C. Community Behavior in Disposing of Domestic Wastewater
Attitude is an individual consciousness of society that determines real actions in everyday life. The habits related to domestic wastewater management are evident from how respondents manage and dispose of their wastewater into the environment. The investigation result shows that in Kampung Makassar Timur, most respondents (78%) agreed to dispose of their domestic wastewater into the sea, while 22% disagreed. In contrast, in the Sangadji Utara village, most respondents (85%) did not agree to dispose of their domestic wastewater into the sea and only 15% agreed with this attitude.
The reason of respondents on both of study sites to dispose of their wastewater into the sea are;(1) There is no of drainage channel used to dispose of household wastewater except to sea; (2) fast and easy, (3) has become a community habit, and (4) there is no available land for managing household wastewater. While the respondents who do not agree to give reasons; (1) can pollute the environment, (2) can cause disease and odor, and (3) waste

The fact indicates that the number of respondents who agree to dispose of domestic wastewater into the sea are generally educated at the end of junior high and high school. Although others also feel compelled to dispose of their domestic waste into the sea due to circumstances that require them to do it.
Overall, from this analysis indicates that the level of education gives a good influence on the attitude of the respondents but still less influence on the actions of respondents in disposing of domestic waste water into the environment. The facts in the field stated that the respondent's actions in disposing of domestic wastewater have influenced by knowledge and attitude and also the availability of the drainage system in his
In this image, a sewage worker is seen cleaning the drainage system, with his bear hands, without the use of either any equipment’s or protection. On the first glace, the image depicts the idea of health risk, because the man is exposed to such contaminants, which for him is work. He is looking up from a dirty drain, covered in filth, which shows that he is clearly used as the subject of this image, whom we are engaged to more as he is making eye contact with its viewers. This picture only includes one person into the frame, as the other man’s face isn’t available to see in this picture, which is man that is holding the bucket. Holding a bucket either emphasise the idea that he is helping the sewage worker, either to get the dirt out or to put the dirt in the drainage system.
Harmfull Effects of Ocean dumping include animals in danger with trash in their habitat, as well as contamination of public waters.
In this piece, similarities and differences between two authors’ point of view on the topic of safe drinking water will be analyzed. The two texts, both provide information about water pollution. The authors of For the World’s Poor, Drinking Water Can Kill and After Pollution in Flint, Some Find Tap Water’s Benefits Hard to Swallow have similar and different point of view about the topic clean drinking water.
The modern water facilities provide a convenient way to get water, people using tap water every day, but really few people took tap water’s safety seriously. Group of people believes tap water is safe and able to drink directly. Most of the watering company claims that their water is safe to drink, the government also highly attended the water quality in the cities, so they think there is nothing should be worrying about. However, some people claim that tap water might be polluted, tap water should be reprocessed before drink. The quality of tap water is uneven around the world, using contaminated tap water would cause illness and diseases.
Our oceans take a large beating every day by the extremely large amount of pollution humans produce. Our society easily dumps their waste into the oceans to dispose of the excessive amount of garbage, sewage, and chemicals, but this small and simple solution is creating an even bigger problem. The way humans dispose of their wastes is causing the death of our beloved marine life. Not only are we killing off our animals, our food source, and our resources, we are also minimizing our usable water. By having a better understanding of the problem on the severe dumping, it will be easier to find ways to help minimize the pollution that is going into the ocean.
Growing up in a developing country like Nigeria, I lived in a community where people of different social classes could live together in the same region or community. As a result, the residents of my community had varying perspectives on the priority of having a clean and healthy environment. I observed that the more educated people were more conserved for the wellbeing of the environment and where willing to pay the price for having a sanitary community. Because of the difference in opinions and environmental health expectations, many issues came up in my community. To address these issues, the community held a monthly meeting to discuss how to maintain a reasonably clean environment and give updates on the standard of our environmental
During the summer and winter, the wastewater treatment plant in Alfred has to bring water to the facility if there is not enough flow into the system so bacteria can continue to grow during secondary treatment. The best time to work at the treatment plant is when flow is at a maximum during the fall and spring when college is in session. However, many pollutants are not removed from wastewater by treatment or by the environment. The most effective way to ensure everyone in the Village of Alfred is receiving clean potable water is to not pollute in the first place. Because we live in a materialistic world, another way to improve water quality is by increasing wastewater treatment plant efficiency by conserving water. Simply by reducing water use, life expectancy of treatment systems increases, prevent system failures, and minimize system costs, potentially saving hundreds of dollars. Some ways Alfred State College can reduce water use around campus
Waste water treatment plants are essential to communities of all sizes and must work efficiently. Waste water treatment plant primary priority and responsibility is the treatment of incoming sewage water by the removal of biological and chemical wastes so it can be treated and recycled for future use. There are many government agencies and standards set forth to govern and observe the successful treatment of sewage such as: the Department of Environmental Quality, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System and the Clean Water Act of 1972. Compliance and constant monitoring of the treatment plant’s operations are important; as they protect the surrounding community. A spill or backflow of sewage due to a complete system malfunction could potentially be detrimental to the environment and local community. A precise system, of which must be compliant according to government standards, is critical to maintain low levels of wastes that are returned to neighboring water systems after treatment.
