The potential risks associated with the use of recycled water have become a matter of concern for many organisations which are recycling water. Out of the many reasons, the major ones are that they are not able to maintain the efficiency of the treatment plant and to meet the high energy demand of these plants. These problems have led to restricted usage of treatment plants by the industries hence they allow the waste water to bypass directly into the natural water bodies without any treatment. This work has taken into consideration the issue of river Yamuna in Delhi, which is one of the most polluted rivers of the world. It has been identified that Nazafgarh drain located in west Delhi has got a major contribution in the polluting Yamuna. The need of the hour is to find an innovative solution to resolve the problem of water recycling and offer a platform to the industries where the burden of treating their factory effluents is taken care of. This paper proposes a 1 MLD water treatment plant based on Soil Biotechnology which can efficiently treat the Nazafgarh drain water and make it fit for disposal into Yamuna. SBT is an eco-friendly and sustainable technology developed at IIT Bombay which provides all levels of treatment in a single evergreen set up open to atmosphere which is odorless, cheap, simple to operate, easy to maintain and could be set up within the area of habilitation.

The city is the economic and social life, as in the range of human abode, food and so on. The heights of the dependence of man, his various powers of the time to have done, and by the desire to consolidate and bring to the life of the necessary coordination with the villages thereof, and in the nature of necessity and for a dwelling-place and information to build the human environment. In all, according to the nature of the species, and the culture and civilization of the difference, and principal users, as one element in the human city, and that the beneficiaries of the effective element of his own. Unfortunately, irregular to pass out to the cities, especially the metropolises made us to increase of faces, to provide the service, and to the many questions of the citizens. Smart of this question in recent decades, a number of strategies for the solution of the great circles that was offered in the academic plans. That is powerful, smart electronic city and citizens of continuous service users, but unlike electronic city so residents know each client, users smart and play the role of the citizens of the city, the head of the fountain. Unlike the electronic city, only to meet the needs of the citizens of the city had no pain, but in the interaction cycle, is exposed to the knowledge of the heads of men, and were out of the city, provide services in the city, which is done in the way of life of the urban development. On the other hand, it should be noted, because of the large and the density of the high places of the cities of the time, already in the cities which have no matter to work on the administration of the traditional methods of the town is rather moderate. This study tries to explain the history of the electronic city, he laid the city: and the sorrow of mourning in the city. In this study, we found an expert to other learned men proceeded so far, better to use.

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of aircraft noise pollution on community and workers' health near Abu Dhabi International Airport. This study was conducted in residential neighborhoods and employment areas living and working within a 25-km radius of the airport with high exposure to aircraft noise and in matched control areas far from the airport (outside the 25-km radius) and are unaffected by aircraft noise. Data was collected by conducting a revealed-preference face-to-face interview surveys among the residents and the workers nea rand far from Abu Dhabi International Airport during the months of September and December 2014. A total of 5,070 residents in both areas (2,579 near the airport and 2,492 far from the airport) and 1,995 workers in both areas (995 near the airport and 1,000 far from the airport) were interviewed and completed the questionnaire. Binomial Logit Regression Model was used to determine the impact of aircraft noise on community and workers' health. After controlling for confounders, the health of the residents adjacent to the airport who have been chronically exposed to high aircraft noise level are found to be worse than the control group. The results show that residents from the noise exposure area have a high level of noise stress, hypertension, headache, general disturbance, loss of sleep/insomnia, and hearing problems than the matched control area. On the other hand, aircraft noise pollution near Abu Dhabi Airport has no negative impact on workers adjacent to the airport. The impact of aircraft noise on community health should not restrain the growth of air travel industry in the city as this growth is essential and beneficial to the whole nation's economy. The reduction of aircraft noise level in the exposed area could be achieved by imposing policies, codes of practices, and action noise plans to assess and evaluate land use management as an effective tool for mitigating aircraft noise. Future research should assess community health based on self-reported physician diagnosed blood pressure; and hearing, stress, headache diagnostic examination.

The mechanical properties of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixture are directly related to the internal structure. Earlier studies have suggested that aggregate-to-aggregate contact maybe a significant contributor to the mechanical properties of HMA mixes. In this study, the mechanical properties of HMA mixture, quantified by Marshall Stability, Flow and Marshall Quotient, were related to the internal structure in terms of aggregate-to-aggregate contact. For development of a model, field core samples were taken from Binder and Topeka layers at different sites. A total of 21 different HMA mixes were obtained. An advanced 2-dimensional Image Processing and Analysis System (i.e., iPas) was used to characterize the internal structure of the cores. The test results indicated that there is a strong correlation between aggregate-to-aggregate contact and mechanical properties of HMA mixture. This is an indication that aggregate-to-aggregate contactis a significant contributor to the mechanical properties of asphalt concrete.

The phenomenon that pedestrian violates traffic signals at intersections and crosses with danger is universal. This study aims to find out the influence of the waiting time of pedestrians at an intersection and the three main factors of pedestrian violations. In this study, 13 intersections and 1075 violations sample were collected in Suzhou China, which had different maximum waiting times. The validation would use the complementary video data. There are several factors, which have great influence on the proportion of pedestrian violations, such as the age, sex, arrive time, red phase, conflicting traffic volume and the length of volume crosswalks. Additionally, The significance of pedestrian maximum waiting time was highlighted in the end. For the purpose of reducing dangerous pedestrian behaviors at signalized intersections, minimizing waiting times is supposed to be one proper way.

Sewage treatment plant under study has 9 MLD capacity and is located in Gurgaon. It receives sewage from the surrounding residential areas and after three stage treatment, treated effluent is supplied back to meet water requirement for various purposes. This has certainly reduced dependency on the precious underground water and thereby reducing the burden and saving environment. For performance evaluation of the sewage treatment plant samples were collected at various stages i.e., at inlet raw sewage, after primary treatment, secondary treatment and after tertiary treatment. Samples were tested to measure various parameters like pH, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Total Kjedahl Nitrogen (TKN), Total Coliform, Phosphorous and Oil & Grease. Data on above parameters were observed and collected for three months November, 2014 to January, 2015. All these treatment are adding a huge cost to the recycled water. Hence the present study is aimed to provide alternatives to reduce the cost input. Also studies were made to find out ways by minimizing processes and stages of treatment.
