"Once returned to the water cycle, the effluent creates an acceptable impact on the environment or is reused for various purposes (called water reclamation)."
The collection, treatment, and disposal of wastewater to prevent environmental pollution and protect public health.
Wastewater treatment processes: Includes the different stages involved in wastewater treatment, such as pre-treatment, primary treatment, secondary treatment, and tertiary treatment.
Design and operation of treatment plants: This involves the design and operation of different types of wastewater treatment plants, such as activated sludge plants, trickling filter plants, and anaerobic digestion.
Wastewater reuse: This involves the reuse of treated wastewater for various purposes such as irrigation, industrial processes, and groundwater recharge.
Sludge management: This includes the treatment and disposal of wastewater sludge generated during the treatment process.
Control of water pollution: This involves measures for controlling the pollution of surface and groundwater sources, including regulations, monitoring, and enforcement.
Water quality monitoring: This includes the various methods used to monitor water quality, including physical, chemical, and biological methods.
Water conservation: Practices for reducing water use in households, industries, and businesses, leading to reduced wastewater production.
Sustainable wastewater management: Principles and strategies for managing wastewater in a sustainable way, taking into account environmental, social, and economic dimensions.
Water treatment technologies: This involves the various technologies used for treating both wastewater and drinking water, including membrane filtration, disinfection, and desalination.
Public health aspects of wastewater management: This includes the importance of proper sanitation and wastewater management for public health and disease prevention.
Conventional Wastewater Treatment: The process of removing pollutants from wastewater using physical, chemical, and biological processes.
Non-Conventional Wastewater Treatment: A process that deviates from traditional treatment methods and uses emerging technologies such as membrane filtration, reverse osmosis, and advanced oxidation.
Sewerage System: The collection of pipes, pumps, and other infrastructure that carries wastewater from homes and businesses to treatment plants or disposal systems.
Onsite Wastewater Treatment: A decentralized system that treats wastewater on-site, typically used in rural or remote areas.
Greywater Management: The collection and treatment of greywater (water from household activities such as dishwashing and laundry) for reuse in non-potable applications.
Stormwater Management: The management of rainwater and runoff from urban areas to mitigate flooding, erosion, and pollution.
Sustainable Wastewater Management: A holistic approach to managing wastewater that considers environmental, social, and economic impacts.
Reuse and Recycling: The process of treating wastewater to a safe and usable form, such as irrigation or industrial use.
Sludge Management: The treatment and disposal of the by-product of wastewater treatment, including biosolids, fats, oils, and grease.
Industrial Wastewater Treatment: The treatment of wastewater produced by industrial processes to remove pollutants prior to discharge.
"The treatment process takes place in a wastewater treatment plant."
"There are several kinds of wastewater which are treated at the appropriate type of wastewater treatment plant."
"For domestic wastewater (also called municipal wastewater or sewage), the treatment plant is called a Sewage Treatment."
"Treatment either takes place in a separate Industrial wastewater treatment, or in a sewage treatment plant (usually after some form of pre-treatment)."
"Further types of wastewater treatment plants include Agricultural wastewater treatment and leachate treatment plants."
"Processes commonly used in wastewater treatment include phase separation (such as sedimentation), biological and chemical processes (such as oxidation) or polishing."
"The main by-product from wastewater treatment plants is a type of sludge that is usually treated in the same or another wastewater treatment plant."
"Biogas can be another by-product if anaerobic treatment processes are used."
"Treated wastewater can be reused as reclaimed water."
"The main purpose of wastewater treatment is for the treated wastewater to be able to be disposed or reused safely."
"Before it is treated, the options for disposal or reuse must be considered so the correct treatment process is used on the wastewater."
"With a capacity to treat five million sewage per day, the STP marks a significant step towards addressing the country's wastewater management challenges."
"located in the Khilgaon area of the city."
"The largest single sewage treatment plant (STP) in South Asia"
"...towards addressing the country's wastewater management challenges."
"The term "wastewater treatment" is often used to mean "sewage treatment"."
"Or is reused for various purposes (called water reclamation)."
"Agricultural wastewater treatment"
"leachate treatment plants"
