Executive summary
Lucknow has begun development on approx 400 MLD capacity sewage treatment facility in the
city, to improve the sewerage system and reduce pollutant loads in the River Gomti. However, it
will take time to build and operate the STP, and according to NGT norms, in-situ treatment of
wastewater drains is required until all drains are tapped. This is to be planned accordingly to each
drain by studying its basic parameter, slope analysis, topography etc. Currently, the Gomti Nagar
Drain has been selected and total amount of waste water that needs to be treated is 30 MLD.
Groundwater supplies are now meeting the city's water needs.
Due to the lack of a sewerage treatment plant, all types of wastewater (grey water, effluent from excreta
containment, and storm water) flow into the river Gomti and are connected by water drains.
Lucknow Nagar Nigam (LNN) decided to implement the project on In-Situ Bioremediation based
Waste Water Treatment after realizing the importance of the in-situ bioremediation approach for
wastewater management as an alternative solution to achieve city-wide sanitation while maximizing
resource utilization (IST).
The drain will be treated through microbial remediation and Phytoremediation (Constructed
wetland technology), while the remaining drains will be treated through Microbial
Bioremediation.
The proposed technology is completely based on gravity, uses no chemicals, and requires minimal
energy only for aeration. System components include Settler, gabion structure, and planted bed
system.
The treated water will be tested every month or if when required to observe the quality and discharged
into the river Gomti
The total cost of the project is Rs 44544366.80 (excluding taxes), with the bifurcation as below:
1. Survey and DPR Charges: Rs 495443.66
2. Treatment cost of Bio & Phytoremediation Rs 44544366.80

1. Background and Introduction
Lucknow: Location and Climatic Condition:

The location of Lucknow is in the state of Uttar Pradesh in India. Situated on the northern Gangetic
plains of India, Lucknow is the capital city of Uttar Pradesh. The geographical location of Lucknow is
between 26.50° North and 80.50° East. Lucknow is located at an elevation of 123 meters above sea level.
This city was known by the name of Awadh during ancient times. The Gomti River, the chief
geographical feature, meanders through the city, dividing it into the Trans-Gomti and Cis-Gomti regions.
Lucknow has a warm humid subtropical climate with cool, dry winters from December to February and
dry, hot summers from April to June. The rainy season is from mid-June to mid-September, when
Lucknow gets an average rainfall of 1010 mm (40 in) mostly from the south-west monsoon winds.
Waste water Generation in India:

