reoveevõrk

Reoveevõrk refers to the network of underground pipes, pumps, and other infrastructure that collects and transports wastewater from residential, commercial, and industrial sources to a wastewater treatment plant. This essential system plays a crucial role in public health and environmental protection by preventing the discharge of untreated sewage into rivers, lakes, and oceans. The design and maintenance of a reoveevõrk are complex, involving considerations of flow rates, pipe gradients, material durability, and potential blockages.

Wastewater, also known as sewage, is typically composed of water from toilets, sinks, showers, and industrial processes. Once collected by the reoveevõrk, it travels through a series of interconnected pipes, often under gravity, to reach pumping stations. These stations are strategically located to lift the wastewater to higher elevations or overcome long distances, ensuring continuous flow towards the treatment facility. The efficiency and integrity of the reoveevõrk are vital to avoid leaks that can contaminate groundwater and soil, or overflows that can cause localized flooding and pollution. Regular inspections, cleaning, and repairs are therefore critical aspects of its operation.
