A survey identifying the principal sources and type of effluents within four industries in Dar es Salaam Region,namely: Tanzania Breweries,Friendship Textile Mill, Tanganyika Packers and Tanzania has been conducted. The effluents have been characterised by flow measurement, sampling and analysis. Flow measurement and sampling were carried out simultaneously. The variations in wastewater quality parameters were noted. A study on the present industrial wastewater treatment and disposal in the reqion was also conducted. The results of the survey and analysis form the basis for decision making on the possible methods of minimizing water amounts and waste volume, wastewater treatment and disposal. The creation of a National Environmental Management Council to plan and implement measures for control industrial waste discharges and other environmental problems in Tanzania has been recommended. /Kir09 |
