An attempt has been made to study the characteristics of the treated effluent of Saraswati Sugar Mill in Yamunanagar, by analyzing various physico-chemical parameters (pH, temperature, TS, TDS, TSS, DO, BOD, COD and oil and grease). Saraswati Sugar Mill is India's second largest sugar industry having well equipped effluent treatment plant. The duration of study was from January 2001 to March 2001. Almost all the monitored parameters were within the prescribed limits. Thus this industry does not possess any threat to water quality.
