Natural Methods of Wastewater Disposal

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about natural methods of wastewater disposal which are biological treatment systems that require no or very little electrical energy; instead, they rely on entirely natural factors such as sunlight, temperature, filtration, adsorption, sedimentation, biodegradation, etc., to treat wastewater or fecal sludge.