It is a well known fact that cities/towns in the country do not have facilities for treatment and disposal of
sewage. Class I and Class II cities, altogether generate 38,255 MLD of sewage and treatment facility is
available only for 11, 787 MLD leaving a gap of 26,468 MLD (69%). This situation is resulting to water
pollution in the recipient water bodies. In view of prevailing situation and considering magnitude of
sewage pollution, Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) proposes to launch ‘In-situ sewage treatment
with bioremediation technology; a scheme which is relatively cost-effective and offers simpler solution
for Municipalities.
In-situ Bioremediation refers to “Treatment of sewage in the running battery of flow without displacing;
and by employing microbial consortia in aerobic and facultative environment to degrade sewage
resulting into CO2 and H2O and reduce odour”. In-situ treatment (IST) is simple and easy-to-operate and
does not require major modification of the drain. Naturally occurring Microbial consortia is used in the
treatment process or activated to degrade sewage in flowing conditions without diverting the flow and no
additional requirement of land or Power is involved. The technology is considered to be cost-effective,
relatively cheaper than conventional treatment methods, easy to handle, not requiring skilled man-power
to operate. In the process, the microbes are activated and allowed to multiply by adding or extra-cellular
enzymes in presence of oxygen and available food in form of organic matter and sewage degradation
takes place. During the inoculation period, intensive dosing is done in the site and after stabilization of
the treatment, normal dosing is applied. The microbial dosing is done as per requirement assessed in
terms of organic pollutants (microbial food) content in sewage. The activated microbes consume organic
mass and utilize the nutrients from the water body for their growth and multiplication; thus enhance the
cleaning action of wastewater. The anaerobic as well as facultative bacteria play a vital role in treatment
2
of sewage without causing any release of foul odour. In the process of treatment pollutants in terms of
BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, heavy metals and toxic chemicals are reduced. Due to the action of the dominant
microbial consortia, the harmful pathogenic bacteria like E.coli, etc are suppressed or eliminated from
the treated water.
IN-SITU TREATMENT
In-situ treatment (IST) in drain does not envisage any major modification of the drain. Such treatment is
simple and easy-to-operate. Plants or Microbial consortia or both used in the treatment, degrade sewage
in flowing conditions without diverting the flow and no additional requirement of land or electrical
Power. Cost-effective and the bioremediation of sewage is accomplished with consortia of beneficial
bacteria isolated from the native site or using the native plants population. In Initial process, the microbes
are activated and multiply in presence or absence of oxygen as applicable, and food available in form of
organic matter present in sewage. Attachment of the microbes to the plant roots provides additional
support and survival to both plants and microbes. During the inoculation period, intensive dosing is done
and after stabilization of the treatment, normal dosing is applied. The microbial dosing is done as per
requirement assessed in terms of organic content of sewage (i.e. BOD). The activated microbes consume
organic mass and utilize the nutrients from sewage for their growth and multiplication and thus enhances
the cleaning action of wastewater. The anaerobic as well as facultative bacteria play a vital role in
treatment of sewage without causing any release of foul odour. In the process of treatment, pollutants like
BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, heavy metals and toxic chemicals are reduced.
ADVANTAGES AND ECOLOGICAL SERVICES OF ALTERNATIVE BIOLOGICAL

TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY
In situ treatment methods such as constructed wetland system, phytoremediation, Eco Bio Block system,
microbial bio remediation are most favorable methods for alternative biological treatment technology of
drains. Although above treatment systems are temporary provision but it may be adopted for further polishing
of STP effluent. Alternative biological treatment technologies are not only useful in improving water quality
of drains / rivers but are also helpful in rejuvenation of the ecology of a river system. Benefits of alternative
biological treatment technologies are highlighted below:
 Alternative biological treatment technology methods such as phytoremediation or wetland systems
are efficient in terms of nutrient removal such as removal of nitrogen and phosphorous.
 All alternative biological treatment technologies are low in energy incentive and not only reduces
carbon footprint thereby minimizing climate change impact but also contributes to carbon
sequestration.
 Constructed Wetlands have highest microbial diversity that will biodegrade not only organic but all
emergent pollutants including odor producing substances & gases, antibiotic, detergent,
3
pharmaceutical products, etc.

 The technologies provide benefits like increase in the biodiversity and biomass production apart from
habitat conservation.
 Constructed Wetlands may attract migratory birds, as well as provide aesthetic and recreational
services to the public.
 Studies indicate that there is massive reduction in pathogenic microbes in alternative biological
treatment technology as compared to conventional treatment.
 In-situ remediation technique does not require much energy, its maintenance cost is relatively low, it
is easy to develop, operate and manage as compared to conventional technology. Besides high
reduction efficiency of BOD, different alternative treatment technologies are efficient in increasing
Dissolve Oxygen (DO) and reducing Fecal Coliform (FC) e.g. Phytoremediation technique can
reduce FC by 50% and increase DO from 0 to 5 mg/l; Oxidation Pond can reduce FC by more than
95% and increase DO from 0 to 5mg/l; similarly, lagoons are efficient in reduction of FC by 50-70%.
 The cost of alternative biological treatment technology is extremely low.
 In-situ remediation is more efficient in restoring self-purification system of river and also
immobilization of heavy metals.
 Constructed wetlands contribute to groundwater recharge as well as results in buffering of ambient
temperature and odor.
In 2015, Government of India launched a national flagship programme - Atal Mission for Rejuvenation
and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) with a focus on providing funds for urban renewal projects for
providing services to households and build amenities in cities which improve the quality of life for all,
especially the poor and the disadvantaged. Under AMRUT, the thrust areas include sewerage and
septage management which is inclusive of decentralized wastewater management. There are various
other sources of funds that may be sought from the Government missions (e.g. Smart Cities Mission
(SCM), Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY), fifteenth finance
commission) and private finance (that includes corporate social responsibility - CSR, microfinance,
housing finance institutions, and commercial banks) to support effective wastewater management.

