levels and assess the specific impacts of industrial wastewater on river water quality.

2. **Long-Term Monitoring:** The temporal variability of industrial wastewater impacts on river water
quality remains largely unknown. Future research should focus on long-term monitoring of river systems
to understand the seasonal and yearly variations in water quality parameters resulting from industrial
wastewater discharge.

3. **Ecological Impacts:** The reviewed studies primarily focused on assessing the chemical and

physical parameters of water quality. Future research should also investigate the ecological impacts of
industrial wastewater on river ecosystems, including the effects on aquatic flora and fauna.

4. **Treatment Technologies:** Further research is needed to develop and evaluate efficient treatment
technologies for industrial wastewater to minimize its impact on river water quality. Future studies should
focus on the development of cost-effective and sustainable treatment methods that can remove pollutants
effectively.

5. **Integrated Management Strategies:** Future research should aim to develop integrated management
strategies that consider the socio-economic and environmental aspects of industrial wastewater manage-
ment. These strategies should involve collaboration between industries, policymakers, and researchers to
develop effective pollution control measures.

In conclusion, the assessment of industrial wastewater on the water quality of rivers is a critical area
of research. The reviewed studies provide valuable insights into the impacts of industrial wastewater
discharge on river water quality. However, there is a need for further research to develop standardized
assessment methods, understand long-term impacts, investigate ecological effects, develop efficient
treatment technologies, and establish integrated management strategies. Addressing these knowledge
gaps will contribute to effective pollution control and management of industrial wastewater, ensuring the
protection of river ecosystems and human health.
