WATER POLLUTION
Causes Sources of Water Pollution
bull Point sources are specific sites (single location) near water which directly discharge effluents into them Major point sources of water pollution are industries power plants underground coal mines offshore oil wells etc
bull The discharge from non-point sources is not at any particular site rather these sources are scattered which individually or collectively pollute water
bull Surface run-off from agricultural fields overflowing small drains rain water sweeping roads and fields atmospheric deposition etc are the non-point sources of water pollution
WATER POLLUTION Ground water pollution bull Ground water forms about 62 of the total water available on planet earth and is
about 30 times more than surface water (streams lakes and estuaries)bull Ground water seems to be less prone to pollution as the soil mantle through which
water passes helps to retain various contaminants due to its cation exchange capacitybull However potential sources of ground water pollution are Septic tanks industry
(textile chemical tanneries) deep well injection mining etcbull Ground water pollution with arsenic fluoride and nitrate are posing serious health
hazards
Surface water pollutionbull The major sources of surface water pollution are
1 Sewage Pouring the drains and sewers in fresh water bodies causes water pollution The problem is severe in cities
2 Industrial effluents Industrial wastes containing toxic chemicals acids alkalis metallic salts phenols cyanides ammonia radioactive substances etc are sources of water pollution They also cause thermal (heat) pollution of water
3 Synthetic detergents Synthetic detergents used in washing and cleaning produce foam and pollute water
WATER POLLUTION4 Agrochemicals Agrochemicals like fertilizers (containing nitrates and phosphates)
and pesticides (insecticides fungicides herbicides etc) washed by rain-water and surface run-off pollute water
5 Oil Oil spillage into sea-water during drilling and shipment pollute it6 Waste heat Waste heat from industrial discharges increases the temperature of
water bodies and affects distribution and survival of sensitive species
Effects of Water Pollutionbull Toxic Compounds
o Pollutants such as heavy metals pesticides cyanides and many other organic and inorganic compounds are harmful to aquatic organisms
o The demand of DO increases with addition of biodegradable organic matter which is expressed as biological oxygen demand (BOD)
o BOD is defined as the amount of DO required to aerobically decompose biodegradable organic matter of a given volume of water over a period of 5 days at 20degC
o More BOD values of any water sample are associated with poor water quality
WATER POLLUTIONo The non-biodegradable toxic compounds biomagnify in the food chain and cause
toxic effects at various levels of food chain o Some of these substances like pesticides methyl mercury etc move into the bodies
of organisms from the medium in which these organisms live o Substances like DDT are not water soluble and have affinity for body lipids These
substances tend to accumulate in the organismrsquos body This process is called bioaccumulation
o The concentration of these toxic substances builds up at successive levels of food chain This process is called biomagnification
o Following is the example of biomagnification of DDT in aquatic food chain
WATER POLLUTIONHeavy Metal toxicity
o Some heavy metals like lead mercury and cadmium cause various types of diseases
o Mercury dumped into water is transformed into water soluble methyl mercury by bacterial action
o Methyl mercury accumulates in fish In 1953 people in Japan suffered from numbness of body parts vision and hearing problems and abnormal mental behaviour This disease called Minamata disease occurred due to consumption of methyl mercury contaminated fish caught from Minamata bay in Japan The disease claimed 50 lives and permanently paralysed over 700 persons
o Pollution by another heavy metal cadmium had caused the disease called Itai-itai in the people of Japan The disease was caused by cadmium contaminated rice The rice fields were irrigated with effluents of zinc smelters and drainage water from mines In this disease bones liver kidney lungs pancreas and thyroid are affected
o Arsenic pollution of ground water in Bangladesh and West Bengal is causing various types of abnormalities
o Nitrate when present in excess in drinking water causes blue baby syndrome or methaemoglobinemia The disease develops when a part of haemoglobin is converted into non-functional oxidized form
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
I Control of Pollution from Point sources It is easy to reduce water pollution from point sources by legislation For controlling water pollution from point sources treatment of wastewater is
essential before being discharged Parameters which are considered for reduction in such water are Total
solids biological oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) nitrates and phosphates oil and grease toxic metals etc
Wastewater should be properly treated by primary and secondary treatments to reduce the BOD COD levels up to the permissible levels for discharge
Advanced treatment for removal of nitrates and phosphates will prevent eutrophication
Before the discharge of wastewater it should be disinfected to kill the disease-causing organisms like bacteria
Proper chlorination should be done to prevent the formation of chlorinated hydrocarbons or disinfection should be done by ozone or ultraviolet radiations
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
II Control of Pollution from Non-Point sourcesHowever due to absence of defined strategies it becomes difficult to prevent water
pollution from non-point sources
The following methods have to be followed in reducing water pollution from non-point sources
i Judicious use of agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers which will reduce their surface run-off and leaching Avoid use of these on sloped lands
ii Use of nitrogen fixing plants to supplement the use of fertilizers
iii Adopting integrated pest management to reduce reliance on pesticides
iv Prevent run-off of manure Divert such run-off to basin for settlement The nutrient rich water can be used as fertilizer in the fields
v Separate drainage of sewage and rain water should be provided to prevent overflow of sewage with rainwater
vi Planting trees would reduce pollution by sediments and will also prevent soil erosion

