Water-carried wastes, in either solution or suspension form, that flows in sewage pipes from any house hold, commercial enterprise or an industry is called waste water in general. If it contains mainly human excreta and other organic matter it is called sewage.

The government’s science-technology schemes don’t work towards outcomes, they are more concerned about disbursement of funds

Medical Education Minister Ramachandre Gowda has said that the government would direct the beleaguered Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) to withdraw the closure notice slapped by it on nine government hospitals for lack of permanent effluent treatment plants (ETPs).

Friends, To the best of my knowledge, the storm water drains presently in vogue in Bangalore (and I guess in most other Indian cities) is built on the lines of that existed in Roman cities 2000 years back.
