Abstract

A study of reuse of treated wastewater or effluent from wastewater treatment plant of Songklanagarind Hospital, Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai Campus for irrigation was conducted from November 1999 to February 2000. An experimental model similar to the actual condition of the soccer field of Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai campus was constructed. Conductivity, TDS and SAR of effluent were analyzed and soil permeability at the soccer field was investigated. Effluent from treatment plant of Songklanagarind Hospital was collected and sprayed over a model. Effluent and seepage was collected and analyzed for pH, BOD₅, SS and Fecal Coliform. It was found that it is practical and theoretically feasible to reuse effluent from wastewater treatment plant of Songklanagarind Hospital for irrigation.
