Abstract

The aim of this
study was to avaluate the use of waste sludge from treatment plants and to use
them in agricultural applications. With the increasing population, the amount
of waste sludge from the treatment plants is increasing in proportion to the
same amount. However, one of the important  problems in the facilities is the storage
problem, so there is an alternative solution for what to do with the excess
sludge. The disposal method that has been on the agenda in recent years is the
application of the sludge after the treatment to agricultural land. The content
of the sludge is also an important factor. Substances that should not be on
agricultural land should not be applied to the land. In case of necessary
conditions, it has great advantages both in terms of  agricultural land and increase plant.
