1. To isolate sewage pond to prevent contamination
2. To be able to know the treatment of sewage pond for irrigation, re-creation and other re-use.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
The aim of this project is to analysis the wastewater for pathogen bacteria.
The specific objectives of this project work are:
1. To determine the appropriate treatment of wastewater to be collected.
