Respected Sir/madam
Please tell me in detail of the above mentioned question
Dear Vijay Singh,
Biosolids are a by-product of municipal wastewater treatment. All municipal wastewater treatment plants produce biosolids, which are the stabilized residuals that settle from the water during the various treatment processes. Biosolids are rich in both organic matter and essential plant nutrients and can be utilized in a variety of ways, directly as a soil amendment and fertilizer, and indirectly as a feedstock in the fabrication of value-added products.
Biosolids are nutrient-rich organic materials from the treatment of domestic wastewater in a wastewater treatment facility. Biosolids are a beneficial resource, containing essential plant nutrients and organic matter when recycled as a fertilizer and soil amendment. In India., to protect human health and the environment, wastewater solids must be treated to meet the Environmental
The benefits of biosolids are dependent on several factors. However, generally the benefits include:
1. Valuable source of organic matter, which assists in the improvement of soil structure;
2. Rich nutrient fertilizer, nitrogen, and phosphorus; · Valuable on cropland;
3. Good iron fertilizer, better than commercial fertilizers for iron;
4. Groundwater protection – organic nitrogen in sludge is much less likely to cause groundwater pollution than chemical nitrogen fertilizers; and
5. Reduced landfill disposal.
6. Rich nutrient

Biosolids have very high potential use in India as well as in other countries. A very good work is going on in India of course and biosolids of many industries are being used effectively. However, there is still more work needed in this field. Baboo has referred some good material
