USAGE AND QUALITY OF TREATED EFFLUENT AS AN ALTERNATE SOURCE OF IRRIGATIONWATER FOR AGRICULTURAL CROPSSYED MAQBOOL GEELANI , S.J.A. BHAT, SYED HANIFAGEELANI , IQBALJEELANI AND SHAMSULHAQAbstract Scarcity of fresh water and drought climatic conditions around the India, suggest serious consideration as to reuse of treated effluents which results from the treatment of domestic effluents. This paper is an attempt to check the quality of the treated effluent and its changes at different discharge points and irrigation points which gets discharged from the sewage treatment plant at Naini, Allahabad, UP (India). Treated effluent samples were collected at three different sites during three consecutive monthÂ’s viz. February, March and April. The quality of the irrigation water was analyzed by various physiochemical parameters recommended and set by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS IS:10500, 1991 and 1993). Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted to compute the eigenvalues of the standardized matrix X using SPSS. The results showed considerable changes in the quality of irrigation water at different discharge points and values of all the physiochemical parameters were found within the desirable limits of BIS and safe for irrigation purpose.
