region, which is economical to freshwater. The benefits of sewage irrigation are more but preventionary measures are to be taken in order to avoid environmental risk. Sewage irrigation or farming is n of the techniques to decrease the load on recycle and reuse. Available natural resources, sewage farming is away to meet the demand for freshwater. Sewage will improve the physiochemical characteristics of soi, since sewage contains essential nutrient such as N, P, K and macronutrients which will promote plants growth.

effluent mannerism and its impact on groundwater around the Sewage treatment plant. The main objectives of this work are to appraise the effectiveness of the treatment procedure and to identify the potential hazards related to release of treated effluent into the environment. The findings will help environmental authorities, wastewater treatment facilities, and local communities create more sensible plans for managing wastewater sustainably and safeguarding soil and groundwater resources. The release of effluent to ground it reaches ground water, as a result, groundwater potability and usability can be harmed. It is advised to conduct further investigations to monitor the broader implications and put essential precautions in place to reduce potential hazards to the environment and public health

1.1 Repercussion of Effluent on Groundwater Groundwater is natural water source which plays important role in satisfying the water demand for various purpose in dry and droughty regions. Quality of groundwater is considered as finer than surface water, since soil columns purifies the water through various processes such as anerobic decomposition, filtration, ion exchange etc., Over exploitation of groundwater leads to lowering of water table and quality deterioration. The groundwater is recharged mainly through rainfall and seepage of surface water bodies such as rivers lakes etc., Contamination of groundwater will damage the ecosystems that depend on it, such as wetland habitat rivers, and lakes, which will lead to loss of biodiversity and hazardous ecosystems. Individuals who ingest contaminated groundwater or come into connection with it will catch waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, hepatitis, and gastroenteritis via pathogens that inhabit sewage. Significant amounts of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus are occasionally detected in sewage. These nutrients are capable of causing eutrophication when they accomplish groundwater, which disrupts aquatic life leading to in algal blooms and oxygen depletion in surface water bodies that receive flow from the groundwater [3].

1. INTRODUCTION Water, food and energy are important and are vital issue face by whole world. Most of revers, canals and other surface and subsurface water sources are majorly polluted and are toxic for usage their experiencing moderate to severe water shortage across the globe and their effecting urbanization, industrialization and agriculture growth. The per capita water consumption has been increased significantly due to rapid growth of population and standard of living [2]. Waste water or low-quality water are major source of demand management after the treatment for general usage such as for gardening, washing, and for coolant for an industrial application. Water which is adversely affected by anthropogenic influence are termed as waste water. The liquid waste that is discharged from household and other commercial properties are termed has wastewater [1]. Due to rapid urbanization, growth of population, standard of living and development of industries leads to sever challenge for the disposal of sewage or sewage treatment plant effluent. Due to ensuring demand for water, the practice of domestic sewage in farming became more common or practicing way of handling sewage or sewage effluent.
