Have you ever wondered how water treatment facilities manage to clean our water so effectively? At the heart of this process are two critical measurements: BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand). These are essential in determining the quality of water and its suitability for use. Understanding the difference between these two can […]

Wastewater discharge has significant impacts on aquatic ecosystems, affecting the water quality, biodiversity, and overall ecological balance. When untreated or poorly treated wastewater is released into water bodies, it introduces a variety of pollutants such as nutrients, pathogens, heavy metals, and organic compounds. These pollutants can lead to eutrophication, a process where excessive nutrients cause