The reason why I chose this topic was because I don’t like seeing trash in the oceans, lakes or ponds just anything. It’s annoying how people don’t know how to take care for stuff. Especially that other people see it not just one or two people but thousands of people see it. When people see that there’s trash all around the area there not going to want to go back to that ocean or that part that they went to because they see that it’s all trashy there and it’s not healthy for humans and the ocean. I just don’t like seeing trash anywhere just all over the place I think it’s gross. So I want to talk about this because I don’t like it and I think it’s a good subject to talk about.
The outcome of this project is to ensure all residents have clean water. Therefore the practice of ensuring environmentally friendly is crucial here. When the project is being carried out, the impacts to the lifestyle of locals in Sandikhola should be keep to as minimum as possible. It is important that it will not add any extra pollutions to the environment especially the water sources.
Safe water and sanitation as a basic human right, household water treatment, rainwater harvesting ... and reports from Kyoto, Madagascar, Uzbekistan, Guinea and other countries around the world.
The consumption of contaminated water can be dangerous for health reasons and several people have passed away from these water-borne diseases. Some of these diseases include Cholera, Typhoid, Dysentery, Giardiasis, and Malaria. These unfortunate diseases are currently the cause of numerous deaths, especially in small children. The availability of clean water can prevent many problems in low-income communities. The available resources for clean water are very rare, so these water sources need to pass through a process of water sanitation in order to just be sustainable to drink, “The world’s surface is made up of approximately 80% water, which is an indestructible substance.
Solid waste pollution will always be an issue as long as human population increases everyday .solid waste is not only cause by household only, the industries as well have hand on environment pollution. And due to improper disposal system solid waste end up on the road. Solid waste have a huge effect on human life and can also cause death in animals as well, as people clean their houses everyday litter their trash everywhere this problem will not stop. But the most dangerous waste are those coming from the industries, because those waste end up in stream, rivers where it poisonous and have bad impact on the marine life. Industrial waste are the source of toxic metal and hazardous waste that effect soil characteristic and productivity of soil when dumped in ground. And the problem lies where some of the waste do not decompose. These solid waste are hazardous, Pesticides poisonous which is not health and life threatening to both humans and animals. People are very much aware of recycling to reduce pollution yet they still fail in doing so. Silt build in freshwater water ecosystems, caused by the unnecessarily agricultural activities smothers aquatic organisms. To reduce solid waste they should be recycled in such a way that do not harm the both the environment, water, air and human health. There are animals such as
Domestic households and industrial and agricultural practices often produce wastewater that can cause rivers and lakes to become polluted. This is typically called sewage and wastewater pollution.

The problem with contaminated beaches will soon take effect on everyone. The main causes that pollution creates in the beaches are from heavy rainfall, natural disasters, and plant malfunctions. Government agencies cannot control the weather, but they can control what goes into the water. In the United States, the number one reason why beaches are closed down are due to contamination in the water that may be harmful and are left untreated. The arising problem with the beach is that the industries are producing toxic chemicals and tossing the unwanted waste into the ocean. Also, the public are recklessly throwing their trash out into the streets. A prime example to demonstrate this is, if someone was trying to throw a bottle into a street trashcan but missed, he/she is unlikely to pick up after himself/herself if no one was around to see it. This scenario causes pollution to the sidewalks. When mother nature disasters occur, these waste products will end up in the storm drains and into the sewage system. The overflow of debri from the cities can flow into the rivers and if not preserved, it can flow into the ocean. The rivers will then carry these human caused waste into t...
