I lost my picture for this one somehow :/ At this point there were very few solids left in the waste, and the color was a medium-shade of orange. It was really close to how the disinfection one looked since we already got so many of the solids out.

It goes into a river, so it can return to the natural water cycle.

Leaves, rocks, and other larger solids. There is also sugar, tea, pieces of the teabag itself, and cooking oil. The sugar and tea mixed right in with the water, and the other solids were either nonpolar (the oil) and counteracted the water, or floated/sunk (the rocks and leaves).

This step is needed because it removes the larger objects to 1) already remove a good chunk of the larger contaminants and 2) Get them out of the way so they don't damage all of the pumps and tanks involved in the rest of the treatment process. In this process we removed the leaves and rocks, which represents grits and fine human solids/waste, and the larger pieces like tampons, condoms, and other things that are flushed but shouldn't be.

This step is needed to remove the smaller pieces of grit and solids the screening could not pick up. Also, grit can cause damage to pumps and tanks so that is another reason why it is needed to be removed. The grit was removed, which is composed of small stones, representing sand, soil, and stones.

The germs and human waste settle at the bottom, forming a grey sludge. This occurs because the waste water is flowing very slowly at this point which lets all of this sludge sink.

# data[].attributes.body
Water would become severely contaminated and start posing threats to humans, animals, marine life, the air, the list goes on and on... there would be so many contaminants, such as human waste and plastics, that would cause an epidemic for the health and safety of the planet. There would be close to none clean water in the natural water cycle.

It is dried to kill the germs, and then used as a fertilizer so that compost can be made. It must be treated first though, so that the toxic bacteria from human waste doesn't pose a threat to humans and the environment.

Although the water may look clear at this stage, it may still contain micro organisms that we can't see such as germs that we need to remove to protect humans and animals.
