Treatment of Domestic Waste Water Using Composite Organic Remains of Temples

Abstract

Bengaluru city treats around 50% of the total domestic waste water generated on a day-to-day basis. The untreated water going downstream has a negative effect on biodiversity and environment. Natural adsorbents are effectively used to reduce pollution from waste water. Temples generate considerable amount of solid wastes on a daily basis which peaks during festive season. This paper tries to evaluate the use of natural adsorbent capacity of the city temples to reduce various parameters in domestic waste water generated in the city.
