Sewage and wastewater are closely related but not exactly the same. Wastewater is a broader term that encompasses any water that has been used or contaminated in various human activities. It includes water from domestic, industrial, and agricultural sources.
Sewage, on the other hand, specifically refers to wastewater that originates from toilets, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen drains in households and commercial buildings. It contains human waste, along with water from various other sources within the building. While sewage is a type of wastewater, not all wastewater is sewage.
