‘Wastewater’

Wastewater originates from mainly two sources: households and industries. An extensive amount of domestic waste and waste from manufacturing processes are generated every day, which contains chemicals, toxic substances, biodegradable materials or organic waste and much more. Other sources include agricultural activities, rain runoff and animal wastes.

Approximately 38,300 million litres of sewage is generated daily in the major cities of India as per a recent report from the UN water activity information system. The number is staggering, isn’t it? If you are thinking from where does such a huge amount of wastewater generate? There are majorly two sources – Industrial waste and Domestic sewage. As both the population of India and Industrial Landscapes is increasing at a phenomenal speed, wastewater volume has also seen an alarming rise.