CHALLENGES WITH APPLICATION OF ALTERNATIVE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT

TECHNOLOGY
 Application of any in-situ bioremediation of wastewater requires obstruction wall (check dam / weir)
to slow down the velocity of flowing water. Any flowing wastewater in storm water drains carry huge
volume of floating material (solid waste, plastic waste etc.) and silt. Such obstruction to slow down of
the velocity of wastewater results in trapping of floating material and deposition of silt.
 Siltation of drains will result in ponding of wastewater in upstream of such structures that may also
result in flooding of upstream areas. Therefore, provisions must be made for regular removal and
proper disposal of deposited silt. Floating matter collected also need to be disposed off in scientific
manner.
 Spacing between the gabions need to be cleaned on regular basis as it may get choked with silt and
floating materials.
 Efficiency decrease in monsoon due to high flow.
 It needs regular harvest of biomass and cleaning of physical filters.
 Difficult to operate when depth of water in drain is more than three feet.
 Slow process as compared to conventional treatment.
 Not effective in backwater, flood water from river on high tides.
Table 1 illustrates various sources available through central government that may be explored for
implementation of a wastewater management project.

Table 1: Opportunities for funding from central government
Program Opportunity for funding in decentralized sanitation embedded in different program

guidelines
AMRUT Funds can be sought for creating “decentralized sewerage

systems,…..recycling and reuse of wastewater”
HRIDAY One of the key components that the program can fund includes “Provision of basic
services…and its linkages with city infrastructure/ trunks for water and wastewater
management and treatment”
Smart Cities Mission Sanitation (particularly wastewater recycling and storm water reuse) is one of the
core infrastructure elements included in the program
PMAY – Housing for All Program guidelines mentions that “……if these are located in the peri-urban/
newly developed/ contact areas where trunk sewer is not available, then these
toilets can be connected to on-site/ decentralized sanitation systems”
Swachh Bharat Mission Program guidelines mention that “….In the event that a sewerage system is not
(SBM) available within 30metres from the proposed household toilet, in addition to the
construction of the toilet superstructure, an on-site treatment system……should
also be constructed for the collection, treatment and/or disposal of sewage at, or
near the point of generation’.
Namami Gange Program guidelines refer to “….in-situ treatment in open drains”
Fifteenth Finance The FFC recommends basic grants to ULBs “….with the purpose of providing
Commission (FFC) unconditional support for delivery of basic services that includes water supply,
sanitation including septage management, sewage and solid waste
management…among other services assigned to them under relevant legislature.”
Source: NIUA (2017) “Handbook on Decentralised wastewater treatment module, 2017” Delhi, India.
Currently in Luchnow, there is still long way to go as only few drains are tapped with STP plants and for
others, no operational sewerage system and all kind of wastewaters (grey water, effluent from excreta
containment, storm water) flow in water drains constructed under local body which find their ways into the
Gomti river. In view of this, the In-situ approach would be beneficial as it not only provides for a long-term
solution for small communities but is more flexible which makes it affordable and reliable. While there are
many impediments and challenges towards wastewater and faecal sludge management in Lucknow, these
