“…This effluent can alter the properties of the receiving water body and soil [10] [11]. The first effect of liquid waste is to degrade the physical and chemical quality of both water and soil [12]. They further stated that an increase in population growth, rapid industrialisation and urbanisation around the world had created severe problems of soil and water pollution.…”

This work studied the effect of fish pond wastewater, proximate and mineral analyses of the fish feeds from commercial fish ponds on receiving soils in the southern Guinea Savanna ecological zone of Minna, Nigeria. The study conducted during the dry seasons of the years 2015 and 2016 between January and May. Four sets of soil samples were collected at varying distances from the various fish ponds and analysed for physicochemical properties, Particle size analysis and Exchangeable Acidity. Similarly, two different sets of water samples were collected each from various farms studied and analysed for physicochemical properties such as pH, E c (Electrical conductivity), TDS (Total dissolved solids), Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Turbidity, Temperature, DO (Dissolved Oxygen), BOD (Biological oxygen demand), Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium. Average results obtained for the two dry seasons for the soil samples around the fish farms showed that: pH 6.33 -7.24, Organic Carbon 2.03 -6.00 g/kg, Available Phosphorus 7 -10 mg/kg, Total Nitrogen 0.95 -2.10 g/kg, Exchangeable Bases and Exchangeable Acidity 0.02 -0.06 Cmol/kg were within the permissible limits of FAO and WHO. The various parameters were within the permissible limits for fish production. The fish wastewater had Electrical Conductivity 118 -230 µS/cm, pH 6.79 -7.10, and Biological Oxygen Demand 3.0 -6.0 mg/L. In conclusion, the wastewater from fish farms is good sources of fertiliser to the surrounding farmlands.

“…The diluted distillery effluent irrigation improved the physical and chemical properties of the soil and further increased soil microflora (Barkle et al, 2000). However, being rich in nutrient and organic content, its indiscriminate use for a long period has a risk of deteriorating the physico-chemical properties of the soil (Tripathi et al, 2011). Accordingly nutrient levels of soils are expected to increase with continuous irrigation with distillery wastewater (Yadav et al, 2002).…”

ABSTRACT:The utilization of treated agro-industrial effluents has been recommended as sound option for agriculture irrigations practices and sustainable land management programme. This paper presents the impact of utilizing treated effluent form a distillery industry on physico-chemical properties of soils in an agriculture plot. The effluent was applied in 50 and 100% strength and a control plot received normal groundwater as irrigation water under wheat cropping system. No fertilizer was applied in effluent treated crop while field with groundwater received normal dose of chemical fertilizer. The distillery effluent treated plots showed considerable level of all major soil nutrients. The pH of effluent irrigated soils was in alkaline scale while EC of same soil suggests the high concentration of soil nutrients. The organic carbon (3.25 -6.75 %) was high in effluent irrigated soils than control. The ranges of important soil nutrients: total P, total N, total K, total Ca, total Fe, total Mg and total Zn were relatively higher in effluent treated soils than control plots. Results suggested that distillery effluent can be a sustainable option for crop irrigation to solve twofold problems of agriculture system: soil nutrient deficiency and supply of water for crop irrigation.

“…Effluent irrigation has been practiced for centuries throughout the world (Shuval et al, 1986;Tripathi et al, 2011). It provides farmers with a nutrient enriched water supply and society with a reliable and inexpensive system for wastewater treatment and disposal (Feigin et al, 1991).…”
