Industrial Waste Disposal and Sewage Irrigation: An Annotated Bibliography

by K. V. Paliwal

Overview

Good quality water is getting more and more scarce on global basis and attempts are being made to use and reuse the huge quantities of waste water generated daily by human and industrial activities without causing any adverse effect on environment. However, disposal of polluted and waste waters on land causes soil pollution and deterioration in the quality of crop produce, vegetables, fruits and fodders grown on such contaminated soils. This polluted water-soil-plant-food-chain system causes risks of animal and human health. In the present bibliography, researches conducted on such polluted systems have been reviewed up to date from the international literature covering various aspects of industrial waste waters, sewage effluents, sewage sludge, heavy metal accumulation in soils, plants'and sludges, response of plants and forest trees to sewage water, heavy metals and sludges, land disposal of wastes etc. In short, it is hoped that the book will be at immense value to researchers, students and decision-makers associated with waste water management, soil and water pollution, sewage water irrigation, forestry and environment management.
