 ABSTRACT
NOWADAYS MANY WATER RESOURCES ARE POLLUTED BY ANTHROPOGENIC SOURCES INCLUDING
HOUSEHOLD AND AGRICULTURE WASTE AND INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES. PUBLIC CONCERN OVER THE
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF WASTEWATER POLLUTION HAS INCREASED. SEVERAL CONVENTIONAL
WASTEWATER TREATMENT TECHNIQUES, I.E. CHEMICAL, COAGULATION, ADSORPTION, ACTIVATED
SLUDGE HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO REMOVE THE POLLUTION, HOWEVER THEY ARE STILL SOME
LIMITATION, ESPECIALLY THAT OF HIGH OPERATION COSTS. THE USE OF AEROBIC WASTE WATER
TREATMENT AS A REDUCTIVE MEDIUM IS RECEIVING INCREASED INTEREST DUE TO ITS LOW
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS. IN ADDITION, IT IS EASY –TO-OBTAIN, WITH GOOD
EFFECTIVENESS AND ABILITY FOR DEGRADING CONTAMINANTS. THIS PAPER REVIEWS THE USE OF
WASTE WATER TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES TO MOVE CONTAMINANTS FROM WASTEWATER SUCH
AS HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON COMPOUNDS, HEAVY METALS, DYES, PESTICIDES, AND
HERBICIDES, WHICH REPRESENT THE MAIN POLLUTANTS IN WASTEWATER.
 INTRODUCTION

WATER TREATMENT IS THE PROCESS OF REMOVING UNDESIRABLE CHEMICALS, BIOLOGICAL CONTAMINANTS, SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND
GASES FROM WATER. THE GOAL IS TO PRODUCE WATER FIT FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE. MOST WATER IS DISINFECTED FOR HUMAN
CONSUMPTION (DRINKING WATER), BUT WATER PURIFICATION MAY ALSO BE DESIGNED FOR A VARIETY OF OTHER PURPOSES, INCLUDING
FULFILLING THE REQUIREMENT OF MEDICAL, PHARMACOLOGICAL, CHEMICAL AND INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION. AND THIS DISTILLATION,
BIOLOGICAL PROCESSES SUCH AS SLOW SAND FILTERS OR BIOLOGICAL ACTIVE CARBON. CHEMICAL PROCESSES SUCH AS FLOCCULATION
AND CHLORINATION AND THE USE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION SUCH AS ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT.

PURIFYING WATER MAY REDUCE THE CONCENTRATION OF PARTICULATE MATTER INCLUDING SUSPENDED PARTICLES PARASITES,
BACTERIA, ALGAE, VIRUSES, FUNGI, AS WELL AS REDUCING THE CONCENTRATION OF A RANGE OF DISSOLVED AND PARTICULATE MATTER.

ACCORDING TO 2007 WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) REPORT, 1.1 BILLION PEOPLE LACK ACCESS TO AN IMPROVED DRINKING
WATER SUPPLY; 88% OF THE 4 BILLION ANNUAL CASES OF DIARRHEAL DISEASE ARE ATTRIBUTED TO UNSAFE WATER AND INADEQUATE
SANITATION AND HYGIENE WHILE 1.8 MILLION PEOPLE DIE FROM DIARRHEAL DISEASE EACH YEAR. THE WHO ESTIMATES THAT 94% OF
THIS DIARRHEAL DISEASE CASES ARE PREVENTABLE THROUGH MODIFICATION TO THE ENVIRONMENT, INCLUDING ACCESS TO SAFE
WATER, SIMPLE TECHNIQUES FOR TREATING WATER AT HOME, SUCH AS CHLORINATION, FILTERS, AND SOLAR DISINFECTION, AND
STARLING IT IN SAFE CONTAINERS COULD SAVE A HUGE NUMBER OF LIVES EACH YEAR. REDUCING DEATHS FROM WATERBORNE DISEASES
IS A MAJOR PUBLIC HEALTH GOAL IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.
 OBJECTIVES

• ADVANCE TREATMENT PROCESS FOR PATALGANG RIVER.

