Abstract

The potable water which is supplied to the consumers in India is managed by the local and statutory authorities. In the isolated/rural areas, where the potable water is not easily available, the rainwater can also be stored in rainwater tank and the further it can be used as a raw water, i.e., plantation, construction activities, washing, etc. In this research paper, the evaluation of domestic wastewater has been considered using traditional sewerage treatment plants. The parameters which are considered by taking care of domestic waste are pH, Temperature, Total suspended solids (TSS) Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). Results show the effectiveness of the treatment plant where the process found suitable to process the gray water and make it usable. During the experimentation part, it has been found that Aerobic organisms are inoculated into wastewater treatment units. Due to the presence of biochemical oxygen demand, the microbes utilize the organic components of wastewater and reduce the toxicity.
