1 Industrial Waste Water Treatment Unit 5

2 Outline 1 Water Water availability in the earth Distribution of available water in the earth Importance of industrial wastewater treatment Characteristics of waste water Constituents of concern in Industrial wastewater Various tests for wastewater Waste water treatment levels Advance waste water treatment methods

3 Water 2 Water is a transparent and nearly colourless liquid Most essential constituent for living organisms in the earth The molecular formula for water is H 2 O One oxygen and two Hydrogen atoms It also occurs in nature as snow, glaciers, icepacks and icebergs, clouds, fog, dew, aquifers, and atmospheric humidity. Life will not exist without water in our Mother Earth Anonymous

4 Water 3 Distribution of available water in the earth

5 Distribution of Water Salt water dominates 97.5% Salt Water About 97.5% of all water on earth is salt water Most fresh water is unattainable 2.5% Fresh water Only 2.5% of all the water on Earth is Fresh water Source: FAO,

6 Distribution of Water Most fresh water is unattainable Frozen icecaps 70% Polar Ice caps 2.5% Fresh water Around 70% of fresh water is frozen in Antarctica and green land icecaps Only 2.5% of all the water on Earth is Fresh water Underground Source: FAO, % Underground Most of the remaining fresh water lies too deep underground 5

7 Distribution of Water?% is available for Human Consumption 6

8 Distribution of Water <1% is available for Human Consumption 7

11 Water Stress 10

12 Water Stress Water stress occurs when the demand for water exceeds the available amount during a certain period or when poor quality restricts its use. Water stress causes deterioration of fresh water resources in terms of quantity Water stress European Environment Agency
