Eco Engineered Remedy for Water Pollution Using Artificial Floating Island
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 0
Abstract
In recent years, water pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems. The Mula, Mutha and Pavana rivers, flowing through the Pune City and Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial area, are polluted with untreated domestic sewage and partially untreated industrial waste from nallas. The city is under continuous stress due to population growth, industrial growth and waste generation. The river water quality has deteriorated with respect to some of major water quality parameters like Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and phosphates levels. In account of Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), all the pollution parameters are above permissible limits in Pune Rivers. Water pollution is caused mainly by the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated sewage, industrial effluent and waste-water runoff from households. Water pollution has its most immediate effect on human health, through water borne diseases also people living near the Pune Rivers and nallas suffer from bad odor, mosquito and other problems. Thus when highly polluted nalla water discharges to the river causes water pollution. Hence there is need to treat nalla water effectively so as to minimize this pollution. Artificial Floating Island is a cost effective and environment friendly method for removing pollutants from the water streams like river, lakes and nallas. Its core is utilizing aquatic plants and root’s microbes to absorb nitrogen and phosphorus elements, degrade organic matter. AFI has been applied to some water pollution control projects and has got several achievements. In this study, AFI has been proposed for treating nalla water from PCMC area. Various parameters like BOD, COD, TS, and pH is to be analyzed.
