WASTE WATER AND IT REUSESHARAD SHAKYA, GAURAV SHRAMA. gauravgargsya@gmail.com RAJA BALWANT SINGH ENGENEERING TECHNICAL, CAMPUS (AGRA).

ABSTRACTWastewater can be defined as the flow of used water discharged from domestic,businesses, Industries, commercial activities and institutions which is directed to treatment plants by a carefully designed and engineered network of pipes. This wastewater is further categorized and defined according to its sources of origin. The term domestic wastewater refers to flows discharged principally from residential sources generated by such activities as food preparation, laundry, cleaning and personal hygiene.
There are numerous processes that can be used to clean up wastewaters depending on the type and extent of contamination. There are two basic approaches: to use the waste in the water as a resource (such as constructed wetlands) or strictly as a pollution (such as the majority of today's treatment plants). Most wastewater is treated in industrial-scale energy intensive wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) which include physical, chemical and biological treatment processes. However, the use of septic tanks and other On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF) is widespread in rural areas, serving up to one quarter of the homes in the U.S. The most important aerobic treatment system is the activated sludge process, based on the maintenance and recirculation of a complex biomass composed by microorganisms able to absorb and adsorb the organic matter carried in the wastewater.

Wastewater is used water. It includes substances such as human waste, food scraps, oils, soaps and chemicals. In homes, this includes water from sinks, showers, bathtubs, toilets, washing machines and dishwashers. Businesses and industries also contribute their share of used water that must be cleaned.