can be overcome by suitable sanitation planning and its implementation.
6
Centralized management of the In-Situ wastewater treatment systems could be executed by the urban local
body (ULB) to ensure that they are inspected and maintained regularly. However, management strategies
should be site specific accounting for social, cultural, environmental and economic conditions in the target
area.
1.1. Rationale for DPR preparation
The workshop held on 25th August 2021, related to the In-situ treatment in Open Drains through
Bioremediation/Phytoremediation as an interim remedial measure until the STP is installed. It has also been
mentioned by Honourable Additional Chief Secretary that NGT is being reiterated constantly that bio-
remediation/phyto-remediation must be pursued as an interim measure till the STPs were established. This
was because the continuing discharge of large quantities of sewage into the drains and ultimately the rivers
was unacceptable. Following the discussion, Hon. Add. Chief Secretary has also ordered to respective ULBs
to submit the Action Plan related to Bioremediation/Phytoremediation in their towns. In this regard, Municipal
commissioner Lucknow Nagar Nigam has requested Regional Centre for urban and Environmental Studies,
Lucknow to conduct a survey and provide the DPR for the same. RCUES Lucknow has conducted a detailed
survey focusing on following parameters:
1. Flow and retention: the water flow and dimension of drain falling directly into the Gomti river. The flow
map along the wards and its fall into the river has been already designed by Nagar Nigam Lucknow.
2. Space: Whether the space is available for impounding the wastewater to provide sufficient retention time
for the treatment.
3. Pollution Load: water contamination levels of organic, nutrients, or metal pollutants. Also the location of
any industry (organized/unorganized) present in the area. Only domestic waste water is present in the drains
reflecting the CPHEEO water quality parameters to be followed.
4. Availability wetland ecology and native wetland species
The project is aimed to:
Showcase a good management practice through In-Situ wastewater treatment and local reuse.
Improve understanding on advantages and challenges of In-Situ approach in Lucknow through
pilot model project.
Sensitization through a high-visibility project and behavioral change for cleaning of drains.
7
Develop skills of the ULB staff for implementation, operations & maintenance and monitoring of a
systems based on similar technologies.
LNN carried out the feasibility study along with the assessment of potential sites for In-Situ Bioremediation
and related documents have been collected from Executive Engineer Office Lucknow in this regard. Thus,
this DPR is prepared against the above background and will be submitted to Lucknow Nagar Nigam for their
necessary action and perusal.
1.2 . Scope of DPR
This DPR is prepared for a model project of In-Situ wastewater management system of the drain of approx
30 MLD cumulative capacity through Bioremediation and phytoremediation before meeting into the River
Gomti. The DPR attempts to offer the following:
i. Methodology to screen potential sites and select the most suitable site to house the proposed model
project.
ii. Complete technical and financial (capital and O&M cost) details of a sustainable IST Technology.
The technical details provided in the DPR doesn’t include the cost for the treatment of septage directly
coming from toilets and bathrooms to the ponds. This waste water must be checked and either carried to
the individual/common septic tank or separate treatment system. Separate DPR should be raised for the
same by the ULB. However, this DPR does include brief analysis of the wastewater generation quantity and
quality, its proximity to the model project location.

