ABSTRACT. The physical and chemical characteristics of the wastewater
effluent from Makkah wastewater treatment plant was investigated.
The effluent is disposed into Wadi Uranah southeast of the
Holy City. Water samples were picked up on monthly basis from six
locations evenly distributed along the wastewater stream for a period
of six months. The analysis of the wastewater included the determination
of electric conductivity (EC), suspended solids (SS), total
solids (TS), total volatile solids (TVS), pH, biochemical oxygen demand
(BOD5), ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N), total phosphorus (P),
chloride (Cl—), dissolved sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), potassium (K)
and the sodium adsorption ratio (SAR).This study showed that many
of the measured parameters did not meet the requirements of the Saudi
Meteorology and Environmental Protection Administration
(MEPA) regulations for the direct discharge of wastewater. The quality
of the wastewater along the stream render it suitable only for restricted
irrigation. The natural purification process on the wastewater
along the stream was only effective for certain parameters (BOD, S.S
and P). |
