Abstract
India is facing the worst water shortage in its history, according to a report by (National Institution for Transforming India is the premier policy 'Think Tank' of the Government of India, providing both directional and policy Niti ayog). People are suffering with high to extreme water shortage and around 2000000 lives of Indians are losing every year owning to the contamination of water. Now a days, rapid urbanization and industrialization has led to high intake of water and enormous generation of waste water. Rivers are getting polluted at an alarming rate of 80% due to untreated wastewater flowing into water bodies and this rate has doubled in recent years. To reduce the contamination level of water resources waste water treatment will play a predominant role. The aim of this study is to find a practical method for waste water treatment and compare its cost with conventional method. The conventional method is not suitable in rural areas due to high expenses incurred. The reed bed system is one of the alternative techniques for wastewater treatment. In the present study it is proposed to implement the reed bed treatment method in the city of Chiplun for studying it' s effectiveness. Social, environmental, economic factors had to be considered in the implementation of our reed bed system. The effluent characteristics like ph., color, odor, conductivity, DO, COD, BOD, oxygen are found out with the help of the site work. From an environmental standpoint the reed bed system is quite ideal. The choice of materials used for construction is quite flexible, and there is the advantage that the materials can be fashioned out of the local sources. Thus, it affects the surrounding minimally. This system is having soil for the detention period of five days, ten days, fifteen days, twenty days. Reed beds are an aquatic plant-based system in which aquatic plants like tore allows bacteria in the root to feed on the organic matter contained in waste water. This research is therefore an investigation of performances of waste water treatment by reed bed method.