Physical Unit Operations Treatment methods in which the application of physical forces predominates are known as physical unit operations
Most of these methods are based on physical forces eg screening mixing flocculation sedimentation flotation and filtration
Chemical Unit Processes Treatment methods in which removal or conversion or contaminant is brought by addition of chemicals or by other chemical reaction are known as chemical unit processes for example pH correction precipitation gas transfer adsorption and disinfection
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
Classification of Treatment Methods
Biological Unit Processes Treatment methods in which the removal of contaminants is brought about by biological activity are known as biological unit processes
This is primarily used to remove biodegradable organic substances from the wastewater either in colloidal or dissolved form
In the biological unit process organic matter is converted into gases that can escape to the atmosphere and into bacterial cells which can be removed by settling
Biological treatment is also used for nitrogen removal and for phosphorous and sulphate removal from the wastewater
The different treatment methods used in wastewater treatment plant are classified in three different categories as
bull Primary Treatment Refers to physical unit operations
bull Secondary Treatment Refers to chemical and biological unit processes
bull Tertiary Treatment Refers to combination of all three ie physical unit operations and chemical or biological unit processes
used after secondary treatment

Conventional biological treatment of wastewater under aerobic conditions includes activated sludge process (ASP) and Secondary settling tank clarifier
The ASP is developed in England in 1914 The activated sludge process consists of an aeration tank where
organic matter is stabilized by the action of bacteria under aeration and a secondary sedimentation tank (SST) is used where the biological cell mass is separated from the effluent and the settle sludge is recycled partly to the aeration tank
Recycling is necessary for activated sludge process The aeration conditions are achieved by the use of diffused or
mechanical aeration

Oxidation Pond Low cost natural treatment system Biochemical oxidation of organic is done by bacteria Oxygen for bacteria is provided by atmospheric wind and
algae present in the pond Algae utilize the nutrients and CO2 (provided by the
bacteria) for photosynthesis and supplements the bacteria with oxygen (a product of photosynthesis)
This symbiotic relationship between the algae and bacteria is a major feature of OP
Depth of the OP must be minimal( lt 05m) to keep entire pond area in aerobic condition

WATER POLLUTION
Causes Sources of Water Pollution
bull Point sources are specific sites (single location) near water which directly discharge effluents into them Major point sources of water pollution are industries power plants underground coal mines offshore oil wells etc
bull The discharge from non-point sources is not at any particular site rather these sources are scattered which individually or collectively pollute water
bull Surface run-off from agricultural fields overflowing small drains rain water sweeping roads and fields atmospheric deposition etc are the non-point sources of water pollution
WATER POLLUTION Ground water pollution bull Ground water forms about 62 of the total water available on planet earth and is
about 30 times more than surface water (streams lakes and estuaries)bull Ground water seems to be less prone to pollution as the soil mantle through which
water passes helps to retain various contaminants due to its cation exchange capacitybull However potential sources of ground water pollution are Septic tanks industry
(textile chemical tanneries) deep well injection mining etcbull Ground water pollution with arsenic fluoride and nitrate are posing serious health
hazards
Surface water pollutionbull The major sources of surface water pollution are
1 Sewage Pouring the drains and sewers in fresh water bodies causes water pollution The problem is severe in cities
2 Industrial effluents Industrial wastes containing toxic chemicals acids alkalis metallic salts phenols cyanides ammonia radioactive substances etc are sources of water pollution They also cause thermal (heat) pollution of water
3 Synthetic detergents Synthetic detergents used in washing and cleaning produce foam and pollute water
WATER POLLUTION4 Agrochemicals Agrochemicals like fertilizers (containing nitrates and phosphates)
and pesticides (insecticides fungicides herbicides etc) washed by rain-water and surface run-off pollute water
