Szennyvízelvezetésben refers to the field of wastewater management and drainage. This encompasses the systems and processes involved in collecting, transporting, treating, and disposing of wastewater generated by domestic, industrial, and agricultural activities. The primary goal of wastewater management is to protect public health and the environment by removing harmful pollutants from water before it is discharged into natural water bodies or reused.

Effective wastewater management begins with collection systems, typically consisting of underground pipes called sewers, which transport wastewater from its source to a treatment facility. These systems are designed to be watertight to prevent leakage and infiltration, which can overload treatment plants. In some cases, pumping stations are required to move wastewater uphill or over long distances.

Once collected, wastewater undergoes treatment to remove solid materials, organic matter, and other contaminants. Wastewater treatment plants employ various physical, chemical, and biological processes. Primary treatment removes larger solids. Secondary treatment uses microorganisms to break down dissolved organic pollutants. Tertiary treatment, or advanced treatment, further refines the water by removing nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, or specific chemical pollutants, depending on the required discharge standards or reuse purposes.

The final stage involves the safe disposal or reuse of treated wastewater. Treated effluent is typically discharged into rivers, lakes, or oceans, provided it meets strict environmental regulations. In some regions, treated wastewater is reused for purposes such as irrigation, industrial processes, or even potable water supply after extensive purification, contributing to water conservation efforts. Proper management of wastewater is crucial for maintaining a healthy ecosystem and preventing the spread of diseases.
