ABSTRACT. As the days pass, the importance of waste and waste treatments
increases. In the latest years, in particular, this importance
reached the extent that it became a global issue of the near and far future
in general, and in the Arab & Islamic regions in particular.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as one of these concerned countries,
has done unbeatable efforts in order to provide water to its citizens for
the multidaily utilizations in addition to agricultural and industrial
uses. Nevertheless, the need of new methods in finding more pure
water for the different daily uses still remains. Hence, this study was
conducted to evaluate the possibility of the future utilizations of
wastewater under environmental circumstances prevail in the western
region of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, choosing the wastewater
treatment plant station at the City of Holy Makkah as a case study.
The study was divided into major parts, reported here is the microbiological
characterizations of this water within defined periods of the
year and along wastewater stream.
Six locations were defined for sampling along the channel of this
water beginning at the treatment plant station, bypassing the pouring
point, till the end of the channel taking in mind semi-equal distances.
This continued for six months, and the months of Ramadan and Zul-
Hijjah took place at the beginning and the end of this period orderly.
The microbiological analysis was repeated in another stage for three
months, this time the month of Zul-Hijjah came in the middle of the
test period.
Eventually, the outcome result, whether in the first part or in the
second one was that the wastewater of the City of Holy Makkah can
be used for agriculture within limited and conditioned circumstances.
At the same time efforts should be continued aiming to reach to the
best methods in getting benefits of this wastewater and to study the effects
of such water on the environment in Orana Valley near by Holy
Makkah. |