2. About Lucknow
Lucknow is the capital and the largest city of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and it is also the second largest
urban agglomeration in Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow is the administrative headquarters of the eponymous district
and division. Having a population of 2.8 million as per 2011 census, it is the eleventh most populous city and
the twelfth-most populous urban agglomeration of India. Lucknow has always been a multicultural city that
flourished as a North Indian cultural and artistic hub, and the seat of power of Nawabs in the 18th and 19th
centuries. It continues to be an important centre of governance, administration, education, commerce,
aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, culture, tourism, music and poetry.
The city stands at an elevation of approximately 123 metres (404 ft) above sea level. Lucknow city had an
area of 402 km2 (155 square miles) till December 2019, when 88 villages were added to the municipal limits
and the area increased to 631 km2 (244 square miles). Bounded on the east by Barabanki, on the west by
Unnao, on the south by Raebareli and in the north by Sitapur and Hardoi, Lucknow sits on the northwestern
shore of the Gomti River. As of 2008, there were 110 wards in the city. Morphologically, three clear
demarcations exist: The Central business district, which is a fully built up area, comprises Hazratganj,
Aminabad and Chowk. A middle zone surrounds the inner zone with cement houses while the outer zone
consists of slums.
According to the provisional report of 2011 Census of India, Lucknow city had a population of 2,815,601, of
which 1,470,133 were men and 1,345,468 women. This was an increase of 25.36% compared to the 2001
figures. Between 1991 and 2001, the population registered growth of 32.03%, significantly lower than the
37.14% which was registered between 1981 and 1991. The initial provisional data suggests a population
density of 1,815 inhabitants per square kilometre (4,700/sq mi) in 2011, compared to 1,443 in 2001. As the
total area covered by the Lucknow district is only about 2,528 square kilometres (976 sq mi), the population
density was much than the 690 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,800/sq mi) recorded at the state level. The
Scheduled Caste population of the state represented 21.3% of the total population, a figure higher than the
state average of 21.15%.
Gomti is an alluvial river that originates from the lower Himalayas around 30 km east of Pilibhit town in Uttar
Pradesh. Fed by rain and groundwater, it is an important source of water supply to cities of Lucknow, Jaunpur,
and several towns and villages before it joins the Ganga near Varanasi, contributing 7.39 billion cubic metres
of water every year to it. Increase in population also led to greater extraction of water from the river and
underground aquifers besides the greater amount of pollution with 27 drains dumping the city’s sewage into
the river today. Groundwater levels declined to the extent of 0.5 m to 1.0 m per year in most of the city area
due to increased tubewell and borewell connections since 2005, said a report by the Uttar Pradesh State
9
Groundwater Department. On the other hand, dumping of municipal and construction waste on the river banks
added to the pollution. Eﬀorts should be on restoring immediate river corridors such as wetlands and seasonal
ditches that can improve base ﬂows to the river.

3. Applicable rules and regulation
As per CPCB and the Gazette of India, Ministry of Environment, forest and climate change released a
notification dated 13th October, 2017 where the standards that are to be achieved for safe disposal of
treated water from any sewage treatment plant are suggested (Table 2).

4. Site assessment criteria and matrix
The factors determining site selection include the technical feasibility and also aspects related to the
ease of acquiring permission for implementation, land availability, it’s potential to be a high impact site,
social acceptance and local reuse of treated wastewater. Also, understanding the local context is crucial
for technology selection and should be done only after conducting a comprehensive site evaluation.

5. Survey and data collection for selected site
The selected site is to be developed as a Constructed Wetland/Bioremediation site for safe disposal
of wastewater into Gomti River. Some beautification in terms of landscaping can also be done in order
to create awareness among people and children. Civil survey for area marking, slope analysis and
contours has been done and its drawing is provided in later section.
5.1. Wastewater source

Main source of waste water if the domestic wastewater from the nearby areas. The estimation has been
done according to the CPHEEO norms. Another source of water is rain water and storm water in rainy
season.
5.2. Wastewater quality
No previous water quality analysis has been done till now. Wastewater characteristic at the inlet is
assumed to be similar to domestic sewage of any residential area. It is assumed that incoming
wastewater will not contain any hazardous industrial, chemical or biomedical waste. The following
input waste water quality parameters are considered as a reference of the input wastewater quality
(Table 4).

5.4. Re us e & Safe Disposal of treated waste water

The proposed In-situ system will treat 30 MLD of waste water on daily basis. The treated waste water
will be discharged in the river Gomti. It is suggested that the treated waste water is used in meeting only
non-potable water demand. Irrigation water requirements in the park can be met by the treated waste
water. This will also help conserve groundwater. Also, it will create the social awareness on water
conservation and its reuse.

6. Proposed sites for model IST
As indicated in section 1.2., this DPR consists of a detailed report for implementation of a model project based on In-Situ Bioremediation approach of wastewater
management. The initial criteria for proposal were on the basis of land availability at a high impact site that could have better prospects to achieve the required
outcomes. Data from each site was collected during the visits and subsequent surveys were analyzed on the basis of a ten point scoring matrix developed.
Figure 5. Satellite Image of the meeting the Gomti Nagar Drain in Gomti river

