The diagram illustrates how sewage

water

is recycled. It can be seen that the

process

comprises 3 main stages, beginning with wastewater being treated in a sewage plant and finishing with purified

water

for domestic use. In the first stage, household wastewater from a range of uses

such

as restrooms, baths and sinks is released into sewers that lead to a sewage plant.

Then

, it will be contained in tanks before solid waste is separated to create fertilizer. In the next stage, in order to get rid of remaining organisms, bacteria that are able to digest them will be added to the

water

.

Subsequently

, a small volume of treated

water

is discharged into rivers.

At the end

of the

process

, the

water

is transferred to a purification facility where it undergoes the purification

process

. Some extra

water

will be pumped in during the

process

.

Finally

, when the

water

is clean enough for consumption, it will be supplied to households via

water

mains to be used again.