5 Oil Oil spillage into sea-water during drilling and shipment pollute it6 Waste heat Waste heat from industrial discharges increases the temperature of
water bodies and affects distribution and survival of sensitive species
Effects of Water Pollutionbull Toxic Compounds
o Pollutants such as heavy metals pesticides cyanides and many other organic and inorganic compounds are harmful to aquatic organisms
o The demand of DO increases with addition of biodegradable organic matter which is expressed as biological oxygen demand (BOD)
o BOD is defined as the amount of DO required to aerobically decompose biodegradable organic matter of a given volume of water over a period of 5 days at 20degC
o More BOD values of any water sample are associated with poor water quality
WATER POLLUTIONo The non-biodegradable toxic compounds biomagnify in the food chain and cause
toxic effects at various levels of food chain o Some of these substances like pesticides methyl mercury etc move into the bodies
of organisms from the medium in which these organisms live o Substances like DDT are not water soluble and have affinity for body lipids These
substances tend to accumulate in the organismrsquos body This process is called bioaccumulation
o The concentration of these toxic substances builds up at successive levels of food chain This process is called biomagnification
o Following is the example of biomagnification of DDT in aquatic food chain
WATER POLLUTIONHeavy Metal toxicity
o Some heavy metals like lead mercury and cadmium cause various types of diseases
o Mercury dumped into water is transformed into water soluble methyl mercury by bacterial action
o Methyl mercury accumulates in fish In 1953 people in Japan suffered from numbness of body parts vision and hearing problems and abnormal mental behaviour This disease called Minamata disease occurred due to consumption of methyl mercury contaminated fish caught from Minamata bay in Japan The disease claimed 50 lives and permanently paralysed over 700 persons
o Pollution by another heavy metal cadmium had caused the disease called Itai-itai in the people of Japan The disease was caused by cadmium contaminated rice The rice fields were irrigated with effluents of zinc smelters and drainage water from mines In this disease bones liver kidney lungs pancreas and thyroid are affected
o Arsenic pollution of ground water in Bangladesh and West Bengal is causing various types of abnormalities
o Nitrate when present in excess in drinking water causes blue baby syndrome or methaemoglobinemia The disease develops when a part of haemoglobin is converted into non-functional oxidized form
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
I Control of Pollution from Point sources It is easy to reduce water pollution from point sources by legislation For controlling water pollution from point sources treatment of wastewater is
essential before being discharged Parameters which are considered for reduction in such water are Total
solids biological oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) nitrates and phosphates oil and grease toxic metals etc
Wastewater should be properly treated by primary and secondary treatments to reduce the BOD COD levels up to the permissible levels for discharge
Advanced treatment for removal of nitrates and phosphates will prevent eutrophication
Before the discharge of wastewater it should be disinfected to kill the disease-causing organisms like bacteria
Proper chlorination should be done to prevent the formation of chlorinated hydrocarbons or disinfection should be done by ozone or ultraviolet radiations
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
II Control of Pollution from Non-Point sourcesHowever due to absence of defined strategies it becomes difficult to prevent water
pollution from non-point sources
The following methods have to be followed in reducing water pollution from non-point sources
i Judicious use of agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers which will reduce their surface run-off and leaching Avoid use of these on sloped lands
ii Use of nitrogen fixing plants to supplement the use of fertilizers
iii Adopting integrated pest management to reduce reliance on pesticides
iv Prevent run-off of manure Divert such run-off to basin for settlement The nutrient rich water can be used as fertilizer in the fields
v Separate drainage of sewage and rain water should be provided to prevent overflow of sewage with rainwater
vi Planting trees would reduce pollution by sediments and will also prevent soil erosion

