Abstract

Sewage disposal is a major problem in developing countries as many people in these areas don’t have access to sanitary conditions and clean water. Untreated sewage water in such areas can contaminate the environment and cause diseases such as diarrhea. Filtration method using sand and gravel has been tried here for the removal of impurities in waste water and getting good removal of pollution parameters like chlorides, hardness, BOD and COD. Geotextile material are permeable materials which is widely used in all areas of civil, geotechnical, coastal, environmental and hydraulic engineering. In this study geotextile material is incorporated into filtration columns to study the enhancement of filtration. The removal percentage of pollution parameters were increased indicating the role of geotextile material in the filtration process
