What types of wastewater are not in the category of industrial effluents?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the different types of wastewater that are categorized separately from industrial effluents. It seeks to identify which wastewaters do not fall under the industrial category, possibly focusing on domestic or agricultural sources.
Answer
Domestic wastewater and stormwater.
Domestic wastewater and stormwater are not classified as industrial effluents.
Answer for screen readers
Domestic wastewater and stormwater are not classified as industrial effluents.
More Information
Wastewater is generally classified into three categories: domestic, industrial, and stormwater. Industrial effluents are specific to industrial processes, so domestic and stormwater—originating from homes and rainfall respectively—are not included in this category.
Tips
A common mistake is considering commercial wastewater as separate from industrial wastewater, but generally it is included under the broad category of industrial wastewater.
