Question

Your town is planning on implementing a new wastewater reclamation plant (a connected wastewater plant and water treatment plant). Explain to your peers (your community) why this would be a good idea. Fully explain your answer. Utilize about 5 sentences to explain yourself.

Answer 1

A wastewater relamation plant is beneficial for many reasons. The purpose of this plant is to clean sewage and water and return it to environment. The water is cleaned by:

• Removing the solids

• Removing the pollutants

• Breakage of organic matter

• Restore of O2..

Thanks to this plant waste water can be reused (recycled), usually for non-drinking purpose. Benefits also include: increase of water availability, reduced energy consumption, increased agricultural production..

Answer 2

The reasons why the wastewater reclamation plant will be implemented are the well-being of the environment, as well as making the water suitable for usage for the people. By installing the plant, the wastewater will be cleaned in most part. That will mean that the water can be returned to the nature without it causing damage to it and polluting it, but instead contributing to its well-being and proper functioning. Also, part of the water will be used for irrigation, as flushing water in the toilets, for doing laundry, which will result in preserving the freshwater reserves while still having a source of water for certain needs. The fact that the water will be cleaned, also means that the local water bodies will be safe to use for recreation, as they will not be polluted.