Treatment technologies at various drains in Lucknow. This has been finalized by considering the following
parameters:
1. Flow and retention: the water flow and dimension of each drain falling directly into the Gomti river. The
flow of the drain was calculated to be approx 30 MLD.
2. Space: Whether the space is available for impounding the wastewater to provide sufficient retention time for
the treatment. It was observed that drains with waste water shows possibility to treat with both
phytoremediation and bioremediation as the desired land space is available.
3. Pollution Load: water contamination levels of organic, nutrients, or metal pollutants. Also the location of
any industry (organized/unorganized) present in the area. Only domestic waste water is present in the drains
reflecting the CPHEEO water quality parameters to be followed.
4. Availability wetland ecology and native wetland species
The information collected based on the above points has provided the feasibility about the implementation of
Phytoremediation as sufficient land is available along the drain till it reaches the river bank. However,
availability of the land is at the banks but it is not practical to construct a wetland structure on the bank, since
heavy water flows can destroy such structures. Although, the floating wetlands can be developed by using
native plant species along the drains with gabions in combination with microbial bioremediation for
effective waste water treatment.
Treatment of Untapped/ Overflow Drains by Using Bioremediation (bacteria or enzyme intervention)/

SCHEMES/MODELS FOR DIFFERENT ORDERS OF DRAIN

Categorization of drains are made based on the experience of drain monitoring in Ganga
Catchment. Schemes/ Models defined for treatment are generic and suggestive in nature and
any application of such model requires specific design as per site requirements. The land
requirements mentioned are indicative and it shall be worked out as per the design criteria.
Summary of different treatment schemes is shown in table 1
6.1 Model 1: Minor sewage drain with moderate pollution load & broader channel
a) Drain hydrological characteristics:
 Physical Characteristics of Drainage System
Width of Drain : ˃ 15 Meter
Depth of Flowing Water : 1 - 3 Meter
 Organic Loading
BOD : < 100 mg/l
 Hydraulic Loading
Flow : < 20 MLD
b) Treatment scheme: Oxidation ponds/ Facultative pond (1-2 no.) + Physical Treatment unit
+ wetland/phytoremediation or waste stabilization pond
c) Applicability: This type of treatment scheme is suitable for drains carrying moderate
pollution load sewage with wide channel suitable for in-situ construction. This type of model
is suitable for 1st and 2nd order drains.
d) Design aspect: Depending on the space availability and the flow rates of the 1st and 2nd order
drain, oxidation pond, and a wetland with furrows and ridges should be developed. The ridges
are made of stones/ pebbles specified in the typical model. Area and depth requirement for
such system shall be worked out as per design criteria (Figure 6). In in-situ treatment
techniques, length of the drain is only variable parameter for area calculation whereas
available width of drain will remain fixed. Therefore, any design for in-situ is dependent on
length of the drain.

6.2 Model 2: Minor sewage drain with moderate pollution load & wide channel
Width of Drain : 3-15 Meter
 Organic Loading
BOD : < 100 mg/l
Flow : < 20 MLD
b) Treatment scheme: Oxidation ponds/ Facultative pond (1-2 no.) + Physical Treatment unit
+ wetland/phytoremediation or waste stabilization pond
pollution load sewage with wide channel suitable for in-situ construction. This type of model
is suitable for 2nd and 3rd order drains. For hilly areas, such system has to be developed in the
marshy depressions/valleys. In other words, it will be developed at the confluence of the
drain with depression /low lying area in the valley.
d) Design aspect: Depending on the space availability and the flow rates of the 2nd and 3rd order
drain, dimensions of oxidation pond and a wetland need to be customised based on the
available flow width to provide the required hydraulic time of at least 20 hr in oxidation pond
and wetland system. Treatment scheme configuration may be customised In-situ/ Ex-situ
based on the flow width. Area and depth requirement for such system shall be worked out as
per design criteria (Figure – 7).

