The treatment performance of the sewage treatment oxidation pond of a Rourkela Steel Plant was assessed in terms of pH, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), turbidity and dissolved oxygen from the influent. These parameters were simultaneously monitored in the receiving stream, influent and effluents .Significant pollution of the receiving stream was indicated for BOD5, dissolved oxygen and pH.
In this study, an attempt has been made to assess the levels of some water quality parameters-pH, BOD5, Turbidity, Dissolved solids and total solids suspended solids in the sewage treatment oxidation pond of Rourkela steel plant
