Bangladesh is one of the fastest growing economies in the world, primarily driven by its textile industries. A high amount of water is consumed and polluted in the production and processing of raw material to the final product in the textile industry. Therefore, water footprint assessment is important for textile products. In this study, the water footprint of cotton cultivation, transportation and textile industry was calculated by analyzing the amount of imported cotton, production and processing capacity of cotton yarn and cotton fabrics, wastewater volume, number of workers and pollution load database, for 2012–2016. For the textile industry, the annual water footprint was found to be 1.8 billion m3. This high amount of water footprint and water pollution may result in depletion of groundwater level and can lead to major health problems for the local people, respectively. Total water footprint for ready-made garment product is found to be 27.56 billion m3, whereas considering proper water treatment and water reuse facilities can reduce the grey water footprint to around 1.26 billion m3. This study shows the extent of water pollution, groundwater depletion and economic impact of groundwater extraction, and possible means to reduce water footprint in cotton cultivation and textile industries.

Abstract. Michelle, Siregar RAN, Sanjaya A, Jap L, Pinontoan R. 2020. Methylene blue decolorizing bacteria isolated from water sewage in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 1136-1141. The textile industry contributes to water pollution issues all over the world. One of the most commonly applied cationic dye in the textile industry is methylene blue. This study aimed to isolate bacteria with the potential to decolorize methylene blue from dye contaminated sewage water located in Kulon Progo District, Yogyakarta, where several textile industries within the proximity, are located. Characterizations of bacterial candidates were done morphologically and biochemically. Molecular identification was conducted by 16S rRNA sequencing. The ability of isolates to decolorize methylene blue was observed by the reduction of methylene blue’s maximum absorption at the wavelength of 665 nm. The results showed that isolates were identified as Comamonas aquatica and Ralstonia mannitolilytica. C. aquatica PMB-1 and R. mannitolilytica PMB-2 isolates were able to decolorize methylene blue with decolorization percentage of 67.9% and 60.3%, respectively when incubated for 96 hours at 37°C. These findings present information on the capability of the genus Ralstonia and Comamonas to decolorize methylene blue cationic dye.

: Water pollution due to waste effluents of the textile industry is seriously causing various health problems in humans. Water pollution with pathogenic bacteria, especially Escherichia coli (E. coli) and other microbes is due to the mixing of fecal material with drinking water, industrial and domestic sewage, pasture and agricultural runoff. Among the chemical pollutants, organic dyes due to toxic nature, are one of the major contaminants of industrial wastewater. Adequate sanitation services and drinking quality water would eliminate 200 million cases of diarrhea, which results in 2.1 million less deaths caused by diarrheal disease due to E. coli each year. Nanotechnology is an excellent platform as compared to conventional treatment methods of water treatment and remediation from microorganisms and organic dyes. In the current study, toxicity and carcinogenicity of the organic dyes have been studied as well as the remediation/inactivation of dyes and microorganism has been discussed. Remediation by biological, physical and chemical methods has been reviewed critically. A physical process like adsorption is cost-effective, but can’t degrade dyes. Biological methods were considered to be ecofriendly and cost-effective. Microbiological degradation of dyes is cost-effective, eco-friendly and alternative to the chemical reduction. Besides, certain enzymes especially horseradish peroxidase are used as versatile catalysts in a number of industrial processes. Moreover, this document has been prepared by gathering recent research works related to the dyes and microbial pollution elimination from water sources by using heterogeneous photocatalysts, metal nanoparticles catalysts, metal oxides and enzymes.

The paper addresses the topic of nature-based solutions applied in the architectural and urban design. These ideas are analyzed in the context of the opportunities they create for the humanity in terms of the sustainable growth and environmental protection. Nature-based solutions are inherently taken from nature. The first part of the paper presents their tremendous potential to be energy and resource-efficient, and resilient to change. In the second part of the research particular concepts driven from nature (copied form nature or inspired by nature) proposed for the buildings and cities are described and evaluated. The author discusses their functional usefulness, spatial appropriateness, adaptation to local conditions, end-user comfort, environmental benefits and the possibility of duplication. Nature-based solutions applied in urban planning can make cities more climate resilient and contribute to ecosystems restoration. The paper describes how sustainable urbanization can stimulate economic growth, make cities more attractive and enhance well-being of the inhabitants. It is also explained how particular buildings can benefit from the concepts driven from nature e.g. by increasing their energy efficiency and performance in terms of raw material consumption. In purpose to properly response to the climate challenge, humanity has to establish a new kind of partnership with nature. Using nature-based solutions should be considered as an important part of this approach. The concepts presented in this paper show some of the most promising options, such as integration of living systems with built systems and innovative combinations of soft and hard engineering. In conclusion some of the most promising nature-based solutions for climate resilient buildings and cities are indicated

In textile industries, spinning sector plays a vital role because this sector produces the main raw material for the textile industries which is known as yarn. So for getting good qualities garments, it is needed to ensure the good qualities yarn. There are many things which are re-sponsible for producing good qualities yarn. Among these spindle speed is an important thing. One must have to change the spindle speed, when he changes the count. As every count has a particular spindle speed in which the production shows maximum production efficiency. Here we used five most commonly used yarn counts in the maximum factories. The counts are 15 Ne, 20 Ne, 25 Ne, 30 Ne and 40 Ne. We analyzed these counts with different speed and found that every count showed maximum efficiency at a particular spindle speed. The out-come of this paper is applicable in all types of ring frame machine , especially for producing single carded and combed yarn.
