Solution

Oxidation ponds involve biological oxidation of sewage.

Explanation:

Oxidation ponds are biological treatment systems where microorganisms (bacteria and algae) decompose organic matter present in sewage. The process is aerobic, meaning it uses oxygen to oxidize organic waste materials into stable, harmless end products like carbon dioxide, water, and nitrates.
