The children participated in this session with a lot of enthusiasm. Ms. Vidya spoke about wastewater and its categories. Children got a good insight into how domestic wastewater is collected and treated by municipal bodies within a city. An experimental setup on filtration gave children an insight into how solid waste is separated from water. The children then explored the different steps of a Sewage treatment plant through a visit to the School STP wherein, they observed the different stages they had learned about during the presentation. The STP helped the children understand how the collection, sedimentation, decantation, filtration work and what happens to the water once it is treated. This expert visit helped children understand what happens to water after it is used.
