Abstract

The rapid growth of the population, the technological and industrial development has brought enormous problems and degradation of the environment. There is a gradual decline in availability of fresh water to be used for irrigation in India. As a consequence, the use of urban waste water (UWW) for irrigating agricultural lands is on the rise particularly in peri-urban areas of developing countries. Effective collection and treatment of urban wastewater is a critical problem in a developing country like India. A case study was undertaken to assess the characteristic of the urban waste water and its management in Mysore city and its long-term effect on irrigation. Over the past few years the discharge of waste and sewage in Mysore City has increased, exerting a great amount of pressure on ecological protection. In this study, we focus on achieving a balanced spatial layout of sewage treatment plants in order to reveal the regional differences.
