Water is the most vital resource for all kinds of life, but
it is being adversely affected both quantitatively and qualitatively. Today,
most of the rivers receive millions of litre of sewage and industrial effluents
containing varying characteristics from simple nutrients to highly toxic
substances.
Because of increasing population and industrial developments,
a huge amount of wastewater is discharged to the environment above the level that the nature can eliminate. One of the most important
industrial activities in India with its magnitude of economy is the textile
industry.
Textile industry discharges a complex huge volume of waste
water containing various chemicals used in dyeing, printing and finishing
processes. The effluent generated in different steps or processes is well
beyond the standard and thus it is highly polluted and dangerous.
