Solution

Wastewater:

  1. Wastewater is water that has been used for a variety of human activities and has become contaminated.
  2. Many suspended pollutants can be found in wastewater.
  3. Water is pumped through a grit and sand removal tank, where sand, grit, pebbles, and other particles settle to the bottom and are removed.
  4. Water is then allowed to enter a tank, where sludge (faeces) settles at the bottom and is scraped away.
