The major objective of this paper is given to soil and ground water quality improvement by utilizing the high transpiration pull property of specific plants. It acts as a catalyst to improve the water management and also effluent is getting treated in a eco friendly manner. We utilized the tannery effluent for the High Rate Transpiration System (HRTS). The treated tannery effluent is distributed in the designed plants of ridges and Furrows. And three design layouts were developed in the research activity for the plantation to get Maximum benefits depends upon the load and the nature of effluent.
Moreover, implemented system results were collected and analyzed for the impact of system on the environment. The effluent loading capacity to the designed plants were calculated and summarized.
The advantages of the HRTS are 1) No separate processing is required for effluent 2) Effluent Solids will be taken as nutrient for the plants growth 3) Water in the effluent will be penetrated under the beneath of earth and improve the ground water quality as well as quantity 4) HRTS process is ecofriendly.
