Abstract With the population growth, the increase in their activities and civilization raised their water need. With the shortage in new water resources for reuse and high cost for the desalination methods for sea water leads to the depend on the wastewaters with all its types. The huge costs for treating both municipal and industrial wastewaters to be reusable for human needs open the door for treating the agriculture drains water which is bigger in amount and lower in pollution to introduce a huge source for water. Several procedures had been applied to encourage its own self purification system to overcome the pollutants faster and left the stream clean for human purposes as much as possible. This study used four different methods to enhance the stream water body quality and improve it for reuse purposes. These methods are an Agricultural waste (Rice Husk), Plastic media, Rotating paddles and stepped weir. Generally, the study shows that the temperature of air and water had no effect on the treatment or by it. Also, the pH value did not affect by the applied treatment or on it. While the TDS were affected slightly by the treatment with very low margin between 1- 4 %. It was found that using rotating paddles is the best treatment method. This system succeeded to improve DO by 82%. Decrease the BOD, COD & TSS by 85% with the four serial paddles and 68% of the heavy metals from drain water that achieved very high treatment and increase the possibility of drain water reuse. |
