Résumé
The occurrence of contaminants such as heavy metals in an aqueous environment has become a global concern. In the present study, a bio-filter was designed to eliminate heavy metals from river wastewater contaminated with industrial effluents. Moreover, we analyzed simple tap water, bio-filtered water, and unfiltered river wastewater and measured the concentrations of different heavy metals in the samples, such as cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb), and copper (Cu). The current experiment explored irrigation effects of three water regimes (tap water, bio-filtered water, and wastewater) on two wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties (NARC-2009 and NARC-2011). Results of the present study indicated that wastewater negatively influenced the growth parameters and photosynthetic contents along with a significant increase in oxidative damage in terms of electrolyte leakage (EL) (50 and 61%), hydrogen peroxide (H
