What is defined as human excreta and all water-carried waste?

  1. Sharps

  2. Sanitary waste

  3. Sewage

  4. Solid waste

The correct answer is: Sewage

The correct definition of human excreta and all water-carried waste is sewage. Sewage refers specifically to wastewater that is produced by residential, commercial, and industrial establishments, which includes both liquid waste and organic matter. This definition encompasses not only human waste but also any water that has been contaminated by these excretions. Understanding the term sewage is important as it is commonly used in public health, sanitation, and environmental contexts. Proper management and treatment of sewage are crucial to prevent pollution and protect public health. The other terms, while related to waste management, do not specifically refer to the combination of human excreta and water-carried waste.
