Abstract
Urban environmental management is one of the most pressing issues as the urbanization trend continues globally. Among the challenges faced by urban planners is the need to ensure ongoing basic human services such as the provision of water and sanitation. The under-management of domestic sewage in many urban areas presents a major challenge. Prior to the selection of suitable treatment, the physico-chemical characteristics of domestic sewage have to be studied. From the city Chidambaram of Tamilnadu, domestic sewage samples were collected and analysed. Some of the parameters exceed the permissible limit for discharging in to surface waters prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board of India. A correlation analysis has been carried out among the parameters. The analysis is awfully realistic in wastewater management as well as safe disposal strategies.
