The sewage treatment system in middle-sized towns like Vidisha often faces numerous challenges, including limited financial resources, outdated infrastructure, and increasing wastewater volumes due to population growth. This research paper delves into the intricate mechanisms and efficacy of oxidation ponds in the treatment of wastewater flowing through chor nalla which is currently discharging directly in to river Betwa without any treatment ,in Vidisha. The current situation is leading to inefficiencies in pollutant removal and potential environmental contamination. However, implementing eco-friendly solutions such as oxidation ponds/lagoons, and the strategic planting of trees like eucalyptus can offer both environmental and economic benefits. Oxidation ponds and lagoons utilize natural processes to treat sewage, relying on sunlight and microbial activity to break down organic matter and remove contaminants. These systems require minimal energy input and maintenance, making them cost-effective alternatives to conventional treatment methods. Additionally, planting trees like eucalyptus around treatment facilities can help absorb excess nutrients from wastewater, improve air quality, and provide habitat for wildlife. By harnessing the power of nature, middle-sized towns like Vidisha can overcome sewage treatment challenges while promoting sustainable and economically viable solutions. Algae thrive in oxidation ponds because they initiate the oxidation process, which aids in the breakdown of organic materials. The process of photosynthesis involves the first consumption of oxygen by agae, which is then consumed by organic matter. As a result, all bacterial colonies are reduced and water is treated as a result of the organic matter finishing with the assistance of oxygen produced. The oxygen in this air is far more beneficial for breaking down organic materials. The oxidation pond must be no deeper than ten feet. After BOD is removed, the waste is stabilized in oxidation ponds, which are inexpensive waste water treatment units that operate in both aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