6.3 Model 3: Minor sewage drain with moderate pollution load & narrow channel
Width of Drain : < 3 Meter
 Organic Loading
BOD : < 100 mg/l
Flow : < 20 MLD
b) Treatment scheme: Oxidation ponds/ Facultative pond (1-2 no.) + Physical Treatment
unit + wetland/phytoremediation or waste stabilization pond or Ex-Situ Activated
Sludge Method
pollution load sewage with channel width of less than 3m. This type of model is suitable
for 3rd or higher order drains. For hilly areas, such system has to developed in the
marshy depressions/valleys. In other words, it will be developed at the confluence of
the drain with depression /low lying area in the valley.
d) Design aspect: Due to less flow width, In- situ treatment is generally not feasible in
these categories of drains. Ex situ model may be best suitable for providing sufficient
hydraulic retention time in oxidation pond + wetland system or Waste Stabilization
Pond as per the space available. Area and depth requirement for such system shall be
worked out as per design criteria (Figure – 8).

or Waste Stabilization Pond
c) Applicability: This type of treatment scheme is suitable for drains carrying high pollution
load (untreated sewage + industrial effluent) with channel width more than 15 m. This type
of model is suitable for 1st and 2nd order drains.
d) Design aspect: Depending on the space availability and the flow rates of the 1st and 2nd order
drain, oxidation pond, and a wetland with furrows and ridges should be developed. The ridges
are made of stones/ pebbles specified in the typical model. Area and depth requirement for
such system shall be worked out as per design criteria (Figure – 9). In in-situ treatment
techniques, length of the drain is only variable parameter for area calculation whereas
available width of drain will remain fixed. Therefore, any design for in-situ is dependent on
length of the drain.

6.7 Constructed Wetland System (Planted Gravel Filter (REED) Bed)
The main function of a horizontal PGF Bed is to remove excessive nitrates, ammonium and phosphates
from the treated wastewater, provides aeration, and pathogen removal during by the filtration process.
Horizontal sub-surface flow of wastewater through the root zones of wetland plants further aerates
wastewater. Plantation of wetland plants in PGF should be done at some distance from the inlet and
outlet points. At the same time, plantation needs to be done at equal distance within PGF for easy growth
of roots. The inlet pipe should be placed in the middle of the filter bed wall (refer drawing), whereas the
outlet gutter is placed at the bottom of the other end of PGF.
Design specifications:
Filter Media - Bed is to be filled with 0.6m thick filter media (gravels/ screened rocks of
size 2-
5cm) that is locally available. Bigger crushed stones of size between 60-80mm to be kept
at the bottom and at inlet and outlet for easy movement of treated waste water.
Wetland plants - Canna and Typha are recommended. Local plant nursery can be
contacted to supply these plants.
The bottom slope of the PGF bed should maintained at 1% for maintaining gravity flow.

Drawing of Constructed wetland design
Constructed Wetlands (CWs)

CWS also uses principle of Phytoremediation techniques. It integrates microbial bioremediation,
phytoremediation and root-zone treatment in addition to providing the benefits of oxidation
pond and physical filters.
Constructed wetlands (CWs) are scientifically proven and widely adopted across the world as
alternative and complementary technology to conventional technologies for sewage treatment. A
well-designed constructed wetland system will work on the same principle as that of STP but
with greater microbial diversity associated with diverse plant species that effectively biodegrade
organics and other pollutants in sewage and without energy.
A constructed wetland is highly versatile and can be designed for drains that have different
topography hydraulics and physical characteristics of the drain (width, length, height). A
constructed wetland system can be used as primary/ secondary/ tertiary treatment and with
continuous flow. Figure 2 depicts schematic flow diagram of a Constructed Wetland System.
29
1718
Figure 15 Schematic Diagram of Constructed Wetland Systems
A typical CW system should have the following components:

