Abstract
Declining natural resources and increasing environmental contamination due to human activities trigger people to consider a sustainable way to solve two problems in a solute practice. In India, numerous households discharge greywater straight into surface water, polluting the water and surrounding ecosystem. Water scarcity has become a big issue. Today in the growing world the demand of water is increasing and also water pollution is also increasing. As the population grows, so does the demand for water. On the other hand, the amount of potential water resources is declining nationwide, resulting in high pollution levels and requiring the high cost of water treatment to purify the water. To reduce the pollution load as well as to provide alternative water for indoor and outdoor use, it is necessary to find the most effective treatment. Grey water coming from household was collected and treated in laboratory scale experimental model. The model is based on the concept of STABILIZATION and Up flow-down flow. The small-scale device was built for grey water cleanup, and laboratory reports of several parameters are compared. According to report, there has been a drop in pH, BOD, COD, Total Solid, Conductivity, Chloride, levels, total removal of oil and grease, and a reduction in total dissolved solids, Nitrogen, & micro biological like MPN, E-COLI. among other things.