Classification of Treatment Methods
Biological Unit Processes Treatment methods in which the removal of contaminants is brought about by biological activity are known as biological unit processes
This is primarily used to remove biodegradable organic substances from the wastewater either in colloidal or dissolved form
In the biological unit process organic matter is converted into gases that can escape to the atmosphere and into bacterial cells which can be removed by settling
Biological treatment is also used for nitrogen removal and for phosphorous and sulphate removal from the wastewater
The different treatment methods used in wastewater treatment plant are classified in three different categories as
bull Primary Treatment Refers to physical unit operations

WATER POLLUTION
Causes Sources of Water Pollution
bull Point sources are specific sites (single location) near water which directly discharge effluents into them Major point sources of water pollution are industries power plants underground coal mines offshore oil wells etc
bull The discharge from non-point sources is not at any particular site rather these sources are scattered which individually or collectively pollute water
bull Surface run-off from agricultural fields overflowing small drains rain water sweeping roads and fields atmospheric deposition etc are the non-point sources of water pollution
WATER POLLUTION Ground water pollution bull Ground water forms about 62 of the total water available on planet earth and is
about 30 times more than surface water (streams lakes and estuaries)bull Ground water seems to be less prone to pollution as the soil mantle through which
water passes helps to retain various contaminants due to its cation exchange capacitybull However potential sources of ground water pollution are Septic tanks industry
(textile chemical tanneries) deep well injection mining etcbull Ground water pollution with arsenic fluoride and nitrate are posing serious health
hazards
Surface water pollutionbull The major sources of surface water pollution are
1 Sewage Pouring the drains and sewers in fresh water bodies causes water pollution The problem is severe in cities
2 Industrial effluents Industrial wastes containing toxic chemicals acids alkalis metallic salts phenols cyanides ammonia radioactive substances etc are sources of water pollution They also cause thermal (heat) pollution of water
3 Synthetic detergents Synthetic detergents used in washing and cleaning produce foam and pollute water
WATER POLLUTION4 Agrochemicals Agrochemicals like fertilizers (containing nitrates and phosphates)
and pesticides (insecticides fungicides herbicides etc) washed by rain-water and surface run-off pollute water
5 Oil Oil spillage into sea-water during drilling and shipment pollute it6 Waste heat Waste heat from industrial discharges increases the temperature of
water bodies and affects distribution and survival of sensitive species
Effects of Water Pollutionbull Toxic Compounds
o Pollutants such as heavy metals pesticides cyanides and many other organic and inorganic compounds are harmful to aquatic organisms
o The demand of DO increases with addition of biodegradable organic matter which is expressed as biological oxygen demand (BOD)
o BOD is defined as the amount of DO required to aerobically decompose biodegradable organic matter of a given volume of water over a period of 5 days at 20degC
o More BOD values of any water sample are associated with poor water quality
WATER POLLUTIONo The non-biodegradable toxic compounds biomagnify in the food chain and cause
toxic effects at various levels of food chain o Some of these substances like pesticides methyl mercury etc move into the bodies
of organisms from the medium in which these organisms live o Substances like DDT are not water soluble and have affinity for body lipids These
substances tend to accumulate in the organismrsquos body This process is called bioaccumulation
o The concentration of these toxic substances builds up at successive levels of food chain This process is called biomagnification
o Following is the example of biomagnification of DDT in aquatic food chain
WATER POLLUTIONHeavy Metal toxicity
o Some heavy metals like lead mercury and cadmium cause various types of diseases
o Mercury dumped into water is transformed into water soluble methyl mercury by bacterial action
o Methyl mercury accumulates in fish In 1953 people in Japan suffered from numbness of body parts vision and hearing problems and abnormal mental behaviour This disease called Minamata disease occurred due to consumption of methyl mercury contaminated fish caught from Minamata bay in Japan The disease claimed 50 lives and permanently paralysed over 700 persons
o Pollution by another heavy metal cadmium had caused the disease called Itai-itai in the people of Japan The disease was caused by cadmium contaminated rice The rice fields were irrigated with effluents of zinc smelters and drainage water from mines In this disease bones liver kidney lungs pancreas and thyroid are affected
o Arsenic pollution of ground water in Bangladesh and West Bengal is causing various types of abnormalities
o Nitrate when present in excess in drinking water causes blue baby syndrome or methaemoglobinemia The disease develops when a part of haemoglobin is converted into non-functional oxidized form
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
I Control of Pollution from Point sources It is easy to reduce water pollution from point sources by legislation For controlling water pollution from point sources treatment of wastewater is
essential before being discharged Parameters which are considered for reduction in such water are Total
solids biological oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) nitrates and phosphates oil and grease toxic metals etc
Wastewater should be properly treated by primary and secondary treatments to reduce the BOD COD levels up to the permissible levels for discharge
Advanced treatment for removal of nitrates and phosphates will prevent eutrophication
Before the discharge of wastewater it should be disinfected to kill the disease-causing organisms like bacteria
Proper chlorination should be done to prevent the formation of chlorinated hydrocarbons or disinfection should be done by ozone or ultraviolet radiations
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
II Control of Pollution from Non-Point sourcesHowever due to absence of defined strategies it becomes difficult to prevent water
pollution from non-point sources
The following methods have to be followed in reducing water pollution from non-point sources
i Judicious use of agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers which will reduce their surface run-off and leaching Avoid use of these on sloped lands
ii Use of nitrogen fixing plants to supplement the use of fertilizers
iii Adopting integrated pest management to reduce reliance on pesticides
iv Prevent run-off of manure Divert such run-off to basin for settlement The nutrient rich water can be used as fertilizer in the fields
v Separate drainage of sewage and rain water should be provided to prevent overflow of sewage with rainwater
vi Planting trees would reduce pollution by sediments and will also prevent soil erosion

Classification of Treatment Methods
Biological Unit Processes Treatment methods in which the removal of contaminants is brought about by biological activity are known as biological unit processes
This is primarily used to remove biodegradable organic substances from the wastewater either in colloidal or dissolved form
In the biological unit process organic matter is converted into gases that can escape to the atmosphere and into bacterial cells which can be removed by settling
Biological treatment is also used for nitrogen removal and for phosphorous and sulphate removal from the wastewater
The different treatment methods used in wastewater treatment plant are classified in three different categories as
bull Primary Treatment Refers to physical unit operations
bull Secondary Treatment Refers to chemical and biological unit processes

