Here are some natural methods of wastewater disposal: Constructed wetlands: These systems mimic natural wetlands to treat wastewater. They contain soil, plants, and microorganisms in specially-designed basins to remove pollutants. Biological treatment: This natural process involves bacteria consuming organic contaminants in the wastewater. A filter provides a place for the bacteria to attach to while they "eat" the contamination. Biological wastewater treatment: This natural mechanism uses microorganisms like nematodes to decompose organic matter. The resulting product is easier and safer to dispose of. Activated sludge: This biological method has successfully eliminated detrimental environmental impacts, such as toxicity, persistent organic materials, depletion of oxygen, and formation of algal blooms. Anaerobic digestion: This natural process allows microorganisms to break down organic matter, releasing biogas which is then captured and converted into renewable energy. Topics include: Disposal of Sewage, Pollution Zones in River, Oxygen Sag Curve, & Biological Zones in Lake.
