The ignorant of the effect of sewage effluent on the permeability and other engineering properties of soil has to a level, reduced the pace of development in terms of technology.
The wide use of soil, irrespective of the type in virtually all civil engineering projects across the globe today has given rise to numerous researches on way of improving the properties to meet the intended use. Thus, this project examines the effect of sewage effluent contamination on the permeability of the soil.
Permeability is known to depend among other factors, on the void ratio and porosity of the soil sample. However, it has no effect on the affinity of the soil for water.
It follows that factors which increases the void ratio of a soil sample, also increases its permeability as more water is likely to pass through soil with larger voids.
Since sewage effluent is liquid pollution, which contains some microscopic solid particles, these particles tend to plug up pore passages and at the same time cause a decrease of permeability with time.
This shows that sewage effluent, although is very important to soil users in agriculture, its effect on the permeability and other engineering properties is not commendable.
