Effect Of Waste Water On Chemical Properties Of Soil In Sargodha Region

Abstract

Water that has been contaminated by home, industrial, or commercial use is referred to as wastewater. As a result, the composition of all wastewaters is always changing and highly variable. The use of wastewater for irrigation is becoming more popular as a technical option for reducing soil deterioration and restoring soil nutrient content. The current study investigated the effect of wastewater on the chemical properties of the soil in the Sargodha region, Punjab, Pakistan. A soil survey was conducted at two sites of Sargodha to analyzes the consequence of the use of wastewater on soil chemical attributes. Data recorded showed that soil chemical properties undergo abrupt changes with the application of wastewater. It causes lessening in the pH and enhancement in the EC, TSS, Organic matter, and soil phosphorous. It was concluded that soil wet with sewer water results in actual illness danger for humans begins and with surrounding real danger. Wastewater use also causes hazards for plant growth.
