3. What is wastewater
• Wastewater is water that has been used and must be treated before it is
released into another body of water, so that it does not cause further
pollution of water sources. Wastewater comes from a variety of sources.
Everything that you flush down your toilet or rinse down the drain is
wastewater. Rainwater and runoff, along with various pollutants, go down
street gutters and eventually end up at a wastewater treatment facility.
Wastewater can also come from agricultural and industrial sources. Some
wastewaters are more difficult to treat than others; for example, industrial
wastewater can be difficult to treat, whereas domestic wastewater is
relatively easy to treat.
4. The Need for Wastewater Treatment
• Wastewater treatment is needed so that we can use our rivers and streams for
fishing, swimming and drinking water. For the first half of the 20th century,
pollution in the Nation’s urban waterways resulted in frequent occurrences of low
dissolved oxygen, fish kills, algal blooms and bacterial contamination. Early
efforts in water pollution control prevented human waste from reaching water
supplies or reduced floating debris that obstructed shipping. Pollution problems
and their control were primarily local, not national, concerns. Since then,
population and industrial growth have increased demands on our natural resources,
altering the situation dramatically. Progress in abating pollution has barely kept
ahead of population growth, changes in industrial processes, technological
developments, changes in land use, business innovations, and many other factors.

5. Pollutants in waste water
• Oxygen-Demanding Substances
• Pathogens
• Nutrients
• Inorganic and Synthetic Organic Chemicals
• Thermal
10. You Can Do To Prevent Water Waste
• Save Water in the Bathroom
Check your toilets for leaks
• Stop using the toilet as an ashtray or waste basket
• Put plastic bottles in your toilet tank - Put an inch of sand or pebbles inside each of two
plastic bottles, fill them with water, and put them in your toilet tank, safely away from
operating mechanisms. The bottles may displace and save 10 or more gallons of water a
day.
• Take shorter showers
• Install water-saving shower heads or flow restricters
• Take baths - use only a partially-filled tub
• Turn off water after you wet your toothbrush
• Rinse your razor in the sink by filling the sink with a few inches of warm water
• Check faucets and pipes for leaks
• Save Water in the Kitchen and Laundry
Use your automatic dishwasher only for full loads
• Use your automatic washing machine only for full loads
• If you wash dishes by hand, don't leave the water running for rinsing
• Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables
• Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator - running tap water to cool it off for
drinking is wasteful
• Check faucets and pipes for leaks
11. • Don't let the faucet run while you clean vegetables
• Keep a bottle of drinking water in the refrigerator - running tap
water to cool it off for drinking is wasteful
• Check faucets and pipes for leaks
• Save Water Outside
Water your lawn only when it needs it
• Deep soak your lawn - water long enough for the moisture to soak
down to the roots
• Water during the cool parts of the day - early morning is generally
better than dusk since it helps prevent the growth of fungus
• Don't water the gutter - position sprinklers so water doesn't land on
paved areas
• Plant drought-resistant trees and plants that need less watering
• Put a layer of mulch around trees and plants
• Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks
• Don't run the hose while you wash your car
• Tell your children not to play with the hose and sprinklers
• Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, faucets, and couplings
