The flow chart below shows the wastes generated in a community
(Both Town and Rural).

 In Public Health Engineering II (PHE II) you covered sewage collection,


conveyance to a central treatment plant, different methods of treating the same
and disposal.
 This is the conventional way of safely handling sewage (Conventional
Sewerage System).
 It is not possible to have conventional sewerage systems in all towns and rural
areas.

It is for this reason, alternative forms of sanitation to serve the remaining areas.
 The unserved areas are usually individual households or small communities.
 Alternative forms of sanitation will be covered in this Unit (PHE III).
 In PHE II, Sludge which is a byproduct of sewage treatment was not covered.
Sludge treatment and disposal will be covered in this unit.
 Sewage is liquid wastes generated in a community
 In addition, solid and gaseous wastes are also generated.
 If solid waste is not properly handled and safely disposed – it can pose a
public health problem and environmental pollution.
 Solid waste Management will be covered in this Unit.
 Other topics which will be covered in this Unit include industrial
wastewater, adsorption isotherms and reuse of sewage and industrial
effluents.
