Abstract: | Background, aim, and scope High-quality waters are steadily retreating worldwide. Discharge of industrial effluent in the environment again declines
soil/water quality to a great extent. On the other hand, effluent reuse in agriculture could be a means to conserve natural
resources by providing assured water supply for growing crops. But industrial effluents are highly variable in nature, containing
a variety of substances, and all are not favorable for farming. Appraisal and developing modes of effluent reuse is therefore
a prerequisite to enable its proper use in agriculture. Effluents of various industries were assessed and approaches for their
use in farming were developed for a particular region in this study. As per availability of effluents, the same could be implemented
in other water-scarce areas. |
