Use Of Waste Water For Irrigation -A Case Study Of Pune Rural Area

Abstract

Background: The availability of fresh water is decreasing day by day because of increase in population & attention of people towards water management. As increase in population needs more fresh water, produced more waste water that is directly thrown into the rivers. Agriculture needs fresh water for irrigation. The supply for irrigation of fresh water decreases as a result agricultural production decrease. A Pune is the one of the most populated cities in Maharashtra. India were population increasing day by day. Mulshi taluka is the one of the main regions who provides fresh water to Pune city. Pune city is developing towards. Mulshi region which is the rich source of fresh water source getting polluter because of development and migration of most of citizen towards the towns like Pirangut, Hinjewadi etc. The 60% people need by this town are dispersed on agriculture or farming they are directly using water from river like Mula, mutha, Pawana etc. This river water contains certain effluent which is harmful for the crop because it contains harmful bacteria and pathogroups by use that water becoming serious issues of citizens health and need people as well as government attention. This project explores the treatment and reuse of wastewater for irrigation purposes. By employing methods like root zone treatment and rapid sand filtration, key parameters such as BOD, COD, and turbidity are significantly improved. The study aims to promote sustainable water management in agriculture.
