Waste Water Recycling as a Solution to Shortcomings of Sewage Management If the STP plant manufacturer India is not wrong, per day waste water generation done by per person is 70-140 liters. A family with five members per day generates 300-700 liters of waste water. Now think how this waste water is gathered and treated by STP workers! At present, the use of systems and technology is expensive for local bodies in urban areas and thus, they suffer from disposal issues. And in the cities, the quantity of sewage is even larger and difficult to handle.
The transportation has its own problem. Open drains in the city create more issues for STP plant owners to treat sewage. STP plants are situated on the outskirts of the city and thus the process of carrying the sewage to the plants is very expensive and re-transportation of recycled water for desired sites is done up to 30-50km. Due to huge capital investments, most of the plants don’t run at full capacity and the reason behind it is the design constraints. This is why larger volume of untreated waste water gets disposed to the nearby streams or river, which causes pollution. Other issues with waste water management are as under-
