Authors:      Khandaker S., Saha G., Islam M. S., Ratan M.M.R.
Abstract:     With the industrial development in bangladesh, the waste management systems did not develop accordingly. Though the textile effluent is a great burden for environmental pollution, it has some useful aspects which may be utilized for beneficial purposes instead of direct disposal. The use of dyeing effluents for irrigation purpose may be an alternative method for reuse which can meet the substantial irrigation requirements in bangladesh. As per our study, this type of practice in bangladesh has not yet started extensively.Some researchers conducted their research using different less contaminated wastewater from dyeing process in irrigation of some vegetables where growth, yield and nutritional qualities did not hampared. However, some type of wastewater occured heavy metal contamination in the different parts of vegetables. And some other study was carried out using dilluted wastewater where it was shown that dilluted wastewater is suitable fo irrigation. Therefore in this study we tried to make an integrated approach from different research works to assess the reuse of wastewater on some selected crops like indian spinach, steam amaranth, pea, wheat, tomato etc.This information could be beneficial for practical application of wastewater in irrigation in bangladesh andcan be the sustainable solution to industrial pollution.