WATER POLLUTION
Causes Sources of Water Pollution
bull Point sources are specific sites (single location) near water which directly discharge effluents into them Major point sources of water pollution are industries power plants underground coal mines offshore oil wells etc
bull The discharge from non-point sources is not at any particular site rather these sources are scattered which individually or collectively pollute water
bull Surface run-off from agricultural fields overflowing small drains rain water sweeping roads and fields atmospheric deposition etc are the non-point sources of water pollution
WATER POLLUTION Ground water pollution bull Ground water forms about 62 of the total water available on planet earth and is
about 30 times more than surface water (streams lakes and estuaries)bull Ground water seems to be less prone to pollution as the soil mantle through which
water passes helps to retain various contaminants due to its cation exchange capacitybull However potential sources of ground water pollution are Septic tanks industry
(textile chemical tanneries) deep well injection mining etcbull Ground water pollution with arsenic fluoride and nitrate are posing serious health
hazards
Surface water pollutionbull The major sources of surface water pollution are
1 Sewage Pouring the drains and sewers in fresh water bodies causes water pollution The problem is severe in cities
2 Industrial effluents Industrial wastes containing toxic chemicals acids alkalis metallic salts phenols cyanides ammonia radioactive substances etc are sources of water pollution They also cause thermal (heat) pollution of water
3 Synthetic detergents Synthetic detergents used in washing and cleaning produce foam and pollute water
WATER POLLUTION4 Agrochemicals Agrochemicals like fertilizers (containing nitrates and phosphates)
and pesticides (insecticides fungicides herbicides etc) washed by rain-water and surface run-off pollute water
5 Oil Oil spillage into sea-water during drilling and shipment pollute it6 Waste heat Waste heat from industrial discharges increases the temperature of
water bodies and affects distribution and survival of sensitive species
Effects of Water Pollutionbull Toxic Compounds
o Pollutants such as heavy metals pesticides cyanides and many other organic and inorganic compounds are harmful to aquatic organisms
o The demand of DO increases with addition of biodegradable organic matter which is expressed as biological oxygen demand (BOD)
o BOD is defined as the amount of DO required to aerobically decompose biodegradable organic matter of a given volume of water over a period of 5 days at 20degC
o More BOD values of any water sample are associated with poor water quality
WATER POLLUTIONo The non-biodegradable toxic compounds biomagnify in the food chain and cause
toxic effects at various levels of food chain o Some of these substances like pesticides methyl mercury etc move into the bodies
of organisms from the medium in which these organisms live o Substances like DDT are not water soluble and have affinity for body lipids These
substances tend to accumulate in the organismrsquos body This process is called bioaccumulation
o The concentration of these toxic substances builds up at successive levels of food chain This process is called biomagnification
o Following is the example of biomagnification of DDT in aquatic food chain
WATER POLLUTIONHeavy Metal toxicity
o Some heavy metals like lead mercury and cadmium cause various types of diseases
o Mercury dumped into water is transformed into water soluble methyl mercury by bacterial action
o Methyl mercury accumulates in fish In 1953 people in Japan suffered from numbness of body parts vision and hearing problems and abnormal mental behaviour This disease called Minamata disease occurred due to consumption of methyl mercury contaminated fish caught from Minamata bay in Japan The disease claimed 50 lives and permanently paralysed over 700 persons
o Pollution by another heavy metal cadmium had caused the disease called Itai-itai in the people of Japan The disease was caused by cadmium contaminated rice The rice fields were irrigated with effluents of zinc smelters and drainage water from mines In this disease bones liver kidney lungs pancreas and thyroid are affected
o Arsenic pollution of ground water in Bangladesh and West Bengal is causing various types of abnormalities
o Nitrate when present in excess in drinking water causes blue baby syndrome or methaemoglobinemia The disease develops when a part of haemoglobin is converted into non-functional oxidized form
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
I Control of Pollution from Point sources It is easy to reduce water pollution from point sources by legislation For controlling water pollution from point sources treatment of wastewater is
essential before being discharged Parameters which are considered for reduction in such water are Total
solids biological oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) nitrates and phosphates oil and grease toxic metals etc
Wastewater should be properly treated by primary and secondary treatments to reduce the BOD COD levels up to the permissible levels for discharge
Advanced treatment for removal of nitrates and phosphates will prevent eutrophication
Before the discharge of wastewater it should be disinfected to kill the disease-causing organisms like bacteria
Proper chlorination should be done to prevent the formation of chlorinated hydrocarbons or disinfection should be done by ozone or ultraviolet radiations
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
II Control of Pollution from Non-Point sourcesHowever due to absence of defined strategies it becomes difficult to prevent water
pollution from non-point sources
The following methods have to be followed in reducing water pollution from non-point sources
i Judicious use of agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers which will reduce their surface run-off and leaching Avoid use of these on sloped lands
ii Use of nitrogen fixing plants to supplement the use of fertilizers
iii Adopting integrated pest management to reduce reliance on pesticides
iv Prevent run-off of manure Divert such run-off to basin for settlement The nutrient rich water can be used as fertilizer in the fields
v Separate drainage of sewage and rain water should be provided to prevent overflow of sewage with rainwater
vi Planting trees would reduce pollution by sediments and will also prevent soil erosion

Physical Unit Operations Treatment methods in which the application of physical forces predominates are known as physical unit operations
Most of these methods are based on physical forces eg screening mixing flocculation sedimentation flotation and filtration
Chemical Unit Processes Treatment methods in which removal or conversion or contaminant is brought by addition of chemicals or by other chemical reaction are known as chemical unit processes for example pH correction precipitation gas transfer adsorption and disinfection
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
Classification of Treatment Methods
Biological Unit Processes Treatment methods in which the removal of contaminants is brought about by biological activity are known as biological unit processes
This is primarily used to remove biodegradable organic substances from the wastewater either in colloidal or dissolved form
In the biological unit process organic matter is converted into gases that can escape to the atmosphere and into bacterial cells which can be removed by settling
Biological treatment is also used for nitrogen removal and for phosphorous and sulphate removal from the wastewater
The different treatment methods used in wastewater treatment plant are classified in three different categories as
bull Primary Treatment Refers to physical unit operations
bull Secondary Treatment Refers to chemical and biological unit processes
bull Tertiary Treatment Refers to combination of all three ie physical unit operations and chemical or biological unit processes
used after secondary treatment

