IMPLEMENTATION OF WASTE WATER TREATMENT AT UPPAL LAKE, HYDERABAD

Abstract

The purpose of study was to assess water quality of Uppal Lake, Hyderabad during 2016. Usually wastewater physiochemical analysis will involve collecting the wastewater in a central, segregated location and subjecting the wastewater to various physiochemical analysis processes. Most often, since large volumes of wastewater are involved, physiochemical analysis are carried out on continuously flowing wastewaters (continuous flow or "open" systems) rather than as "batch" or a series of periodic processes in which physiochemical analysis is carried out on parcels or "batches" of wastewaters. While most wastewater physiochemical analysis processes are continuous flow, certain operations, such as vacuum filtration, involving as it does, storage of sludge, the addition of chemicals, filtration and removal or disposal of the treated sludge, are routinely handled as periodic batch operations. Water quality test by physiochemical analysis, however, can also be organized or categorized by the nature of the physiochemical analysis operation. The objective of study was to study and process the water quality in Uppal lake, the lake water samples were collected from 4 sides randomly, the physico-chemical analyses were done by APHA method, in this research the Primary Sources Were Books and Articles and Secondary Sources Were Lake samples (water) collection – 4samples, Physicochemical analysis, Results Compared with standards. The finding parameters definitely showed that Uppal lake is highly contaminated. Although there are some parameters which come under the tolerable range of the standards provided yet it is very important to be noticed that these parameters, are for Industrial effluents and Waste water, not for irrigation purpose but Uppal lake water from a long time is being used for Printing, Dying and most importantly for irrigation, which makes this water channel highly polluted. Overall findings indicated that wastewaters of the major industrial areas of Hyderabad city were not found good and should not be used for irrigation without prior treatment. Immediate action could be taken by the people at household level like they should try and find some other water sources for irrigation, filter plats should be installed in personal level etc. as environmental and engineering measures at community level would take a long time to be applied.
