This study was conducted to explore the present trend and pattern of industrial growth with spatial distribution of industries and seasonal extent of physicochemical characteristics of wastewater at Sreepur of Gazipur, Bangladesh. The wastewater samples were collected from 5 locations in three seasons viz. pre-monsoon, monsoon and dry season. A total of 120 medium to large industries were surveyed, among those 52 were in red category, 53 were in orange-B category, 13 were in orange-A and only 2 were in green category. In 1995, there were only three industries, which gradually increased to a total of 29 in 2005. Among them, 11 were in red category and 18 were in orange-B category. But from 2006-2010, a total 59 industries were developed and most of them were in red and orange-B categories. Similarly, during the period of 2011 to March 2013, a total 16 industries were developed, among them 8 industries were in red and 3 were in orange-B category. Major types of wastewater discharging industries were textile, dyeing, washing and printing. Among the surveyed industries about 33% didn’t have any effluent treatment plant (ETP). The mean value of pH, EC, DO, BOD, COD and TDS of wastewater were 7.28, 2.64, 1.62 mg L-1, 82.0 mg L-1, 217.31 mg L-1 and 1380 mg L-1, respectively during pre-monsoon; 6.7, 1.15, trace, 8.0 mg L-1, 152.4 mg L-1 and 539.58 mg L-1, respectively during monsoon and 7.7, 1.82, 0.74 mg L-1, 48.8 mg L-1, 204.8 mg L-1 and 993.6 mg L-1, respectively during dry season. Average DO concentrations in all seasons and sites were significantly low, while BOD and COD contents were higher in pre-monsoon and dry seasons than the DoE permissible limit. The study concluded that the area is now a hub of polluting industries which are mostly liable to pollute the surrounding environment.

This study aimed to investigate physico-chemical properties of the Pasur River Estuarine (PRE) water connected to the Sundarbans mangrove ecosystem during the dry season for examining the ecosystem health. In-situ measurement and water sample collection were performed to assess physico-chemical properties at fifteen sampling stations along the main axis of the estuary in March 2018, April 2018, January 2019 and March 2019. Surface water temperature ranged from 20.7 to 33.7°C, pH from 7.1 to 7.9, and salinity from 8.5 to 16.2 PSU (practical salinity unit). Dissolved Oxygen (DO) concentration varied from 5.9 to 8.4 mg/L. Ammonium-nitrogen (NH4 +) was the dominant nitrogenous compound among the dissolved inorganic nitrogenous (NH4 + +NO3 -+NO2 -) compounds, and ranged from 0.11 to 2.11 mg/L. Higher NH4 + concentration in water column was largely attributed to release by tidal wash-out of the interstitial waters of the surficial mangrove sediments. In contrast, phosphate concentration varied from 0.07 to 5.8 mg/L. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to elucidate the correlation among physico-chemical properties during the dry season. Temperature showed a significant positive correlation with salinity and total dissolved solids (TDS), and negative correlation with DO. Similarly, salinity showed a significant positive correlation with TDS and negative correlation with DO. According to the Redfield ratio, the PRE is a nitrogen-limited estuarine system during the dry season. Ann. Bangladesh Agric. (2020) 24(1) : 1-16