Conventional biological treatment of wastewater under aerobic conditions includes activated sludge process (ASP) and Secondary settling tank clarifier
The ASP is developed in England in 1914 The activated sludge process consists of an aeration tank where
organic matter is stabilized by the action of bacteria under aeration and a secondary sedimentation tank (SST) is used where the biological cell mass is separated from the effluent and the settle sludge is recycled partly to the aeration tank
Recycling is necessary for activated sludge process The aeration conditions are achieved by the use of diffused or

essential before being discharged Parameters which are considered for reduction in such water are Total
solids biological oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) nitrates and phosphates oil and grease toxic metals etc
Wastewater should be properly treated by primary and secondary treatments to reduce the BOD COD levels up to the permissible levels for discharge
Advanced treatment for removal of nitrates and phosphates will prevent eutrophication
Before the discharge of wastewater it should be disinfected to kill the disease-causing organisms like bacteria
Proper chlorination should be done to prevent the formation of chlorinated hydrocarbons or disinfection should be done by ozone or ultraviolet radiations
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
II Control of Pollution from Non-Point sourcesHowever due to absence of defined strategies it becomes difficult to prevent water
pollution from non-point sources
The following methods have to be followed in reducing water pollution from non-point sources
i Judicious use of agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers which will reduce their surface run-off and leaching Avoid use of these on sloped lands
ii Use of nitrogen fixing plants to supplement the use of fertilizers
iii Adopting integrated pest management to reduce reliance on pesticides
iv Prevent run-off of manure Divert such run-off to basin for settlement The nutrient rich water can be used as fertilizer in the fields
v Separate drainage of sewage and rain water should be provided to prevent overflow of sewage with rainwater
vi Planting trees would reduce pollution by sediments and will also prevent soil erosion

Classification of Treatment Methods
Biological Unit Processes Treatment methods in which the removal of contaminants is brought about by biological activity are known as biological unit processes
This is primarily used to remove biodegradable organic substances from the wastewater either in colloidal or dissolved form
In the biological unit process organic matter is converted into gases that can escape to the atmosphere and into bacterial cells which can be removed by settling
Biological treatment is also used for nitrogen removal and for phosphorous and sulphate removal from the wastewater
The different treatment methods used in wastewater treatment plant are classified in three different categories as
bull Primary Treatment Refers to physical unit operations
bull Secondary Treatment Refers to chemical and biological unit processes
bull Tertiary Treatment Refers to combination of all three ie physical unit operations and chemical or biological unit processes
used after secondary treatment

WATER POLLUTION
Causes Sources of Water Pollution
bull Point sources are specific sites (single location) near water which directly discharge effluents into them Major point sources of water pollution are industries power plants underground coal mines offshore oil wells etc
bull The discharge from non-point sources is not at any particular site rather these sources are scattered which individually or collectively pollute water
bull Surface run-off from agricultural fields overflowing small drains rain water sweeping roads and fields atmospheric deposition etc are the non-point sources of water pollution
WATER POLLUTION Ground water pollution bull Ground water forms about 62 of the total water available on planet earth and is
about 30 times more than surface water (streams lakes and estuaries)bull Ground water seems to be less prone to pollution as the soil mantle through which
water passes helps to retain various contaminants due to its cation exchange capacitybull However potential sources of ground water pollution are Septic tanks industry
(textile chemical tanneries) deep well injection mining etcbull Ground water pollution with arsenic fluoride and nitrate are posing serious health
hazards
Surface water pollutionbull The major sources of surface water pollution are
1 Sewage Pouring the drains and sewers in fresh water bodies causes water pollution The problem is severe in cities
2 Industrial effluents Industrial wastes containing toxic chemicals acids alkalis metallic salts phenols cyanides ammonia radioactive substances etc are sources of water pollution They also cause thermal (heat) pollution of water
3 Synthetic detergents Synthetic detergents used in washing and cleaning produce foam and pollute water
WATER POLLUTION4 Agrochemicals Agrochemicals like fertilizers (containing nitrates and phosphates)
and pesticides (insecticides fungicides herbicides etc) washed by rain-water and surface run-off pollute water
5 Oil Oil spillage into sea-water during drilling and shipment pollute it6 Waste heat Waste heat from industrial discharges increases the temperature of
water bodies and affects distribution and survival of sensitive species
Effects of Water Pollutionbull Toxic Compounds
o Pollutants such as heavy metals pesticides cyanides and many other organic and inorganic compounds are harmful to aquatic organisms
o The demand of DO increases with addition of biodegradable organic matter which is expressed as biological oxygen demand (BOD)
o BOD is defined as the amount of DO required to aerobically decompose biodegradable organic matter of a given volume of water over a period of 5 days at 20degC
o More BOD values of any water sample are associated with poor water quality
WATER POLLUTIONo The non-biodegradable toxic compounds biomagnify in the food chain and cause
toxic effects at various levels of food chain o Some of these substances like pesticides methyl mercury etc move into the bodies
of organisms from the medium in which these organisms live o Substances like DDT are not water soluble and have affinity for body lipids These
substances tend to accumulate in the organismrsquos body This process is called bioaccumulation
o The concentration of these toxic substances builds up at successive levels of food chain This process is called biomagnification
o Following is the example of biomagnification of DDT in aquatic food chain
WATER POLLUTIONHeavy Metal toxicity
o Some heavy metals like lead mercury and cadmium cause various types of diseases
o Mercury dumped into water is transformed into water soluble methyl mercury by bacterial action
o Methyl mercury accumulates in fish In 1953 people in Japan suffered from numbness of body parts vision and hearing problems and abnormal mental behaviour This disease called Minamata disease occurred due to consumption of methyl mercury contaminated fish caught from Minamata bay in Japan The disease claimed 50 lives and permanently paralysed over 700 persons
o Pollution by another heavy metal cadmium had caused the disease called Itai-itai in the people of Japan The disease was caused by cadmium contaminated rice The rice fields were irrigated with effluents of zinc smelters and drainage water from mines In this disease bones liver kidney lungs pancreas and thyroid are affected
o Arsenic pollution of ground water in Bangladesh and West Bengal is causing various types of abnormalities
o Nitrate when present in excess in drinking water causes blue baby syndrome or methaemoglobinemia The disease develops when a part of haemoglobin is converted into non-functional oxidized form

