It's very important to teach our children how to look after the environment
. When we are no longer around they will have to take care of the planet by themselves and in the age we all have a tendency to not reuse things, whatever it may be. After years and years of hammering the message into peoples heads we are finally starting to recycle tin cans, plastic bottles, glass, paper and cardboard in our daily lives but we now have to think further and try to reuse what we can. If we don't reuse things not only do we have to find room in landfills etc for the items we no longer use but we also have to use natural resources and materials to create new ones which isn't good for the environment.
My article today will explain to you our wastewater is one of those things which if done properly we can reuse again and again. I hope you find this article informative and useful.
Sewage treatment or sometimes known as domestic wastewater treatment is how we can reuse wastewater. This is the process of removing contaminants from the waste, which leaves your homes. This water will leave in from toilets, sinks, showers etc. The water goes through chemical and biological processes to remove what's needed from the water to allow it to be reused again. By the end of the process the waste should be divided into to liquids which is a environmentally safe fluid waste stream and a sludge (which is the nasty stuff) which can then still be used by farmers and the like to fertilize their soil. You wouldn't believe it but the environmentally safe water can actually be converted into drinking water with such scientific equipment these days.
Sewage collection can be from mains drains, which run through, built up areas and cities where all the wastewater from the houses collects together to form one big bulk. Other than that sewage collection can be from emptying septic tanks. Emptying septic tanks normally takes place in rural areas where they're not connected to mains drains.
