For Earth Day 2023, VTSEVA Detroit Youth (14) and Adult (9) Volunteers toured Ann Arbor Wastewater Treatment center on 16th April 2023. We toured various treatment units in the facility and learnt that Wastewater Treatment is a process to remove waste materials from the wastewater (household, industrial and commercial), and the clean water can be used or returned into the regular water cycle. Whatever the waste removed from the sewage can be sent to landfill or the waste handling storage facility. We all learned it's our responsibility to conserve water and use it with consciousness and not just use without any thought.
