Abstract
This study aims at describing the parameters of waste stabilization technique using anaerobic and facultative ponds. The waste
water samples were taken from raw sewage & final treated water and analyzed physicochemical parameters like conductivity,
total hardness and chemical oxygen demand in the 2009. The efficiency of conductivity, total hardness and chemical oxygen
demand was significant. The waste water treatment plant system using different materials showed excellent potential for
conductivity, total hardness and chemical oxygen demand removal from waste water treatment plant. The results of analysis of
treated water for conductivity, total hardness and chemical oxygen demand (COD) indicate that the final treated water can be
used for industrial cooling and agricultural purposes.
Keywords: Sewage, waste water treatment plant, conductivity, total hardness and COD.
