ABSTRACT
This seminar presents an overview of the waste water and its treatment. Under standing the method of treatment can help you to extend our life and protect us from certain diseases. Waste water treatments are very helpful to us. Huge quantity of pure water is turned into waste water day by day and if we can make it again pure water then it will be a blessing for us. Here are certain methods to treat the waste water and make it again pure and among them the most important and is to use is CHLORINATION. The waste waters are treated in certain waste water treatment plants. The main advantage of these treatment plants is that it can be useful either as a community centre or a park. Are you scared of these waste waters? Here are some techniques that can help you..

WATER
CYCLE
MANAGEMENT
The conventional urban water cycle consists of a large-scale centralized water supply and disposal system. Water is collected from catchments, treated and piped to customers. After use, wastewater flows through a second set of pipes (sewers) to sewage treatment plants. The treated water is then discharged to creeks, rivers, bays or oceans. Sustainable development aims to minimize water use and dependence on natural resources and maximize reuse within the built environment.
In Figure 1, the dotted red line separates the natural and built environments. The general approach is to minimize water and pollutants crossing the boundary, and maximizing water reuse within the boundary. This can be achieved by: reducing drinking water demand (through demand management) using available water sources for the most appropriate purposes (fit-for-purpose) identifying and maximzsing alternative water sources minimizing the impact of urban storm water on the receiving aquatic ecosystem.

3.3 DISINFECTION
Disinfection destroys pathogenic microorganisms in water to ensure public health. Eradication of waterborne pathogens is the most important public health concern for water treatment.
New technology of waste water management Disinfection ranges from boiling water to large-scale chemical treatment for water supplies. The three most common disinfection methods are ultraviolet radiation, chlorination and ozonation.
Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection uses UV light to deactivate microorganisms in water. The short UV wavelength irradiates microorganisms. When the UV radiation penetrates the cell of an organism, it destroys the cells genetic material and its ability to reproduce. UV disinfection has low capital and operating costs, is easy to install and operate and is well suited to small-scale water treatment processes. Chlorination chlorine, a strong oxidant, is the most common water disinfectant. Chlorine can be added in gaseous form (Cl2), hypochlorous acid or as hypochlorous salt (typically Ca(OCl)2). Chlorine addition requires chemical handling and storage. Byproducts of chlorination could be carcinogenic, with particular concern and research to understand trihalomethanes (THMs). Chlorine provides residual microbial control; that is, it continues to disinfect water after it has passed through the treatment process. It is typically selected for drinking water supply systems. Optimal chlorination dosage is dependent on the concentration and water pH and temperature. The pH exerts a strong influence on the chlorination performance and should be regulated. Ozonation ozone is a more powerful oxidising agent than other disinfectants. Ozone is created by an electrical discharge in a gas containing oxygen. Ozone production depends on oxygen concentration and impurities such as dust and water vapour in the gas. The breakdown of ozone to oxygen is rapid. It is impossible to maintain free ozone residuals in water for any significant time.
From all these details we can conclude that waste water that we produce day by day can easily treated and can protect our water sources. Here are some points that we should keep in our mind in order to protect our local waterways 1. flush responsibly 2. Dont pour house hold products such as cleaners, beauty products, medicines, auto fluids, and paint and lawn care product down the drain. Properly dispose them at your local household hazardous waste facility. 3. Dispose of excess household grease(meat fats, cooking oil, shortening, butter and margarine etc) diapers and personal hygienic product in the garbage can
We should not forget that in many places, especially along a river one towns waste water discharge may be the next towns water supply
