Official definition

Wastewater is water altered by domestic, commercial, agricultural or other use in its properties and the effluent (waste water), and the precipitates, draining and collected water (rain water) from built-up or paved areas.

As as the waste water discharged from facilities for treatment, storage and dumping of wastes and fluids are collected.

Practical options

• More problem-oriented design and planning

• More problem-oriented building

• More problem-oriented operating International Conference in Florence, 5-7 June, 2013 „Microbielly induced corrosion in sewage systems - what can we do in practice?“ Dipl.-Ing. Dieter Weismann, awa.consult and Dr. rer. nat Jan Küver, MPA Bremen

Realistic outlook

• negative demografic development • no new industry location • cost reduction in private and industrial sector • exaggerated ideas for environmental protection

this means: • sewage will decrease and will contain less water • risk potential will rise • „compensating measures“ required and more often • costs for „accompanying measures“ will rise • numbers of paying customers will decrease • specific costs will increase
