Abstract
In densely populated and developing countries like India with poor sewage treatment facility, proper disposal of sewage is an acute problem. Most of the untreated or partially treated city sewage and domestic water is disposed into rivers, reservoirs and ponds, deteriorating their water quality. It is estimated that about 800 x 106 gallons/day of sewage and domestic runoff can yield an annual out turn of 60,000 t N P K. The domestic sewage contains 250-400 ppm organic carbon and 80-120 ppm total nitrogen with a C: N ratio of 3:1 (Mukhophodhyay and Sarangi, 2006). The present study was undertaken in Budha talab, the largest pond in the Raipur city to evaluate the water qualityReferences
