Question

What is Sewage ? write some tips on better house keeping practices.​

Answer 1

Sewage: The liquid waste which has water as its largest component; along with various types of impurities; is called sewage.

Better Housekeeping Practices to Maintain Sanitation:

1.Do not throw cooking oil and fat in the drain. This can block the drain. The fat and oil clog the pores in the soil; in open drains. This reduces the filtering capacity of the soil.

2.Do not throw chemicals; like paint, insecticides, medicines, etc. into the drain. They kill the bacteria which otherwise help in cleaning the water.

3.Do not throw used tea leaves, solid food, soft toys or napkins in the drain. They can clog the drain and do not allow oxygen to enter the sewage water. Oxygen is important for the natural process of decomposition.
