Pathogens or disease-causing organisms are
present in sewage. These need to be got rid of
before the sewage can be released back into the
environment. The goal is to reduce or remove
organic matter, solids, nutrients, disease-causing
organisms and other pollutants from the
wastewater.

∙ 14y agoThough 80% of the earth's surface is covered with water, only 1% of it is fresh water. It's only 1% that we can use for drinking, irrigating, washing etc. So, it's very important that we conserve water. In fact fresh water levels in many parts of the world have dropped alarmingly. For instance if you go to http://www.bewaterwise.com/ you will see a water gauge indicating how much the water level has dropped since July 2006 in Southern California. We need to make a conscious effort to stop the water level dropping any further. Given below is a link to some simple water conservation tips. Check them out and also spread the word around.
Without water conservation, we will eventually run out of water. And we all need water to survvive. Humans, plants and animals alike all need water to live.

What is a stormwater system?
Stormwater starts off clean. Stormwater flows DIRECTLY into our rivers, lakes and streams. It is almost never treated, so everything stormwater collects from the land surface, roadways, sidewalks, parking lots, construction sites, business parks, etc., is carried to gutters, storm drains, canals, and drainageways. It finally ends up in our local rivers and streams -- UNTREATED!
