sewage  

Definición

  • Sewage comprises the wastewaters deliberately contained, collected, and evacuated by a community, including both household and industrial wastes as well as surface runoff. There are many ways to dispose of or utilize human excreta, but in a real sense, human waste does not become “sewage” until collected by some type of sanitary technology such as a latrine or sewer, however simple.
