How to reduce the industrials effluent and sewage and its impact on natural resources such as water, plants, soil health, soil quality and agriculture ?
Industrial Effluents are enhancing nutrient levels in soil, and they also impact tolerance limits and induce toxicity when they are too high. The sewage It is the polluted form of water generated from human activities and rainwater runoff. The major component of the same is human excreta (waste products of the human digestive system, menses, and human metabolism including urine and feces). The sewage sludge can either stimulate soil microbial activity, due to an increase in available carbon and nutrients, or inhibit activity, due to the presence of heavy metals and other pollutants. physical properties of soil irrigated with sewage water increase the bulk density (BD) 0.01g cm-3, particle density (PD) 0.02 g cm-3, porosity 1.03% and water holding capacity (WHC) 6.20 % as compared to ground water irrigated. Soil pollution is often caused by the uncontrolled disposal of sewage and other liquid wastes resulting from domestic uses of water, industrial wastes containing a variety of pollutants, agricultural effluents from animal husbandry and drainage of irrigation water and urban runoff.
To reduce industrial effluent and sewage pollution, we must take a comprehensive approach that involves regulatory measures, technological advancements in wastewater treatment, and public awareness campaigns. By enforcing strict regulations, supporting technological innovations, and educating stakeholders about the significance of proper wastewater management, we can minimize the impact on soil health and agriculture while protecting the environment for future generations.
