Define sewage?

Sewage is waste water and excrement that is carried away in sewers and drains. It typically includes household waste water from sinks, showers, toilets, and washing machines, as well as industrial and commercial waste water.

Sewage is the waste matter from human settlements that is transported via a sewer system. It consists primarily of wastewater discharged from toilets, sinks, showers, baths, and other household appliances. In addition, sewage may also contain industrial wastewater, stormwater, and other sources of wastewater.

Sewage can have a significant impact on the environment if it is not properly treated and managed. It can contaminate waterways with bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances, leading to water pollution. Sewage can also pose a health risk to humans who come into contact with it, as it can transmit diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and dysentery.

Proper sewage treatment and management is essential to protect public health and the environment. Sewage treatment plants remove harmful substances from sewage before it is discharged into waterways. These plants use a variety of processes to treat sewage, including physical processes such as filtration and sedimentation, and biological processes such as activated sludge treatment.
