The present research consists of design conceptions of Integrated Treatment Plant (ITP) and its applications from Civil Engineering point of view. ITP was an innovative concept for Irrigation Department which was yet to be established/recognised in Water Resource Engineering. As per the land consumption, the construction of Water Treatment Plant (WTP) for large scale supply demands huge sum of space/land and capital and if Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) would be existing will supplement into it. The present consequence alarms the unavailability/scarcity of land with limited investment and this instigated to introduce a newfangled concept of ITP whose generalised objective was to serve the principle of both WTP and WWTP with respect to economy and improved efficiency to promote water and waste water management. The design of the ITP was based on the case study of the village Harkhi Pipra, Bihar, India. The objective was to place several units of ITP along the bank of river Ganga in order to prevent the direct disposal of the wastes in to the river. As the concerned village, did not had such units for treatment of the water and wastewater, in order to overcome this challenge, the ITP was designed as a preliminary solution for cleaning Ganga.
