What is the best (low cost and high efficient) method (Physical, Chemical, or Biological) of wastewater treatment to meet irrigation water quality ranges?
For short period, septic tanks or Imhoff tanks or similar primary treatment (for larger applications), the Wastewater Garden system unit itself, and the final use of the treated effluent in as subsoil irrigation. For a long period and low-cost method is the growing of hydroponic plants such as water lettuce alongside of wetlands used for the flow of irrigation water.
Use sewage sludge method directly from the toilet to an outlet orfarmland. The waste water came out with a sludge then use pond like or septic tank to deluge it with ordinary groundwater to make a solution. The deluted sludge now. Can be channelled through and outlet. However, you need not to apply organic or inorganic fertilizer.
Hope this will help abeat for market gardening crops used extensively for irrigation.
Waste water sludge management is a new method adopted in populated areas to cultivated periseable crop for human consumption. Waste water might contain organic substance which are of benefit for the plants growth. Make sure to use sanitizer in the process to avoid contamination.
Whenever we need to plan for waste water process and treatment, such that the effluent from wwt process is turned into recycled water for re use for watering plants, flushing toilets and other un- important uses, certain care is needed to be done. They are:
1. The sullage water may be ex wash water where soaps are avoided and bio-enzymes type cleaning liquid are used.
2. This will help the process and treatment, effluent may be used directly also iecwithout any treatment Etc..
3. All wash water in mess canteen restaurant are minimised and more swm by adopting swipe clean, use of sop - cloth are encouraged with more mass for bio waste composting Etc..
