The objectives of this study were to monitor and analyse water quality and soil property in paddy fields where untreated wastewater is irrigated. Three paddy fields where streamflow mixed with untreated wastewater has been irrigated (untreated wastewater district, UWD) were selected for monitoring, and five paddy fields in Yongin area (Yongin district, YID) where water from Idong agricultural reservoir (well-managed) has been irrigated were selected for comparative evaluation. Electronic conductivity (EC), suspended solids (SS), total nitrogen (T-N), total phosphorous (T-P), $NO_3-N$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Na^+$, total coliform (TC), fecal coliform (FC), and E. coli of the irrigation water in the UWD were significantly higher than those in the YID. Relatively high concentrations of EC, T-N, T-P, TC, FC, E. coli, copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and aluminium (Al) were shown in the irrigation water of the UWD especially during May to June. In general, the paddy soil in the UWD contained more Pb, Zn, and Cu than in the YID although the soil heavy metal contents in the UWD still meet the Korean soil contamination warning standards. No temporal trends in the heavy metal concentrations were found in paddy soils of the UWD. This study showed that the use of untreated wastewater to paddy fields has the possibility of negative impacts on water quality and soil, although long-term monitoring is needed to fully evaluate its effects.

To date, there is no central wastewater (WW) treatment plant in Erbil city, Kurdistan region, Iraq. Therefore, raw WW disposes to the environment and sometimes it used directly for irrigation in some areas of Erbil city. Disposal of the untreated WW to the natural environment and using for irrigation it causes problems for the people and the environment. The aims of the current work were to study the characteristics, design of primary and different secondary treatment units and reusing of produced WW. Raw WW samples from Ashty city-Erbil city were collected and analyzed for twenty three quality parameters such as Total Suspended Solids (TSS), total dissolved solids, total volatile and non-volatile solids, total acidity, total alkalinity, total hardness, five-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), biodegradability ratio (BOD5/COD), turbidity, etc. Results revealed that some parameters such as BOD5 and TSS were exceeded the standards for disposal of WW. Design and calculations for primary and secondary treatment (biological treatment) processes were presented. Primary treatment units such as screening, grit chamber, and flow equalization tank were designed and detailed calculation were illustrated. While, Conventional Activated Sludge (CAS), Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) and Moving Bed Biofilm Reactors (MBBR) were applied for the biological treatment of WW. Results revealed that MBBR was the best and economic technique for the biological treatment of WW. Treated WW is suitable for reusing and there is no restriction on use for irrigation of green areas inside Ashty city campus.

인디아와 같은 개발 도상국에서는 규제없는 폐수 방류가 지표수 수질에 심각한 영향을 주고 있다. 인공습지(CW)는 생태학적 기작에 의하여 폐수 처리를 함으로써 수질정화와 함께 다양한 효과를 제공하는 효율적인 기술이다. 본 연구는 인디아의 폐수처리를 위해 조성된 다양한 형태의 인공습지에 대하여 자료를 정리하고 분석함으로써 객관적 효과 평가를 수행하고자 수행되었다. 연구에 사용된 인공습지 데이터는 기출판된 문헌에서 수집되었으며, 산업폐수의 경우 화학적 산소요구량(COD), 생화학적 산소요구량(BOD)이 높게 나타났다. 인디아의 생활하수 총질소(TN)와 총인(TP)은 산업폐수보다 낮은 농도를 보였다. 수직흐름 인공습지(VFCW)와 수평흐름 인공습지(HFCW)는 생활하수 및 산업 폐수의 TSS, BOD, TP 제거에 효과적으로 나타났다. 그러나 COD는 하이브리드 인공습지(HCW)에서 높은 제거율을 보였다. 인도에서는 인공습지를 폐수처리 시설의 고도처리로 활용될 경우 수질이 크게 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 인공습지의 방류수 수질은 관개용수 및 기타 농업용수로 활용가능한 수질로 평가되었다. 본 연구결과는 인디아의 지역적 특성에 적정한 인공습지 설계에 기여할 것으로 평가된다.
