in order to investigate the effect of domestic wastewater and normal water (well water) on soil chemical properties and alfalfa yield, a research project was conducted for three years in chahartakhteh research station. the experiment was performed in randomized complete blocks design including four treatments in three replications. treatments were as follows: t1: irrigation with normal water at...

The potential of domestic wastewater treatment plants to contribute for the dissemination of ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria was assessed. Differences on bacterial counts and percentage of resistance in the raw wastewater could not be explained on basis of the size of the plant or demographic characteristics of population served. In contrast, the treated effluent of the larger plants had signi...

Disinfection is considered to be the primary mechanism for the inactivation/destruction of pathogenic organisms to prevent the spread of waterborne diseases to downstream users and the environment. It is important that wastewater be adequately treated prior to disinfection in order for any disinfectant to be effective. Table 1 lists some common microorganisms found in domestic wastewater and th...

Treated wastewater may be considered as a ‘new’ water resource, which can be added to the general water balance of a region. This ‘new’ source can substitute conventional water used for irrigation. Israel is presently reusing more than 65% of the total domestic sewage production of the country, and it is planned to reach more than 90% reuse during the next decade. This paper addresses the intro...

Constructed wetlands are viable alternatives for the removal of multiple pollutants. The performance Sagittaria latifolia in free flowing and subsurface removing pollutants from domestic waters was evaluated. 12 will be followed, three with species without species, retention times 6.7 days 3.5 subsurface. presented an effluent turbidity 4.4±0.8 NTU, color 143.9±27.4 UC 33.9±25.7 mgL-1 COD. samp...

We tested the setting time of cement, slump and compressive and tensile strength of 54 triplicate cubic samples and 9 cylindrical samples of concrete with and without a Super plasticizer admixture. We produced concrete samples made with drinking water and treated domestic wastewater containing 300, 400 kg/m(3) of cement before chlorination and then cured concrete samples made with drinking wate...

The objective of this study is to investigate and assess the use of in situ deposit nanosilver (nAg2O) or nanocopper oxides (nCuO) into nonwoven polyester fabric (NWPF) as a safe and effective antibacterial filter of pollution from domestic wastewater. The bactericidal effect of both nAg2O and nCuO was examined against Gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi) and Gram-positiv...