WATER POLLUTIONo The non-biodegradable toxic compounds biomagnify in the food chain and cause
toxic effects at various levels of food chain o Some of these substances like pesticides methyl mercury etc move into the bodies
of organisms from the medium in which these organisms live o Substances like DDT are not water soluble and have affinity for body lipids These
substances tend to accumulate in the organismrsquos body This process is called bioaccumulation
o The concentration of these toxic substances builds up at successive levels of food chain This process is called biomagnification
o Following is the example of biomagnification of DDT in aquatic food chain
WATER POLLUTIONHeavy Metal toxicity
o Some heavy metals like lead mercury and cadmium cause various types of diseases
o Mercury dumped into water is transformed into water soluble methyl mercury by bacterial action
o Methyl mercury accumulates in fish In 1953 people in Japan suffered from numbness of body parts vision and hearing problems and abnormal mental behaviour This disease called Minamata disease occurred due to consumption of methyl mercury contaminated fish caught from Minamata bay in Japan The disease claimed 50 lives and permanently paralysed over 700 persons
o Pollution by another heavy metal cadmium had caused the disease called Itai-itai in the people of Japan The disease was caused by cadmium contaminated rice The rice fields were irrigated with effluents of zinc smelters and drainage water from mines In this disease bones liver kidney lungs pancreas and thyroid are affected
o Arsenic pollution of ground water in Bangladesh and West Bengal is causing various types of abnormalities
o Nitrate when present in excess in drinking water causes blue baby syndrome or methaemoglobinemia The disease develops when a part of haemoglobin is converted into non-functional oxidized form
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
I Control of Pollution from Point sources It is easy to reduce water pollution from point sources by legislation For controlling water pollution from point sources treatment of wastewater is
essential before being discharged Parameters which are considered for reduction in such water are Total
solids biological oxygen demand (BOD) chemical oxygen demand (COD) nitrates and phosphates oil and grease toxic metals etc
Wastewater should be properly treated by primary and secondary treatments to reduce the BOD COD levels up to the permissible levels for discharge
Advanced treatment for removal of nitrates and phosphates will prevent eutrophication
Before the discharge of wastewater it should be disinfected to kill the disease-causing organisms like bacteria
Proper chlorination should be done to prevent the formation of chlorinated hydrocarbons or disinfection should be done by ozone or ultraviolet radiations
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
II Control of Pollution from Non-Point sourcesHowever due to absence of defined strategies it becomes difficult to prevent water
pollution from non-point sources
The following methods have to be followed in reducing water pollution from non-point sources
i Judicious use of agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers which will reduce their surface run-off and leaching Avoid use of these on sloped lands
ii Use of nitrogen fixing plants to supplement the use of fertilizers
iii Adopting integrated pest management to reduce reliance on pesticides
iv Prevent run-off of manure Divert such run-off to basin for settlement The nutrient rich water can be used as fertilizer in the fields
v Separate drainage of sewage and rain water should be provided to prevent overflow of sewage with rainwater
vi Planting trees would reduce pollution by sediments and will also prevent soil erosion

Physical Unit Operations Treatment methods in which the application of physical forces predominates are known as physical unit operations
Most of these methods are based on physical forces eg screening mixing flocculation sedimentation flotation and filtration
Chemical Unit Processes Treatment methods in which removal or conversion or contaminant is brought by addition of chemicals or by other chemical reaction are known as chemical unit processes for example pH correction precipitation gas transfer adsorption and disinfection
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
Classification of Treatment Methods
Biological Unit Processes Treatment methods in which the removal of contaminants is brought about by biological activity are known as biological unit processes
This is primarily used to remove biodegradable organic substances from the wastewater either in colloidal or dissolved form
In the biological unit process organic matter is converted into gases that can escape to the atmosphere and into bacterial cells which can be removed by settling
Biological treatment is also used for nitrogen removal and for phosphorous and sulphate removal from the wastewater
The different treatment methods used in wastewater treatment plant are classified in three different categories as
bull Primary Treatment Refers to physical unit operations
bull Secondary Treatment Refers to chemical and biological unit processes
bull Tertiary Treatment Refers to combination of all three ie physical unit operations and chemical or biological unit processes
used after secondary treatment

