Abstract:
The oxidation pond technology has provided a low cost and efficient method for the treatment of waste water to those communities which could not build conventional waste water treatment plants. Nearly 5, 000 small communities in the United States use waste stabilization ponds for the treatment of municipal waste. In Pakistan, very little effort has been made to introduce oxidation pond technology for the reclamation of sewage water. One oxidation pond is in operation at Lahore and another has recently been commissioned in Karachi University Campus. Except for one report, data regarding the distribution of algae, their relative abundance and the seasonal variation in waste water from Pakistan are also non existent. This paper presents a preliminary survey of algae in sewage water of KMC treatment plant at S.I.T.E. area and Karachi University Campus.
