UTILIZATION OF WASTE WATER FROM REVERSE-OSMOSIS FOR PLANTION IN GCOE-JALGAON CAMPUS

As per the growing population, demand for freshwater resources and the increasing use of reverse osmosis systems, the discarding of wastewater generated by these systems has become a vital challenge. This project explores the sustainable utilization of RO waste water for plantation purposes within a GCOE- Jalgaon college campus, aiming to reduce water wastage. RO waste water, generally rich in salts and minerals, is typically discarded, leading to environmental concerns and unnecessary wastage. This study investigate its potential use in plantation by analysing its composition and suitability for various plant species. This project involves designing and estimation of an efficient collection and distribution system and a market survey. Reducing freshwater consumption by substituting RO waste water for plantation in GCOE-Jalgaon college campus with estimate of pipe distribution system to improve the aesthetic and environmental quality of GCOE- Jalgaon college campus. RO wastewater from campus water purifiers will be channelled into a centralized storage tank using a network of pipes. The results indicated that possibility of using RO rejected waste water as a source of irrigation water. Campus has sufficient slope so that water will reach to each plant by gravity flow. RO waste water available is more than enough the requirement of the water for the system.Total RO waste water available nearly about 6250 liters/day (considered for Summer days) and daily use is 5000 to 5500 liters only. System is designed as per the standard procedure of design. The probable cost of project is Rs. 68,983 only.
