Waste water is any water that has been adversely affected in quality by anthropogenic influence. Our objective at Land & Water is to reduce and manage waste water as much as possible.
Waste water comprises liquid waste discharged by domestic residences, commercial properties, industry, and/or agriculture and can encompass a wide range of potential contaminants and concentrations. In the most common usage, it refers to the municipal waste water that contains a broad spectrum of contaminants resulting from the mixing of waste waters from different sources.
Sewage is correctly the subset of waste water that is contaminated with faeces or urine, but is often used to mean any waste water. “Sewage” includes domestic, municipal, or industrial liquid waste products disposed of, usually via a pipe or sewer or similar structure, sometimes in a cesspool emptier.
The physical infrastructure, including pipes, pumps, screens, channels etc. used to convey sewage from its origin to the point of eventual treatment or disposal is termed sewerage.
