Manual on Sewerage and Sewage Treatment Systems - 2013
(Chapter 7)
Provides various case studies of utilization of treated
sewage and its reuse as cooling water in power plant, in
airport, in petroleum refinery, fish culture (like at Mudiali,
Kolkata), road washings, ground cooling, boilers and also in
agriculture. In agriculture the suitability of treated sewage is
dependent upon soil, salt tolerance of the crop, intake of
minerals and climate conditions. Sewage conforming to
specified norms can be applied to selected species of food
crops into soil by strip, basin or furrow irrigation. Sprinkler
irrigation could be used with treated sewage. During rainy
and non irrigating seasons, the treated sewage can be held
in lagoons or undertaking irrigation in additional land/waste
land including resorting to artificial recharge of ground water.
