Industrial wastewater treatment is no more optional
The environmental effects of industrial wastewater usage must be considered, not only on the land but also on our environment through water consumption and wastewater disposal. The wastewater from industries worsens groundwater pollution and causes other environmental problems. This reduces the nutrients in groundwater and increases the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Furthermore, it ...

Understanding Algal Blooms and Eutrophication: A Growing Environmental Concern
The process by which water bodies, enriched by excessive nutrients, experience algal blooms is known as eutrophication. While some algal blooms are harmless, others harm both aquatic life and humans, due to the toxins they produce. Furthermore, after the algae die, they sink to the bottom of the water body, where bacteria and other microorganisms begin decomposing them, consuming oxygen in the ...

Wastewater Treatment: An Important Step In Preventing Pollution
Water treatment companies treat any wastewater entering their facilities, but large volumes of stormwater can overwhelm pipe capacities and treatment facilities during heavy rainfall and capacity events. Excess water then bypasses treatment and discharges directly into waterways through release points known as combined sewage overflows (CSOs), causing river and ocean pollution plaguing ...
