Sewage is 99 % water carrying domestic wastes originating in kitchen, bathing, laundry, urine and night soil. It is a major point source of water pollution. Current and future fresh water demand could be met by enhancing water use efficiency through treating the sewage. The objective of the study was to develop a novel sewage treatment method and assess and monitor the physicochemical parameters of untreated and treated sewage of sewage treatment plant at Bhiwandi, Dist. Thane, Maharashtra. Various physico chemical parameters such as water colour, temperature, pH, total dissolved solids, transparency, total hardness, total alkalinity, chlorides, calcium, silica, iron, nitrate, nitrite, phosphates, ammonia, carbonates, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demand were determined by standard protocols. Results showed that all the parameters of treated sewage were in the permissible limits. Therefore, the developed novel sewage treatment technique is efficient enough to treat the sewage and make it usable for different human activities.
