Abstract- Now a day’s increase in rapid growth of
urbanization and industrialization is high intake of
water and great generation of wastewater. The aim of
this study is to find the effective cost method for
wastewater treatment as comparative to
conventional method of wastewater treatment. The
conventional method is not suitable in rural area due
to high expensive. The foundation and improvement of
healthy life water is one of the most important
fundamentals. The reed bed system is one of the
alternative technic for wastewater treatment. Reed
bed system has been proven to be an efficient and low
cost alternative for conventional wastewater
treatment technologies. Constructed wetland system
for wastewater treatment has been proven to be
effective and sustainable alternative for conventional
wastewater treatment technologies. This present
study is the performance of the fabricated model on
which the local ambegaon budurk pune area sewer.
The effluent characteristics like pH, colour, odour,
conductivity, Do, COD, BOD with the help of model.
This system is having with filter media and soil for the
detention period of 5 days, 10 days, 15 days and 20
days. The result shows reduction of parameters such
as pH, colour, odour, temperature, conductivity. The
removal rate is increases due increase in detention
period.
Key Words: - Removal of pH, color, odor,
conductivity, DO, COD,BOD and Effective cost for
wastewater treatment.
1. INTRODUCTION
The water is basic source of life. Out 100%
quantity of the water 93% is the Vast Oceans, 4%
underground water, 2% stored in the form of ice burgs
and ice caps and less than 1% is available as fresh water.
The last era is the great deal of attention to
environmental protection due to world globalization.
The major water bodies are polluted by the hapazadards
discharge of domestic sewage, and industrial wastewater
in the world. The wastewater treatment technology is
having with an efficient and eco-friendly for
environment. Now a day’s major environmental issue is
due improper disposal of wastewater. Water pollution
has become a major environmental issue while as
economic development has increased. The municipal
wastewater is disposal directly in to the river body
without any treatment. In the metro polities city facilities
are provided wastewater treatment plant, but in rural
area sewage drains are directly connected to water
bodies. The reed bed system has sure to be a favorable
treatment and alternative treatment technology for
wastewater treatment. The construction of this system is
having surface flow and subsurface flow. The subsurface
flow is having Vertical flow, Horizontal flow and Hybrid
flow. The water passing through the filter media in reed
bed system is the basic working. There is no
requirement of machineries and electricity treatment
under gravity. The project is analysis the wastewater
characteristics in ambeagaon budurk pune area sewer
with reed bed system.
2. METHOD AND MATERIAL
Collect the wastewater sample for treatment
from the near ambegaon sewage drain. The lab model for
reed bed system made up of plastic. The plastic
container have with dimension of 60cm × 40cm × 30 cm
for wastewater flow through the bed assembly having
60cm.lenght,40cm width and 30cm height. The inlet unit
is provided with a PVC pipe along with a calibration
knob. The height of model was divided into four parts
with filter media. The bottom most part is having 10cm
with aggregates with 10 to 20 mm size, above this bed
use sand up to 5cm, soil layer used up to 10cm. The
laboratory scale model calibrated for the various
discharge like 5days, 10days, 15days and 20days. The
lab model was cultivated with canna indica and cyperucs
plant.
3. RESULT AND CONCLUSION.
In the laboratory for study purpose wastewater
was collected from different location of ambeagon area.
By using as per different standard procedure of the
testing method of wastewater the various test were
conducted like pH, Color, Odour, DO, BOD, COD,
