Water and sewage treatment

Water and sewage treatment involve processes that clean water for safe use and dispose of waste responsibly. Water treatment removes harmful contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and sediments, through steps like filtration, chemical addition, and disinfection, ensuring water is safe to drink and use. Sewage treatment processes solid waste, organic matter, and pollutants through preliminary screening, biological treatment, and sedimentation, reducing environmental impact. The treated water, often called effluent, is released back into the environment, while sludge is processed for safe disposal or reuse. These systems protect public health and preserve ecosystems by efficiently managing water resources and waste.
