A laboratory investigation was carried out on the removal of organics, colour, toxic metals and nutrients from industrial wastewaters using an activated algae-reactor system. The preliminary investigation shows encouraging results on removal of such pollutants from the industrial wastewaters. In this paper, the authors present the results of their investigation and highlight the effectiveness of the activated algae-reactor system for treating industrial wastewaters as a means for alleviating the pollution of water bodies.

The management and status of public water bodies in Japan is discussed. The environmental quality standards which have been set and the levels of compliance with these standards are shown. The water quality of Japanese rivers, lakes, reservoirs, wetlands and coastal waters is described, and eutrophication problems are mentioned. The effects of changes in population density and levels of recycling of industrial wastewaters on the quality of water bodies are discussed. Almost 75% of industrial wastewater is now recycled. Per capita availability of freshwater in Japan is comparatively low, and the construction of 530 dams, in addition to the 2393 dams already in operation, is planned. Irrigation effluents from paddy fields are a major factor which influences river water quality in Japan. The improvement of water quality using various methods is discussed.
