Waste Water Treatment by Root Zone Technology

The urban water bodies in tropical developing countries are the worst victim of domestic waste water / sewage, basically because of the widening gap between the increasing waste water generation and unavailability of commensuration economical resources to address the issue through conventional technologies. Hence, biological machines may prove to be a novel tool for sustainable management of water bodies. Root zone being natural biological system operating solely on solar energy is low cost and almost negligible operation and maintenance. Present study was aimed to evaluate the water quality of inlet and outlet water discharged from the home and after coming to the Constructed wetland it will be treated by roots of Taro plant. Different physical, chemical and biological parameters were evaluated for the assessment of water quality. Physical parameters such pH, temperature, conductivity, were significantly decreased. While in case of COD, pH, BOD, DO, reduction was about 90% in the treated water. Results revealed that there is significant.
