Stochastic Models have been used to analyze the inflow rate of wastewater to the sewage treatment plant (STP) of Southern Mysore. Based on the daily inflow data of 217 days (November 2011 to June 2012), many possible combinations of the orders ‘p’ and ‘q’ were made with the differencing one (d=1). On the basis of diagnostic check, ARIMA (1, 1, 2) was selected which has a combination of significant R – square value of 0. 899 and a least Normalized Bayesian information Criterion (BIC) value of 1.681. Linear regression model applied to the observed inflow and the predicted values of inflow obtained by the ARIMA model showed positive linear correlation. Forecasted inflow rate was high for 300 days, which infers that the future designs for STP may need modification to accommodate the high inflow and since the series has no seasonal trend, an average inflow may also occur for some days.

Key words:
Sewage Inflow, Times series, ARIMA, Linear Regression.

INTRODUCTION
The safe treatment of sewage constitutes a huge responsibility; therefore Government has set up Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) based on the generation of waste, population and the respective area. The sewage treatment progresses slowly and it can be done efficiently, if it is planned according to the inflow changes of raw sewage. Hence the most important

    A contractor developed a multiplicative time-series model to forecast the number of contracts in future quarters, using quarterly data on number of contracts during the 3-year period from 2006 to 2008. The following is the resulting regression equation: ln = 3.37 + 0.117 X - 0.083 Q1 + 1.28 Q2 + 0.617 Q3 where is the estimated number of contracts in a quarter X is the coded quarterly value with X = 0 in the first quarter of 2006. Q1 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the first quarter of a year and 0 otherwise. Q2 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the second quarter of a year and 0 otherwise. Q3 is a dummy variable equal to 1 in the third quarter of a year and 0 otherwise. 16-1. The best interpretation of the constant 3.37 in the regression equation is: A. the fitted value for the first quarter of 2006, after to seasonal adjustment, is 103.37. B. the fitted value for the first quarter of 2006, prior to seasonal adjustment, is log10 3.37. C. the fitted value for the first quarter of 2006, prior to seasonal adjustment, is 103.37. D. the fitted value for the first quarter of 2006, after to seasonal adjustment, is log10 3.37. 16-2. The best interpretation of the coefficient of X (0.117) in the regression equation is: A. the quarterly compound growth rate in contracts is around 11.7%. B. the quarterly compound growth rate in contracts is around 30.92%. C. the annual compound growth rate in contracts is around 30.92%. D. the annual compound growth rate in contracts is around…

    The clean-up operation is thus a comprehensive effort by Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation, Citizens, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board as well as NGOs, as the complex nature of land use suggests. The steps to be taken to minimize pollution are as follows, 1) Provide sewerage system on both the banks of the river so that the sewage is collected and treated at various locations. This includes existing sewage discharge drains provided by BMC Immediately stop all the unauthorized industries which includes scrap dealers, scrap recyclers, waste oil recyclers etc. These industries contribute industrial waste, hazardous waste as well as sludge. Provide proper garbage collection system on both banks of the river, so that garbage is not dumped in the river. To improve flow pattern, it is essential to clean the bed of Mithi river right from Powai to Mahim. This will improve its carrying capacity. To improve the quality of water, sewage treatment plants are essential at various locations. The analysis report clearly indicates that the water after treatment can be reused in industry or for gardening. Both the banks of Mithi river can be planted with proper vegetation for beautification. In fact this will work as a natural eco-system to improve the quality of water and save cost of providing expensive treatment plants. If the sludge is removed from the bed of Mithi river, it may be possible to use this river for internal navigation purpose, using some…

    Also these plants operate at a very pressure ranging anywhere from 10 bar to 70 bar. The raw water that is fed into the system is called Feed water and the reusable water coming out of the system is called Permeate. This permeate is colorless, odorless and neutral pH water that is generally used as the tap that is supplied by municipal corporation. Apart from permeate there is also highly concentrated waste or impure water which is called Reject. This reject is highly concentrated, more concentrated than the original feed itself. Now the quantity of reject is generally very low and is decided by the recovery rate. If the recovery rate is 80%, then the reject is just 20% of the feed whereas rest 80% of it is permeate that used back in the manufacturing process as the water that is provided by the municipal corporation. The reject cannot be treated further and it is given a different treatment which is through evaporators. Evaporators are widely used in industries, evaporators basically converts the water molecules of the reject into vapors leaving behind the contaminants with higher boiling…

    Domestic sewage pollution is the pollution caused to the earth by domestic use. It contain of sewage originating primarily from kitchen,bathroom, and laundry sources and also waste from food preparation, dishwashing, garbage, toilets, baths, showers, and sinks. Sewage is the term used for wastewater that often contains faeces, urine and laundry waste. Sewage disposal is a major problem in developing countries as many people in these areas don’t have access to sanitary conditions and clean water. Untreated sewage water in areas without access to sanitary conditions can contaminate the water, which can result with diseases.…
