Abstract

The results indicated that the monthly average of the number of total coliforms in raw sewage and effluent are 3.84 E6 and 7.01E2 respectively and also the fecal Coliform is 2.7 E6 and 4.76E2 MPN/100 ml respectively. Therefore, the overall efficiency of wastewater treatment in the removal of total coliforms, fecal Coliforms and the nematodes eggs are 99.98%, 99.98% and 97.25% as respectively. Further 94.45% of the effluent samplings in terms of fecal Coliform and 100% of the samplings in terms of nematodes eggs have been matched with the Engelberg guidelines and it can be used in agriculture.
