 Sewage Disposal - MSN Encarta
Sewage Disposal, or wastewater disposal, various processes involved in the collection, treatment, and sanitary disposal of liquid and water-carried wastes from households and industrial plants.
The issue of sewage disposal assumed increasing importance in the early 1970s as a result of the general concern expressed in the United States and worldwide about the wider problem of pollution of the human environment, the contamination of the atmosphere, rivers, lakes, oceans, and groundwater by domestic, municipal, agricultural, and industrial waste.
At first, disposing of any waste in these sewers was forbidden, but by the 19th century it was recognized that community health could be improved by discharging human waste into the storm sewers for rapid removal.
