Abstract

The quick growth of the population, land use changed, and the industrial boom has carried huge problems of the environment of Dhaka city, Bangladesh especially on sewage waste water management. Waste treatment in developing countries like Bangladesh is a major anxiety and has become puzzling for various unfavorable conditions. Sewage Waste water management has a direct impact on the urban ecosystems, agriculture and river system. Insufficient education and little economic perspective are causing difficulties in implementing advanced treatment methods. Similar to other developing countries, Bangladesh is also facing numerous water-related problems in the urban region. The waste water of Dhaka city was collected and analyzed in the laboratory before and after the treatment. The present investigation was conducted to monitor the characteristic of the waste water, and its usability in different purposes like Irrigation, Aquaculture and drinking purposes. It is obvious from the results that, the current situation of treated water is not promising especially in N, P, Fe and Mn concentration for using as Aquaculture and Drinking Purposes. Although, the treated waste water can be used as Irrigation water and discharge into river without any further treatment.
