1 WHY WASTEWATER TREATMENT ? Protect the environment from; Øhigh loads of suspended solids & organic matter Øeutrophication & groundwater pollution ØSubstantial load of hazadous and non biodegradable compounds ØSerious contamination with microorganisms …in order to ü establish/maintain healthy environment for flora & fauna üallow mankind to use water resources for different purposes üprevent transmission of waterborne diseases/improve public health 3

Pollution from human beings v 45 -60 g BOD/person/day v 8 - 14 g N/person/day v 0. 6 -2. 5 g P/person/day v. Virus v. Medical residues 10
Eutrophication & it’s impacts Ø Increase in rate of supply of organic matter to an ecosystem resulting nutrient built up (N, P) Ø Massive algae growth, anaerobic conditions, oxygen depletion Ø Changers in the structure and functioning of the lake and marine ecosystem Ø Reduction in biodiversity, fish and shellfish harvesting Ø Increase risk of poisoning by algal toxins 11

Health Problems §In some areas in the developing world, 75 80% of human illness is related to water and water pollution §Discharge of wastewater represents the greatest risk for pollution of potable water 13
