Land Based Water Pollution

Published on by in Non Profit

I am working on a project which aims to reduce water pollution from agriculture.

Kindly suggest the best practices at the household level, community level or institution level. 

Are there any case studies, youtube links or any material related to this topic (in any language)?

  1. The method of reducing land use pollution for agriculture, is to not plant same product every year. The more you plant same product you increase pollution, but by changing type of product it will help us to reduce land pollution.

  3. non sewage river water to be made fit for drinking can be done in 3 ways

    1. by ozonization is not expenisive if done in a certain way

    2. by a UV low cost filter developed by me @ 1 liter/second or more

    3. by installing a automated 7 MLD TREATMENT PLANT costing about 10 crores 

  4. Reed beds are appropriate for some land water pollution.

  5. Hello the earth pollution of a surface hydraulic environment does not exist. It is a natural phenomenon that water runoff on the soil, spills into a surface hydraulic environment.

    The same goes for animal droppings, human feces, the decomposition of animals or plants. 

    This phenomenon has nothing to do with the practice of water use in the habitat for everyday needs.

    In biological sanitation It is recommended to respect the biological characteristics of waste water by removing the use of chemical household products.

  6. Solutions are diverse. We are currently working on an integrated management plan for the Ganga River. Cooperating with both national and regional offices. Diffuse pollution from agriculture will be tackled as well.

  7. go to the ecological engineering journal, you will find good articles there .margarete kalin

  9. I am well aware of the mineral used to purify water from nitrates, bacteria and other contaminants in tube wells, in household and other filters. But this mineral is produced very far from you.
    I advise you to select and test minerals with similar properties in India. Simple filters can be manufactured or collected in every family, community or institution. I have been using such filters for more than 20 years.

    1. 1. for getting rid of bacteria in tube wells or underground aquefiers  if contaminated is by adding small amounts of sodium hyperchlorite for 6-12 months which is freely available in india 

      2. for house holds i am manufacturing in india  a UV WATER FILTER THE EXPORT PRICE OF WHICH IS US $ 10 EACH FOB

      any body interested can contact me to send a photo of the product & it is better than RO which requires regular change of filter at extra cost

      3. it is meant for 90% of the population who cannot afford the expensive RO

    2. The mineral, which I use for many years, is produced in the north-west of Russia. In Russia, it is widely used for water treatment. But its delivery from Russia in India is problematic, especially in winter. India is rich in various minerals. Therefore, I advised you to select suitable minerals in India and test them  you yourself. Maybe with my recomendations. But my recomendations, knowledge and practical experience - only when developing a joint project.

    3. Thank you Sir. Can you please share your study/practice report to me so that I can try to replicate here ?

      1. Dear  Praveen Subramani ,

        Water should be not only clean, but also biologically active (useful).
        I can share the mineral sorbents, homemade simple filters for water purification and saturation with useful mineralic agents as well as recommendations for their testing and application. But these services must be paid in advance.

        Kind Regards,

  10. The first mean is to reduce water contamination with good practices, using an adapted storage for fertilizers, fuel and pesticides. The second is to have an special area to collect effluents and to treat them, like a Phytobac®️(Bayer) or biobed. In  order to treat water it could be possible to try an Epuration tower, see details on Linkedin.                                                                                                  Jean-Yves Darmedru

  12. Hello,

    We provide BIOSORB decontamination water purification unit to reuse water for irrigation and Drinking water.

    www.interecotec.com/biosorb

    This material is 100% organic and works as a Ion exchanger reaching high performance removing many heavy metals without energy.

    Our waterline module can complete any waterline, just call me up.

    Very welcome for organic cultures.

    Kind regards.

  13. I use MgO (Magnesium Oxide) prill beads to purify drinking water.

    The prill beads come from a deep mine in Nevada. They are processed at 700 degrees which turns them into ceramic beads that do not dissolve in water.

    The beads place a positive charge in the water that shatters the magnetic bond that holds together any contaminants or pollutants (chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals: zinc, copper, lead, chromium-VI, pesticides, radiation, pharmaceuticals, mold, Ecoli, bacterias, etc) and gasses them out of the water. It raises the water pH to 8.7, high alkalinity, high oxygen, and thins the water so that can penetrate the cell membranes and flush out your toxins.

    As to hydration: 3 glasses of prill water is equal to drinking 1 gallon of reverse osmosis water. 

    2 packages of MgO prill beads is enough for a 3 gal container with spigot at bottom. 

    The beads last indefinitely. They Never wear out, Never lose their charge and Never have to be replaced. Total cost per household is a 1-time $40...

  14. A nutrient management plan to control nitrogen return flows from fertilizers will help. One of the other water quality issues is the fate and transport of pesticides in return flows. The UCD Integrated Pest Management Program has a plethora of information for farmers to help ensure that pesticides are used safely and to help insure that any ag return flows do not impact water quality.

  15. RBC is the best all round technology for wastewater treatment as it has low, tech, energy consumption, residuals, maintenance, footprint, noise with consistent high spec treated water output

  16. We work with a technology that is extracted from biotite volcanic deposits. It's a matrix of 102 minerals in bioavailable form.

    When added to any water it will:

    1. Clean out over 250 contaminants, including chemicals, heavy metals, bacteria, viruses, and more.
    2. Structure the water and move it into phase 4 (as in healthy cells)
    3. Add a full spectrum of minerals to the water, and consequently to plants and people who drink it. Minerals is what plants need in order to grow and produce nutrition.
    4. Only small amounts required.

  17. Every state, in the USA,  has an Extension Service, formerly Cooperative Extension Service through the state land grant Universities that connects agricultural research with farmers and gardeners.  Protecting natural resources is part of learning to grow commercially. A state with a similar climate will have the recommended practices for your situation. 

  19. You can use GIS to determine water flows and sub-watersheds that you can focus implementing LID (low impact development) management projects to collect rainwater runoff to prevent downstream pollution.

  20. Introduce and operate a strict Nutrient Management Plan for all landspreading operations.

    Maintain spread free zones along all water courses, and if possible plant a "belt" of native trees (say 10 to 15 m wide)  along all the course of all rivers and streams.

    Use a wetland area if the topography allows.

  21. Also there are a number of ways to cut down on the amount of chemicals used on the crops.

  22. Pollution fixing plants around the agriculture area, bio swells might help. Same reason wetland are so important.
