Why Is Sewage Management So Important?

The proper collection and disposal of this sewage waste is essential for the community and also for the surroundings. For this purpose, sewage management systems are of great significance. Installing a sewage management system therefore has several advantages for the community which are listed as follows:

1.    The most important advantage of installing a sewage management system is that it ensures proper hygiene and sanitation. The waste that is carried in the sewage is a breeding ground for toxins, diseases and microbes and if it is allowed to go unmanaged and untreated, then it can lead to disease outbreaks such as cholera, diarrhoea, etc. in the nearby human populations as well as adversely affect other living organisms.

2.    The installation of a sewage waste management system is also important to prevent pollution of the water bodies. Since the sewage is discharged into the environment, if it is not treated or improperly treated, it can lead to the pollution of the water table, which in turn can lead to afflictions for the human population consuming the water.

3.    For the protection of the aquatic ecosystem too, sewage management acquires increasing importance. If too much of the organic waste is discharged into the water, it can increase the oxygen levels, which in turn can disrupt the balance of the aquatic flora and fauna, leading to its depletion. Proper sewage waste management can ensure that the organic waste is properly treated before its discharge into water bodies.

4.    The sewage generated from the system can be used to create fertilizer. Given the increasing demand for organically grown produce nowadays, the sewage sludge can serve as a useful substitute, enriching the soil. This process is also useful as not only is this a sustainable sewage system, but it also prevents the discharge of the effluents into the sea.

5.    The sewage waste generated from the sewage treatment system can also be used to generate energy, either in the form of gas which is used as biofuel or in the form of electricity. Biofuel is being increasingly used across industries, particularly in aviation, to offset the carbon footprint and provide a more environment friendly solution to the high demand for fuel.
