ABSTRACT
The physico - chemical parameters of the effluent from Haryana Distilllery, Yamuna Nagar were determined. From the various physico -chemical properties determined, Water Quality Index (WQI) values were computed to evaluate the pollution load of the effluent. According to the permissible level suggested by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), almost all the water quality parameters (WQPS) in the distillery effluent under study were found to be very high and above the permissible limits. It is concluded that the waste water being discharged by Haryana Distillery is highly polluted and it exceeds the prescribed limits for irrigation and public use. The percentage of sodium exceeds the desired limit for irrigation. Kelley’s ratio, magnesium ratio and sodium absorption ratio are above the limits for irrigation. Hence the distillery effluent is to be treated before discharging it in to the Western Yamuna Canal, a source of irrigation.

Key Words : Distillery effluent , Irrigation Water Quality Indices, Water Quality Parameters water Quality Index, Pollution load

INTRODUCTION
Distilleries are allied industries of sugar cane factories which produce byproducts such as molasses , baggases and fibre cakes. Among these products, molasses is most important because it is used for fermentation in distillery ,for biofertilizer industries and as feed for domestic animals. In distilleries molasses is used as raw material for the production of alcohol and besides producing alcohol, produce largest amount of

    Water and Quality Contamination

    Background: According to the Millennium Development Goals Report 2012, 783 million people, or 11 per cent of the global population, remain without access to an improved source of drinking water. Also the United Nations has long been addressing the global crisis caused by insufficient water supply to satisfy basic human needs and growing demands on the world’s water resources to meet human, commercial and agricultural needs (un.org). In this experiment water quality and contamination of groundwater was investigated. First, I observed the effects that many pollutants have on groundwater. I predict that in this experiment the oil and vinegar will create the large amount of contamination in the water, while the laundry detergent will just create an aroma smell to it. Considering the smells and color to these ingredients I think that it will cause the water quality to have a bad smell and cause the water to be very cloudy. Once filtering the contaminated water, the water will be clear and purified. Second, I will experiment water treatment and filtering. I predict that once the contaminated water is treated and filtered that it will leave me with less contamination or none at all. Then for the last experiment, I will determine the difference between bottled water and tap water to discover any contamination. I predict that the tap water will be the most contaminated and with the most chemicals in it, while the bottled waters; Dasani and Fiji will be completely filtered and free of any chemicals.…

    Water Quality Criteria

    Water Quality Criteria are levels of individual pollutants or water quality characteristics, or descriptions of conditions of a body of water that, if met, will generally protect the designated use of the water. For a given DU, there are likely to be a number of criteria dealing with different types of conditions, as well as levels of specific chemicals... Water quality criteria must be fit the use of water. Only scientific considerations are taken into consideration when determining the water quality criteria. Our feelings are not considered when developing water quality criteria. . Human health criteria can apply to two exposure routes: drinking water and consuming aquatic food. Criteria is distinguished according to the types of organisms they are designed to protect. Aquatic life criteria is aimed at protecting aquatic organisms, including a wide variety of animals and various plants and microorganisms. Wildlife criteria, like human health/fish consumption criteria, deal with the effects of pollutants with high factors Water quality is determined by assessing three things: biological, chemical, and physical. Standards of water quality are set for each of these three.…

    Water Quality and Contamination

    Experiments were done on the water quality and the contamination of groundwater. First, I observed the effects that different pollutants had on groundwater. I predicted that the experiments with the oil and vinegar would create the most contaminations to the water. When the laundry detergent were mixed with the groundwater, it created a light green color with a pleasant smell. The second water treatment experiment were about filtering techniques to remove contaminants from water. I predicted to drain the water by removing all the contaminants by using a funnel to purify the water. The last experiment were performed using Dasani, and Fiji bottled water and Tap water to determine the quality of drinking water. I also predicted that tap water would leave the least amount of contaminants and the Fiji bottled water would have the most contaminants.…

    Water Contamination in Mumbai

    In the business capital of India, There is a country named Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay. Was recently a headliner for high increase in water contamination in due to mismanagement of BMC. BMC- Bombay Municipal corporation, is a corporation of the water and sewage systems dealing within the city. Water crisis in Mumbai is beyond unbearable, 19% of water consumed is contaminated with sewage water, E. Coli, sand particles, and other harmful bacterial content besides other foreign particles. "According to BMC'S own sample test results for 2012-2013, 60,726 out of samples taken from the 24 municipal wards, nearly 11,700 were found contaminated. And out of these dirty samples, 1,474 were found to have the deadly E. Coli bacteria." It can cause severe abdominal cramps. bloody diarrhea and vomiting, confirmed by local doctors in that area. "The worst condition of water was found in Pydhonie and Bhuleshwar areas of C ward. Coming second worst in the muddy list was P-South ward where Goregaon falls. Thirty-two per cent of the ward's samples were found contaminated" There was a slight improvement in 2009-2010 when the amount of contaminated water decreased from 24% to 16%, but with the 3% increase, the government has now been shaken by the water and successfully dealing with the problem at hand. According to the consumer of BMC, if round the clock supply and pressure can be maintained in the pipeline then contamination can be avoided. The biggest hurdle is assuring that the contaminated water is not mixed within the uncontaminated water. By providing new pipelines you can kill the bacteria within the pipes. What causes this is that the water in some pipes has low pressure and over the years it causes erosion within the pipes. So the rust and dirst particles are mixing among the clean water supplied throughout the city. The BMC have now made some progress in attacking this problem at hand. They are providing new pipelines within the city. 72km of pipes are being replaced…
