by Kundan Yadav

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Geography / Earth Science - Physical Geography, Geomorphology, Environmental Studies, course: Civil Engineering, language: English, abstract: Huge volumes of freshwater can be conserved if the exercise of re-using waste water is encouraged. This research was based on the characterization of waste water of HSTU Campus situated at Dinajpur. Campus needs large amount of water for the agricultural and landscape irrigation. So to reduce the pressure over fresh water and to reduce the requirement of fresh water, treatment is required for waste water and then it is utilized for various purposes. And also for proper management, the waste water can safely dispose into pond in order to support aquatic life. Samples of the waste water were analyzed for the physical and chemical characteristics such as pH, TDS, TSS, Hardness, Alkalinity, DO, COD, NO3-N, Phosphorus and Boron. After studying it is found that waste water from this campus is reused for gardening and proper management, after giving the treatment by using activated charcoal as filter media.
