Why would anybody care
this is water that comes from a river or a lake and goes through a treatment plant (this plant has all the chemicals and machinery) then once it is treated it then flows into people's home through the main pipes in the city.
depends how close the sewage treatment center is to the lake.
One reason a lake may receive more water from sewage than from natural falling rainwater may be that there are far more sewage outlets due to an urban setting. Another may be that the lake is near a water treatment plant and a large metropolitan area.
In a water treatment plant, the place your drinking water comes from, they use a spillover to areate the water. After the water is purified in the treatment plant it goes into a large lake with a small waterfall or spillover that allows the air to mix with the water which gives it a better taste.
Fish.Also it dependes on where the lake is. water, animal life, plant life
The average temperature of Lake Ontario is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature is taken at the Monroe county water treatment plant every day.
This is called a waterspout
They pump in raw untreated water from a well, lake or river. Remove the odor and bad taste by aeration (a natural process) remove setable solids (another natural process), disinfect the water, adjust the PH of the water, filter the water (another natural process), then pump it out for your use.
The temperature for a lake depends on its location, depth, size, and season. For a more accurate answer, it would be best to designate which lake you are referring to, or at least a general location.
screens across the end of the pipe keep out fish, garbage, and other debris as water is drawn in
If poisonous chemicals were dumped into a lake that a town draws its water supply from, it could contaminate the water and pose serious health risks to the residents. Drinking contaminated water can lead to various health issues such as gastrointestinal problems, organ damage, and even long-term health effects. It may also harm aquatic life and disrupt the ecosystem of the lake.
They transport "grey water" (runoff, toilet, sink, washing machine, etc) to a water treatment plant to be processed, and in turn returned to the environment (usually to a river, lake, etc). If we didn't have sewers, we'd be sick. A lot. All the time.
