Abstract

An  attempt  has  been  made  to  study   the  characteristics of  the  treated effluent  of  Saraswati Sugar  Mill  in Yamunanagar,  by  analyzing   various   physico-chemical parameters  (pH,  temperature, TS,  TDS,  TSS,  DO, BOD,  COD  and  oil  and  grease).   Saraswati Sugar  Mill  is  India's second  largest sugar  industry   having  well equipped   effluent treatment plant.  The  duration of  study  was  from  January 2001  to  March   2001. Almost  all the  monitored   parameters  were   within   the  prescribed  limits.  Thus   this   industry  does  not  possess   any threat  to  water  quality.
