उत्तर
Sewage is a collective term for municipal wastewater, which includes both liquid and solid wastes produced in cities and towns and transported via sewers. Chemically, sewage consists of approximately 99% water and 1% solid waste, which may be organic or inorganic in nature. Sewage typically contains bacteria (e.g., coliforms, streptococci, clostridia, lactobacilli), microfungi, protozoa and microalgae.
