wastewater

Wastewater is any water that has been used and contains waste materials, such as human waste, food leftovers, chemicals from cleaning or industrial processes, and other pollutants. It comes from homes, businesses, and industries and is typically directed to treatment facilities where harmful substances are removed. Proper management of wastewater is essential to protect public health and the environment, preventing the spread of disease and contamination of water sources. After treatment, the cleaned water is often safely released back into natural bodies of water or reused for various purposes.
