Answer:
<u>Waste water is any water that is affected by human use and is combination of all domestic, industrial and agricultural stuff</u>s.
Explanation:
- It can be also called as the stormwater or surface runoff, or sewer infiltration. This type of water can include the domestic wastes involved in households like toilet flushes, dishwashers, washing machines, and detergents. This type of water in developing countries if often treated with septic tanks, drain fields, and onsite sewage systems.
- Chemical or physical pollutants include heavy metals, organic and inorganic soluble matter such as urea, gases as hydrogen sulfide, various oxides and toxins of pesticides and methane.
- Use of micropollutants like plastics, and thermal pollutants like heat energies derived from the power station and industrial manufactures. Certain biological sources of pollutants like Bacteria, Virus, and Protozoa, and parasites like organisms.
- It can include parasitic like insects, arthropods, and others that reduce the biological oxygen capacity of the freshwater stream and decline in the fish population due to the nutrification of water and contaminants due to the wastewaters.
Answer:
When discussing drought, one must have an understanding of aridity and the difference between the two. Aridity is defined, in meteorology and climatology, as "the degree to which a climate lacks effective, life-promoting moisture" (Glossary of Meteorology, American Meteorological Society). Drought is "a period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently long enough to cause a serious hydrological imbalance". Aridity is measured by comparing long-term average water supply (precipitation) to long-term average water demand (evapotranspiration). If demand is greater than supply, on average, then the climate is arid. Drought refers to the moisture balance that happens on a month-to-month (or more frequent) basis. If the water supply is less than water demand for a given month, then that month is abnormally dry; if there is a serious hydrological impact, then a drought is occurring that month. Aridity is permanent, while drought is temporary.
