Abstract :

 Water is one of the most precious needs for life on earth. Scarcity of water can be handled if proper planning is set for wastewater treatment before its discharge in to aquatic resources as well as its reuse. The present paper deals with the heavy metals generated in the waste stream of electroplating industry and draws attention towards different available cost effective natural and newer techniques for the removal of these metals from the stream. Analysis and reuse of heavy metal iron and manganese as pesticide formula has also been detailed. Iron metal concentration was recorded highest(16.70 mg/l) in site 2 of electroplating industry during winter season and Mangnese concentration was highest up to 56.80 mg/l in site 4 of electroplating unit during winterseason. These metals when synthesized as carbamate pesticide effectively cured fungal disease of rose, injal and okra plants.
