Primary treatment physically removes large objects, while secondary treatment uses aerobic bacteria to break down organic waste. Tertiary treatment, though not always used due to cost, targets specific wastewater components for removal.

A sanitary municipal landfill consists of a bottom liner (plastic or clay), a storm water collection system, a leachate collection system, a cap, and a methane collection system. However, landfills can contaminate groundwater, cause leachate pollution, and release harmful gases. Solid waste can also be disposed of through incineration, where waste is burned at high temperatures.

This exercise explains sewage composition, the function of manholes and sewerage routes, and the key steps of wastewater treatment - including bar screening, grit removal, sedimentation, aeration, and sludge handling - while highlighting how each stage helps clean and recycle used water.
