Abstract : Influent and effluent water flows are referred to as the entering flow to STP. Influent is the term for the incoming water or wastewater that enters the treatment plant. It includes all the sewage and wastewater from homes, industries, and other sources before it has been treated. The influent is typically characterized by high levels of contaminants and pollutants. Effluent is the term for the treated water that exits the treatment plant after the various treatment processes have been completed. The effluent is typically much cleaner than the influent, although it may still contain some residual contaminants. This study examines how soil characteristics and plant growth are impacted by effluent, and influent, with a particular emphasis on fenugreek farming. The majority of the alterations in the irrigated soil were found to be associated with increases in soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and nutrient levels (N, P, and K) of 7.91, 1.01, 241, 41.89, and 96.73.When compared to the plant height measurement shows that influent and effluent irrigation produce superior growth, with influent irrigation producing the maximum plant growth.

Keywords : Irrigation, Influent, Effluent and Fenugreek.
