“…On the other hand, the use of treated wastewater effluents seem to be the only water resource that is increasing as other sources such as dam, rivers and lakes are decreasing (Zabir et al 2016). In the recent past decades, the use of wastewater effluent has gained immense popularity due to some factors such as climate change, food insecurity and industrialization (Patil et al 2012).…”

“…In the recent past decades, the use of wastewater effluent has gained immense popularity due to some factors such as climate change, food insecurity and industrialization (Patil et al 2012). On the contrary, the major part of these wastewater effluents is employed for agricultural purposes which could lead to the accumulation of toxic substances from wastewater in plants (Zabir et al 2016;Koopaei and Abdollahi 2017). South Africa as a semiarid region with a level of water inadequacy has been exploring wastewater reuse especially in landscaping, agriculture and industrial application (Adewumi et al 2010).…”

Effluent from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is one of the main sources of pollution that seriously affect the physicochemical parameters in water bodies. This occurs particularly when partially treated or untreated effluent is released to various aquatic ecosystems. This constitutes a potential danger to the general environment. To safeguard the lives of human, aquatic and other living organisms, regular monitoring of wastewater effluent to ascertain their compliance with both national and international regulatory limits for water quality improvement is very crucial. This research work was carried out using standard methods to evaluate ten physicochemical parameters from the effluent of two WWTPs in Cape Town, South Africa. Our findings were: temperatures (16.90-25.33 °C), pH (5.85-7.85), EC (923.00-1294.17 µS/cm), TDS (590.72-828.27 mg/L), DO (1.30-5.50 mg/L), SO 4 2− (3.23-163.18 mg/L), COD (23.70-898.58 mg/L), BOD (9.17-252.44 mg/L), Cl − (48.17-378.48 mg/L) and PO 43− (0.10-11.32 mg/L). Temperature, pH and SO 4 2− levels in the two WWTPs were within the recommended limit for wastewater discharge by the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (DWAF), South Africa and the United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). However, other parameters did not comply fully with both DWAF and USEPA standards. The result showed that effluents from these WWTPs are possible sources of pollution to the receiving water bodies and calls for enhancement of the WWTPs operations to ensure safe effluent discharge.

“…Groundwater pollution due to the presence of different ionic constituents including heavy metals is a serious problem all over the world including Bangladesh. According to published reports, the common identifiable contaminants in both surface and groundwater of Bangladesh are Pb, Cd, Cr, Cu, As, Zn, Mn, Fe, K, HCO 3 , Cl and SO 4 , which have significant adverse effects on irrigation and drinking water qualities [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Jamalpur district is famous in Bangladesh for the production of different types of agricultural products [15].…”

The study was undertaken to evaluate groundwater quality both for drinking and irrigation usage collected from the Sadar upazila of Jamalpur district, Bangladesh. Total 20 groundwater samples were collected from the whole area and analysed for various physicochemical parameters following standard protocols at the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during March to December 2017. Concentrations of different heavy metal (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cr, Cd and Zn) in groundwater samples were measured by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Major cation chemistry showed their dominance in order of Ca > Mg > Na > K. Among the anions, HCO3 was the most dominating ion, which makes all groundwater unsuitable for irrigation. But considering major cations and anions, all groundwater samples were rated as suitable for drinking. In context of heavy metals, the amounts of Mn, Cd and Pb in groundwater were comparatively higher than the standard limits, which makes 14, 8 and 19 samples problematic for irrigation, and 13, 18 and 1 samples unsuitable for drinking, respectively. Electrical conductivity (EC) and sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) reflected that all groundwater samples were low to medium salinity (C1-C2) and low alkalinity (S1) hazards classes. As regards to hardness, out of 20 groundwater samples, 9 samples were classified as moderately hard, 10 were hard and only 1 sample was very hard in quality. According to residual sodium carbonate (RSC), 18 groundwater samples were found in suitable class, 1 sample was rated as marginal and the rest 1 was categorised as unsuitable class. The study concluded that HCO3, Mn, Cd and Pb were the major contaminants in groundwater of Sadar upazila of Jamalpur district, Bangladesh. Finally, the study suggested that the groundwater in this area needs to treat to minimise the amount of contaminants before using both for irrigation and drinking.

Industrialisation and unplanned urbanisation in different city areas of Bangladesh have greatly distorted the natural water resources. The present study was undertaken to evaluate ionic contamination level including heavy metals in effluents, surface and groundwater of Rangpur city, Bangladesh. Total 29 samples (24 effluents and surface water and 5 groundwater) were collected from the city area and analysed for various physicochemical parameters at the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during January to September 2017. The concentrations of heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cr, and Zn) in water samples were measured by an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS). Major cation chemistry showed their dominance in the order of Na +
