Short Answer Type Question Solution:
(21) Ans:- (a) An underground pipe which carries away dirty drainage water and waste matter is called a sewer.
(b) Sewerage is an underground network of interconnected pipes that transport or carries the sewage from the place where it is produced to the sewage treatment plant where it is processed.
(22) Ans:- The bar screen removes the large rubbish objects like rags, sticks, cans, plastic bags, napkins, sanitary towels etc.
(23) Ans:- The solid part of sewage is called a sludge.
The sludge is taken out from the bottom of first sedimentation tank and put into a large, closed tank called digester tank. In the digester tank many type of anaerobic bacteria decompose the organic matter present in sludge to produce biogas.
(24) Ans:- Two useful substances are Biogas and Sludge.
The biogas is used as fuel. Sludge is used as Manure.
(25) Ans:- This is because to provide oxygen to activate aerobic bacteria and make them grow rapidly in water.
(26) Ans:- The waste such as solid food remains, used tea leaves, sanitary towels, polythene bags, oils and fats, as well as chemicals such as paints, solvents, medicines etc as they are block the drainage pipe.
(27) Ans:- Oils and Fats should not be released in the drain because this can harden and block the drainage pipes. As well as in an open drain the fats block the soil pores reducing its effectiveness in filtering water.
(28) Ans:- Vermi processing toilet is those type of toilet in where human excreta is treated by earthworms in a pit.
Vermi cakes produced by this type of toilets are a kind of high quality manure which can be added to soil for growing plants.
(29) Ans:- Then the epidemics could break out.
(30) Ans:- (i) We should not scatter rubbish objects such as paper, food wastes, packets, water bottles etc in public places.

The main purpose of this is to reduce the pollutants present in it to such a low level that it may not remain a health hazard for any one.
(33) Ans:- The various steps involved in getting clear water from wastewater are:- (i) Screening (ii) Grit and Sand Removal (iii) First Sedimentation Tank (iv) Aeration Tank (v) Second Sedimentation Tank.
Biogas is extracted during this process.
(34) Ans:- Sanitation means cleans environment which is essential for ours and for our future generation. Poor sanitation create a lot of diseases in our country.
The various ways we can contribution maintaining sanitation at public places are:-
(i) We should not scatter rubbish objects such as paper, food wastes, packets, water bottles etc in public places.

(iii) We should never urinate on the road side.
(35) Ans: – Septic Tank:- is a big, covered, underground tank made of concrete having an inlet pipe at one end and an outlet pipe in other end.
Describe the septic tank based toilet with help of lebelled diagram:- Please check the book.