Conventional biological treatment of wastewater under aerobic conditions includes activated sludge process (ASP) and Secondary settling tank clarifier
The ASP is developed in England in 1914 The activated sludge process consists of an aeration tank where
organic matter is stabilized by the action of bacteria under aeration and a secondary sedimentation tank (SST) is used where the biological cell mass is separated from the effluent and the settle sludge is recycled partly to the aeration tank
Recycling is necessary for activated sludge process The aeration conditions are achieved by the use of diffused or

The ASP is developed in England in 1914 The activated sludge process consists of an aeration tank where
organic matter is stabilized by the action of bacteria under aeration and a secondary sedimentation tank (SST) is used where the biological cell mass is separated from the effluent and the settle sludge is recycled partly to the aeration tank
Recycling is necessary for activated sludge process The aeration conditions are achieved by the use of diffused or

II Control of Pollution from Non-Point sourcesHowever due to absence of defined strategies it becomes difficult to prevent water
pollution from non-point sources
The following methods have to be followed in reducing water pollution from non-point sources
i Judicious use of agrochemicals like pesticides and fertilizers which will reduce their surface run-off and leaching Avoid use of these on sloped lands
ii Use of nitrogen fixing plants to supplement the use of fertilizers
iii Adopting integrated pest management to reduce reliance on pesticides
iv Prevent run-off of manure Divert such run-off to basin for settlement The nutrient rich water can be used as fertilizer in the fields
v Separate drainage of sewage and rain water should be provided to prevent overflow of sewage with rainwater
vi Planting trees would reduce pollution by sediments and will also prevent soil erosion

WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
Treatment of water and wastewaterClassification of Treatment MethodsThe individual treatment methods are usually classified as
1048766 Physical unit operations
1048766 Chemical unit processes
1048766 Biological unit processes
Physical Unit Operations Treatment methods in which the application of physical forces predominates are known as physical unit operations
Most of these methods are based on physical forces eg screening mixing flocculation sedimentation flotation and filtration
Chemical Unit Processes Treatment methods in which removal or conversion or contaminant is brought by addition of chemicals or by other chemical reaction are known as chemical unit processes for example pH correction precipitation gas transfer adsorption and disinfection

Classification of Treatment Methods
Biological Unit Processes Treatment methods in which the removal of contaminants is brought about by biological activity are known as biological unit processes
This is primarily used to remove biodegradable organic substances from the wastewater either in colloidal or dissolved form
In the biological unit process organic matter is converted into gases that can escape to the atmosphere and into bacterial cells which can be removed by settling
Biological treatment is also used for nitrogen removal and for phosphorous and sulphate removal from the wastewater
The different treatment methods used in wastewater treatment plant are classified in three different categories as
bull Primary Treatment Refers to physical unit operations
bull Secondary Treatment Refers to chemical and biological unit processes
bull Tertiary Treatment Refers to combination of all three ie physical unit operations and chemical or biological unit processes
used after secondary treatment

Treatment of water and wastewaterThe layout of conventional water treatment plant is as follows
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
Treatment of water and wastewaterThe typical functions of each unit operations are given in the following table
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
Treatment SystemsPrimary Treatment (I) Screen- It is the first unit operation in wastewater treatment plant This is
used to remove larger particles of floating and suspended matter by coarse screening
The screen composed of parallel bars or rods is called a rack The screens are used to protect pumps valves pipelines and other
appurtenances from damage or clogging by rags and large objects
WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
Treatment SystemsPrimary Treatment (ii) Equalization Tank To facilitate maintenance of uniform flow rate in the
treatment units for dampening the fluctuation in pollutant concentration in the
incoming wastewater to avoid shock loading on the treatment system

the primary sedimentation tank Rectangular PST

WATER POLLUTIONControl of Pollution
Treatment SystemsSecondary Treatment Aeration systemBiological Treatment
Conventional biological treatment of wastewater under aerobic conditions includes activated sludge process (ASP) and Secondary settling tank clarifier
The ASP is developed in England in 1914 The activated sludge process consists of an aeration tank where
organic matter is stabilized by the action of bacteria under aeration and a secondary sedimentation tank (SST) is used where the biological cell mass is separated from the effluent and the settle sludge is recycled partly to the aeration tank
Recycling is necessary for activated sludge process The aeration conditions are achieved by the use of diffused or
mechanical aeration

Oxidation Pond Low cost natural treatment system Biochemical oxidation of organic is done by bacteria Oxygen for bacteria is provided by atmospheric wind and
algae present in the pond Algae utilize the nutrients and CO2 (provided by the
bacteria) for photosynthesis and supplements the bacteria with oxygen (a product of photosynthesis)
This symbiotic relationship between the algae and bacteria is a major feature of OP
Depth of the OP must be minimal( lt 05m) to keep entire pond area in aerobic condition
If depth is more mechanical aerators can be provided( Aerated lagoon)

Conventional biological treatment of wastewater under aerobic conditions includes activated sludge process (ASP) and Secondary settling tank clarifier
The ASP is developed in England in 1914 The activated sludge process consists of an aeration tank where
organic matter is stabilized by the action of bacteria under aeration and a secondary sedimentation tank (SST) is used where the biological cell mass is separated from the effluent and the settle sludge is recycled partly to the aeration tank
Recycling is necessary for activated sludge process The aeration conditions are achieved by the use of diffused or
mechanical aeration