• GETTING FRESH AND PURIFIED WATER WHICH CAN BE USED SAFETY FOR VARIOUS
PURPOSES.
• PERFORMING VARIOUS TESTS ON THE WATER SAMPLE FORM DIFFERENT LOCATION, IT
TO KNOW ITS SUITABILITY AFTER TREATMENT TO USE FOR VARIOUS PURPOSE
INCLUDING FOR DRINKING PURPOSE.
 DESCRIPTION

THE BASIC PROJECT WORK START IN THE MONTH OF JULY 2018(I.E IN RAINY SEASON),
THEN THE FIRST STEP IS TO COLLECT THE SAMPLES FROM DIFFERENT LOCATION OF
DIFFERENT REGIONS OF PATALAGANGARIVER. FURTHER WE PROCEED FOR THE LAB TESTS
OF VARIOUS SAMPLES OF DIFFERENT LOCATIONS OF THE RIVER FOR ONE DAY AT TWO
DIFFERENT BATCHES (I.E MORNING AND AFTERNOON), HERE FROM THE LAB WE GET THE
READINGS OF VARIOUS SAMPLES OF VARIOUS TESTS ON WATER SAMPLES(PH, TURBIDITY,
HARDNESS, TOTAL SOLIDS.
 ABOUT SITE AND IT’S LOCATION

• 1. NAME OF RIVER: PATALAGANGA RIVER

• 2. LOCATION: AT RASAYANI,RAIGAD DISTRICT.
• 3. SAMPLE COLLECTED AT A DISTANCE OF: 400 M.(SURFACE SIDE OF THE RIVER)
 THE PATALGANGA RIVER  IS A RIVER THAT RISES IN THE STEEP WESTERN SCARPS OF
THE MATHERAN UPLANDS WHERE IT BRANCHES OFF FROM THE MAIN RIDGE NEAR KHOPOLI AND
MAINTAINS A GENERAL WESTWARD FLOW TILL IT JOINS THE DHARAMTAR CREEK WITH A WIDE
ESTUARY. THE TAIL-WATERS OF THE KHOPOLI POWER PROJECT ARE LET INTO THE RIVER
NEAR KHOPOLI IN MAHARASHTRA, INDIA. IT COMES AT FOREMOST IN TERMS OF POLLUTION. IT IS ONE
OF THE MOST POLLUTED RIVERS OF MAHARASHTRA, SOURCE BEING FROM PATALGANGA MIDC.
INDUSTRIES IN PATALGANGA MIDC INCLUDE .THESE COMPANIES CONTRIBUTE POLLUTING THE RIVER.
MPCB PROVIDES NO PROPER DATA REGARDING WATER QUALITY WHICH IS A POINT WHICH LIMITS THE
PROTESTS FROM VARIOUS NGO'S AND LOCALS. NOWADAYS, LOCALS FROM VILLAGES ON BANKS OF
PATALGANGA RIVER (TURADE, KALIVALI, APTA, DUSHMI, KHARPADA, RAVE) COMPLAIN ABOUT THE
POISONING CAUSED BY CONSUMING FISHES. BIODIVERSITY OF PATALGANGA RIVER IS UNDER SERIOUS
THREAT DUE TO THE HARMFUL CHEMICALS FROM THE DYEING,FERTILIZER, PESTICIDES, INSECTICIDES,
ALKYL AMINES INDUSTRIES. EFFECT OF POLLUTION ON FARMING.CROPS GET BURNT DUE TO HIGHLY
ACIDIC PH OF WATER.FLOODING DURING RAINY SEASON RESULTS IN THE FLUSHING OF AGRICULTURAL
LANDS DOWNSTREAM WITH HARMFUL CHEMICALS WHICH MAKES LAND UNSUITABLE FOR
CULTIVATION.