i. An aerobic oxidation pond with depth of water ranging from < 1m to 5m; water may be
retained for at least 8-10 hours and consequently there may be slight rise in the water level
(up to 30cm) from the normal water level in the drain.
(a) there may be a screen (iron mash having 4-10 mm aperture) before the oxidation pond to
remove solid waste and another screen (2-4 mm aperture) before water
1718
30
enters into two physical filter tanks / chambers/ zones/ channels from oxidation
pond.
ii. Three physical filter tanks/ chambers/ channels/ zones are ideal for efficient
functioning; the physical filter chambers are separated by gabions of boulders of different
sizes and embedded in iron mesh.
(a) the first chamber/ channel/ zone is separated from the second chamber by a gabion
made of boulders of 2' within the chamber channel and there will be 3 ridges made of
stones/ pebbles of 200 to 250 mm.
(b) The second chamber is separated from third chamber by a gabion made of
boulders of 1’ size with 3-4 ridges of pebbles of 180 mm.
(c) The third chamber is separated from the constructed wetland by gabion made of
boulders of 1’ size with 3 to 4 ridges of river bed pebbles of 150 -120 mm.
iii. Constructed wetland having 5-10 furrows of 1 to 4 m width separated by ridges of 1 m
high, 0.5m wide and composed of river bed pebbles of 80-50 mm size.
iv. Cascade outlet is made of boulders, stones and pebbles with gentle slope from the
overflow of the constructed wetlands. Water coming out from the cascade can be
recycled /stored in stagnant water bodies / wetland or channelized into the
downstream of the drain or river.
Note:
i. The height of gabions should be 1.0 m 1.5 m high and usually above the water level in
the channels/ chambers/ ponds/ zones.
ii. The typical CW system outlined above is for in situ biological remediation where the sides
of the chambers/ ponds/ channels / zones are the embankments of the drains.
iii. For ex-situ biological remediation, the four sides of chambers/ponds/ tanks should be made
of stone meshed walls of 1.5 -2 m high and 0.5 m – 1 m wide and all the
components should be contiguous with gradient so that water flows on its own. If a
gradient does not exist, a gradient channel has to be constructed.
8. Commissioning, operations and maintenance
The wastewater should be allowed to enter the system only after water leak tests, alignment test for
pipings and plumbing. Initially, inoculum (activated microbes or sludge from an existing inlet pond or
fresh cow dung slurry) is to be added to the baffled reactor. Once operational, the system requires
regular maintenance activities. This section contains suggestions and instructions for O&M of the IST.
31
Table 5: Important O&M requirements
Inlet Pond After two months of operation, enough sludge will be

accumulated at bottom inlet that needs to be emptied
(desludged) to maintain the efficiency of the system. This can be
done with the help of a vacuum pump.
Phyto-bed Regular trimming and timely removal of old plants required
Planted Gravel Filter Bed Plantation in the PGF bed is important and initially dense
plantation is recommended. The dead leaves and plants need to
be removed while maintaining PGF. Periodical harvesting is
required to maintain the efficiency of the treatment system. For
initial one to three months, the treated waste water needs to be
monitored to observe the performance of the system.
32
8.1. Do’s and Don’ts for maintenance of DWWTs
DWWTs needs low maintenance cost in comparison to conventional treatment technologies as it doesn’t
require professionally skilled man-power nor does it require electricity for the treatment process.
However, there are a few precautions to be taken during operations and maintenance that will ensure
sustained operations. Table 6 summarises same.

Do not use the treated wastewater
for portable purposes (e.g.

around the green areas).
33
8.2. Operations and maintenance
Operation and maintenance activities mainly constitute of harvesting of old duckweed plants, water
hyacinth plants, trimming of the plants of the planted filter bed, maintaining cleanliness of landscape
around the system, and desludging of inlet/pond once in two-three months. Associated costs are
estimated (Refer annexure 5: O&M and life cycle costing-ISTs). Cost of operation and maintenance
have been tabulated. The annual Operation and Maintenance cost [O and M] on an average is about
₹225000 annually. This cost includes labor cost, energy cost for the electric pumps for re-use. In
addition, information education and communication (IEC) activities are proposed such that it enables
sensitization of all stakeholders involved and supports sustainability of the project.
Initially, a close monitoring is required to set protocols for maintenance. For the same, maintenance of
a log of activities is suggested. The checklist must be maintained for monitoring O&M activities and its
documentation (See Table 7).
