1. The document lists 20 Indian drinking water quality standards and parameters including permissible and maximum limits for characteristics like pH, TDS, hardness, alkalinity, nitrates, sulfates, fluoride, chloride, turbidity and various metals.
2. It mentions industrial waste water discharge standards but does not provide details.
3. It identifies anaerobic bacteria and Bacillus as important bacteria used in biological wastewater treatment processes. Anaerobic bacteria facilitate decomposition of organic matter while Bacillus is well-suited for treating fats, oils, greases and proteins.

anaerobic bacteria are an important element in the wastewater treatment processes. They are responsible for methane fermentation of sewage sludge, facilitating decomposition of macromolecular organic matter into simpler compounds. Bacillus is an excellent treatment of bacteria in wastewater but is best suited for treating fats, oils, greases, and proteins. That is why they are primarily used in wastewater treatment plants.
