Essay On H2O Waste Water

H2O waste and H2O supply treatment:

The majority of towns and cities have an underground system of pipes and sewers which transports wastewater to the treatment facilities, but what is wastewater and how do we clean it? Why do we clean it? Wastewater is the water which has been used, polluted and discharged by homes, businesses, industries, and in certain cities rainwater water is included.

This solution of roughly 99.9 percent water (H2O) by weight, and 0.1 percent of dissolved and non-dissolved, suspended solids is transported by the pipe and sewage system to wastewater treatment plants. A facility where the goal is to remove chemicals, harmful bacteria, nutrients, solids and other unwanted substances from the water. The goal of purifying the water to be useful in the society or released into the environment.

The concept of sewage systems date back as the Minoan civilization; as well as the one of Crete and the Romans. All three had constructed an early model of a three-way and underground channels and pumps system, to serve as their sewage system. One system would only be used for clean and drinking water, as the second for human waste and the third for drainage (rain). Modern sewage system, ones which resemble today’s, appeared around the 19th century. It began with the expansion of the storm sewers. They were expanded to accept larger quantities of water as well as to carry wastes to nearby waterways. The concept of municipal sewage treatment was not adopted until the 20th century where the ever-expanding cities pollution showed the government that quality standards were needed to be put in place. Thus changes were needed to be done to clean untreated water.

The way which we currently maintain those standards is with three...

The techniques and the technology used to remove impurities from waste and supply water have greatly evolved. They have increased in efficiency, precision, and some are less environmentally endangering, but they have also increased in scale and in cost. It is concerning that the need of purification has increased on a large scale, but it is a concept which has been present for centuries and one which is vitally important to our society. If waste and supply water are not properly transported and treated there would be many consequences such as disease outbreaks, harmful pollution, poisoning, etc… Thus it is important that each town or city has a good sewage and/or pipe system as well as a functioning waste and supply water treatment plant.
