Show transcript
There are many sources of wastewater and each introduces different types of contaminants. There are sequential steps involved in making wastewater safe before disposal into the environment. Multiple types of waste need to be removed from different kinds of wastewater. Releasing untreated wastewater into the environment could impact an ecosystem's health. Sludge can be anaerobically treated, producing materials that can be used as a fertiliser or fuel.
