Question
Chapter 25.2, Problem 5AYP
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The primary and secondary phases of sewage treatment.
Concept introduction:
In cities, drinking water requires treatment before being sent to consumers. In a treatment plant, the reservoir water is filtered, disinfected, and supplied for use. To make the disposed of sewage water absolutely devoid of toxins before being released into water bodies, it is passed through three main stages of treatment- primary, secondary, and tertiary phases. Use of microbes is an important part of the complete treatment of water.
