  1. After we use it goes to sewage treatment centres, then after getting treated it is left to rivers...


  2. It goes the the sewage treatment plant where the solids are removed and the liquids are chemically cleaned and filtered. Then it is tested and if proven safe, released back into the environment.

  3. That depends. If you  are on a septic system, the water slowly trickles down to join the groundwater, then flows downhill until it reaches a body of surface water.

    If your house is sewered, the water flows to the wastewater treatment plant. Here, it gets at least primary treatment, removal of the big pieces (screening, settling, skimming). Most plants also give secondary treatment, allowing the material to be digested by bacteria. A few plants include tertiary treatment, which removes the nutrients from the water. After treatment, the water is discharged to a body of surface water.

  4. It flows through a system of pipes to a sewage treatment plant. At the sewage plant inorganic material (mostly plastic) is separated out and disposed of. The water and material it is carrying then goes into settling pools where solids settle out. Bacteria work on breaking down organics in the water and then it goes through a series of filters. Before it is released back to the environment it may have some chemicals added to it and it is tested to see if it meets standards.

  5. it goes to the water treatment plant than it goes into the rivers and lakes   well raw sewage ..
