Abstract
Srikakulam city has been a developing place due to the steady increase in city population, which in turn resulted in the increase of domestic sewage generated, but still there is no sewage treatment plant. So it is required to construct a sewage treatment plant with sufficient capacity to treat the generated sewage. Sewage water treatment has challenges to treat the excess sludge and disposal of sludge. Sewage/Wastewater treatment operations are done by various methods in order to reduce, its water and organic content, and the ultimate

The grit basin is intended to scour the lighter particles while the heavier grit particles remain settled down. [2]
5 Primary sedimentation Sedimentation is the process of removing solid particles heavier than water by gravity settling i.e., the particle size less than 0.2mm and specific gravity 2.65. In wastewater treatment, sedimentation is used to remove both inorganic and organic materials which are settleable in continuous-flow conditions. [3] The sedimentation tank comprises of a tank with 2 settling pipes where solid waste settles down. Baffles are provided to improve the settling process. At this stage the removal percentage of suspended solids are 60-65% and BOD from sewage is 30-35%.[5] Skimmers are used to remove the floating impurities like grease and oil on the water surface during sedimentation.

A sampling port for measurement of the sediment concentration was located at 12.7 cm (5 in) from the bottom of the cylinder.
In filtration, raw water passes through screens to remove material such as twigs, leaves and other particles. Chemicals are then added which clump together other particles, and the water is sent through another filter, usually lined with sand and anthracite (crushed coal).

AZ Water Association; is a nonprofit/independent educational organization founded in 1928 with a membership of 2,700 water/wastewater professionals dedicated to preserving and improving Arizona's water environment. It also serves as the Arizona section of the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Arizona member association of the Water Environment Federation (WEF). Their main mission is connecting professionals, providing education, and inspiring environmental stewardship. American Water Work Association; is also one of the largest nonprofit, scientific and educational association dedicated to manage/ treat water, and the world’s most important resource. Further, the association had approximately 50,000 members, AWWA provides solutions
When we used our intellectual competence, Mark Watney fixed a water reclaimer, Stone and Watney altered their vehicles for travel, and I fixed a dead battery in a car.
The existence of a waste water treatment plant will depend on local discharge requirements and the costs of waste water treatment. Relevant waste water treatment technologies involve neutralisation and anaerobic or aerobic processes.
Water in Loudoun County has become a very expensive commodity. Loudoun Water created and started a new, three-tiered billing system. The tiered system with the first tier charges customers who use less than 25,000 gallons $1.77 per 1,000 gallons used; the second tier charges customers using 26,000 to 50,000 gallons $4.96 per 1,000 gallons and tier three charges $6.65 per 1,000 gallons for usage exceeding 50,000 gallons (Hager, 2010). Following a classic neoclassical economics, residents who use a lot of water with pay a higher rate.

Sediment transport model plays an important part in the aquatic system as aquatic systems display slow recovery rates due to the continued presence of toxic substances. In a water column, toxic substances accumulate in the bottom sediments of aquatic systems. Depending on the chemical properties and hydraulic characteristics, sorption to biotic and abiotic suspended matter may occur, resulting in chemical settling from the water column and accumulating among bottom sediment. In addition, the effects of industrial contamination on aquatic life are a continuing concern of local, state, and federal agencies throughout the United States.
The concept of the model is to use the equilibrium of sediment in the area. It calculates the movement of sediment for each rainfall event by considering both the transport and deposition of the sediments
Removal/ wasting of activated sludge during this stage if the amount of activated sludge presence in excess.
Waste water treatment plants are essential to communities of all sizes and must work efficiently. Waste water treatment plant primary priority and responsibility is the treatment of incoming sewage water by the removal of biological and chemical wastes so it can be treated and recycled for future use. There are many government agencies and standards set forth to govern and observe the successful treatment of sewage such as: the Department of Environmental Quality, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and the Clean Water Act of 1972. Compliance and constant monitoring of the treatment plant’s operations are important; as they protect the surrounding community. A spill or backflow of sewage due to a complete system malfunction could potentially be detrimental to the environment and local community. A precise system, of which must be compliant according to government standards, is critical to maintain low levels of wastes that are returned to neighboring water systems after treatment.
Suspension is the picking up of sand by wind. This is when sand is airborne and then deposited anywhere.
Improvement and upgrading of wastewater treatment processes and also the need to reduce the environmental factors make the use of tertiary wastewater treatment important.
There are different types of dredgers, however, for the Palm Islands project, the trailing suction hopper dredge (TSHD) was used because it is the only non-stationary dredger. This is because the dredger had to move from the area of suction to the area of deposition. The trailing suction hopper dredge has suction tubes dragged over the seabed during dredging, dredge pumps to suck the material, hopper where the dredged material settles and a swell compensator to control the contact between the suction mouth and seabed when dredging. In as much as Dubai has plenty of sand since it is a desert, the right type of sand that was cohesive enough could be used and it was only found in the seabed.
