Sweage in all countries mostly (if not all) ends up in the seas.?

Question

Is there not a better way to deal with it whith so much technological advancement?

Answer 1

In most undevoloped countries it does go straight to the sea, eventually. Along with everything else you can imagine. Who would pay for it to be done any other way? For instance Mexico?

Answer 2

Sewage is separated between floaters and sinkers till the water is removed and treated. The solids are used as fertilizer, the floaters dumped in the land fill (instead of being made into biodiesel). We must use all of the compost material we can to rebuild top soil to slow and end desertification. This is just one of the many things we must do because here is what we know:  many of mankind’s advancements cause earth surface to warm, destroy the ozone layer, kill off endanger species, heat cities, and in some way cause more destruction.  Blacktop (roads and parking lots), buildings, air pollution (causes lung and other diseases), deforestation, duststorms (which increase hurricanes and cyclones and cause lung diseases), fires (cause pollution, mud slides, and deforestation), refrigerants (like CFC's), solvents (including benzene destroy the ozone layer raising skin cancer rates) and plastics; cars, airplanes, ships and most electricity production (causes pollution including raised CO2 levels) are human problems we need to fix to keep life on earth sustainable! That is why I founded CoolingEarth.org, a geoengineering web sight. The federal government needs to adopt a pollution surcharge to balance the field and advance new technologies. We must pay the real price of oil (petrochemicals) including global warming, cleanup and for health effects. But with that we must understand we have never seen what is now happening before. CO2 has never lead to temperature change, but temperature change has led to increases in CO2. The models have to be made as we go along with little evidence! The result is:  change is on the way, we just do not know what changes. But again adding a small amount of CO2 to the atmosphere enlarges the earths sun collection causing warming; increase water in the atmosphere and they form clouds cooling earth but causing flooding. Even natural events are warming earth and causing destruction. The sun has an increased magnetic field causing increases in earthquakes (more destruction), volcanoes (wow, great destruction), and sun spots. Lighting produces ozone near the surface (raising air pollution levels). But humans have destroyed half of the wetlands, cut down nearly half of the rain forest, and advance on the earths grasslands while advancing desertification which increases duststorms. The USA Mayor's have taken a stand and I believe are on the right track, we can have control and can have economic growth. With the peak of oil in the 1970’s, the peak of ocean fishing in the 1980’s, humans must stop procrastinating and make real changes to keep earth sustainable including in the energy debate, finance and regulation. The sun is available to produce energy, bring light to buildings and makes most of human’s fresh water. Composting is the answer to desertification. New dams are the answer to fresh water storage, energy and cooling earth by evaporation, we need many small one all over (California needs 100 by 2012 and has not even started).

President Bush has made a choice of energy (ethanol) over food and feeding the starving people around the world; this is a choice China has rejected.

Answer 3

No.  This is not true.

Answer 4

In the USA, the contaminants are removed and the discharge water is typically cleaner than the stream it goes into.  If its NOT clean the polluter is subject to fines and possibly jail.

Answer 5

The attraction of the effort goes and would go, unnoticed.  All you can rely on to gather enthusiaism is pushing through the realization that the loss, though it can pass unseen now, is a steady occurrence and is more relevant than current consideration assumes.

Answer 6

most sewage gets treated in several ways then is returned to the ocean

Answer 7

I think you'll find that most sewage is treated in some way.

Answer 8

I see most answers refer to"OTHER COUNTRIES"

One of the biggest sewers in the world is the Mississippi

River that drains most of the sewage esspecially

industrial into the Gulf of Mexico not out of need but

cause its cheap!!!! One has to look out for Corp.

   Profit you know!!!!
