This project is focused on the evaluation of the impact of untreated sewage effluent on farm lands. The use of sewage water for irrigation improved chemical properties and fertility status in soil.
Sewage water contains elements essential for plant growth and also contains heavy metals which maybe toxic for animals if their concentration exceeds the permissible limit.To monitor this situation, a survey was conducted to ascertain the addition of heavy metals into agricultural fields through sewage water irrigation for grass crops in the farmlands of selected areas of Sancaros farm in Awgu local government area of Enugu state. The results indicated that in sewage water the permissible amounts of totalN,totalP and potassium which are considered essential nutrients for productivity levels(grass growth) and soil fertility.

waste effluents which are discharged into septic tank or sterilization
pond and have not undergone treatment process. This untreated sewage
effluent contains heavy metals such as sulphur, zinc, copper and other
toxic metals. (Kharche, et al, 2011)Effluent from Municipal sewage
treatment plants often contain high level of plant nutrient,
particularly nitrogen and potassium, which are essential to crop growth.
