What is it about?
It is possible to improve water quality for example to remove colors from turbid waters by using domestic liquid waste to supply nutrients to the treatment system. It is also possible to remove bad chemicals from the water under a limited supply of oxygen and improve the chemical quality of the water under treatment.

Why is it important?
Our findings indicate that, by controlling the mixing ratio, wastewater from industries, for example, wastewater from textile industries, can be sufficiently treated to remove colors and chemical pollutants. Home-based wastewater can supply a good dose of nutrients required in the biological treatment systems.
Perspectives
In my opinion, this article brings on board the idea that wastewater from one socio-economic sector can be used to enhance treatment of wastewater from another socio-economic sector. This is a promising technology.
