MUNICIPAL WATER AND WASTEWATER SECTOR IN GEORGIA

This paper presents the background analyses for the Georgia.  The world’s eight billion people create a lot of wastewaters — another word for sewage — enough that the natural water purification process is insufficient on its own to remove the harmful chemicals that cause disease in not just people but flora, fish and wildlife [5].

Wastewater treatment removes contaminants and suspended solids from wastewater; this treated, water can then be dispatched back into the ecosystem free from man-made contaminants. Untreated wastewater poses significant health risks, accounting for 1.7 million deaths annually —over 90 percent of those in developing nations [1].
