INTRODUCTION
 Water is LIFE that is why it is called JEEVAN in Sanskrit. Water is
colorless and chemical substance. Water is the main constituents of
earth’s streams, lakes and oceans, and the fluids of most living
organisms.
 Water is mainly used for agriculture, drinking, washing, fire extinction,
industries and for medical uses etc.,
 Particularly Industrial activities, which are growing rapidly, are also
leading to generation of large quantity of waste water.
 As per central water commission, the total waste water generated from
all major industries sources is about 82,446 million liters per day.
 Treated waste water is water obtained from the treatment plant after
treating waste water.
 By utilization of this treated waste water, water scarcity can be reduced .
LITERATURE SURVEY
1.Shrilatha and Puneeth H C: they studied on the cement mortar using
treated domestic waste water. They conclude that, The compressive strength
of mortar is increased by mixing primary treated waste water at the end of 28
days for all the diluted with potable water. And the compressive strength is
10.68% more in case of cubes confined with primary treated waste water.

 4. M. Silva and T.R. Naik (2010) [2]: investigated that, sustainable use of
resources, such as use of reclaimed water, especially partially processed
sewage treatment plant water in mortar. An initial laboratory investigation
was conducted samples were collected from the Milwaukee Metropolitan
Sewerage District (MMS D) and analyzed the characteristics of reclaimed
waste water. According to their investigation the compressive strength, space
mortar cubes with sewage treatment plant water has shown improvement in
strength during 3 to 28 days and increased by the duration of 91 days.
.
 3 . A. Narendra Reddy K, Naveen N, Siva rani: “use of treated domestic
waste water as mixing water in cement mortar”.They studied on cement
mortar using domestic effluent, treated effluent. They conclude that, slow
strength development is observed at early age (3 days). At 7,28 and 75
days, compressive strength is reduced by 4.84, 1.65 and 2.72% as compared
to portable water respectively; however decreases in compressive strength
is significant in all specimens.
OBJECTIVES
To determine the physical and chemical characteristics of
treated domestic waste water.
To study the optimum percentage of treated waste water in
cement mortar.
To study the strength properties of cement mortar.
METHODOLOGY
 To analyze the physical and chemical properties of cement mortar using
treated domestic waste water.
 Before casting cement mortar cubes we test the following properties.
1. Physical properties of wastewater are color, temperature, solid and
odors.
2. Chemical properties of wastewater are pH, Chloride, Sulphate, BOD,
COD and Nitrates.
3. Physical properties of cement are setting time, consistency, soundness.
 We are going to replace the water partially with treated domestic waste
water by casting cement mortar cubes
*50% TDWW and 50% normal water
*75% TDWW AND 25% normal water
*100% TDWW
To study the compression strength by casting mortar cubes of different
percentage of TDWW.
EXPECTED OVERCOME
Present project work explore suitable of treated domestic
waste water for making cement mortar.
Present project work explore the feasibility using treated
domestic waste water.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
 December 2020 - February 2021
Conducting tests on physical and chemical characteristics of wastewater such as
1. Physical characteristics
a) Colour
b) Odour
c) Temperature
d) Turbidity and solids

2.Chemical characteristics
e) pH

 We are going to cast cubes on cement mortar(70.6mmX70.6mm size) to check the compressive strength on 7,
14 and 28 days In the month of February 2021.

 Results, Discussion and Report in the month of March 2021.
