Discharge into a natural watercourse: Discharging treated effluent into a natural watercourse is a normal wastewater disposal practise. Local and federal authorities often control this practise to guarantee that the effluent quality complies with specific criteria.

The treated effluent is normally discharged by an outfall pipe or another discharge point, and any impurities are diluted by mixing it with the natural stream. Regular monitoring of the effluent’s quality is required to make sure it complies with legal requirements and to safeguard the environment.

Irrigation

In some instances, wastewater that has undergone a particular level of treatment and purification may be used for irrigation tasks like watering plants or landscaping.

This is often done in regions when more water is required and the treated effluent quality meets the requirements for irrigation.

Regular monitoring of the effluent’s quality is required to make sure it complies with legal requirements and to safeguard the environment.

Application to land

Applying wastewater to land, where it can be absorbed and filtered by the soil, is another alternative for disposal. This is often done in regions where the treated effluent quality satisfies the requirements for land application, and it can be a useful method of wastewater disposal in regions with scarce water resources.

Regular monitoring of the effluent’s quality is required to make sure it complies with legal requirements and to safeguard the environment.
