As you view:
  1. During the clip, watch carefully as Olivia Rajit shows Pete around the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee, Victoria. What are the key stages of the wastewater treatment process?
  2. See how pool covers capture methane gas. How is this gas used? Listen for what happens to the nitrogen contained in the raw sewage. How does the treatment make the nitrogen harmless to the environment?

    After viewing:
    1. Bacteria are vital to the process of wastewater treatment. How is bacterial growth encouraged at the plant? Why are bacteria important?
    2. What could happen if the sludge in sewage was not broken down before the wastewater was released to the environment?
    3. Treatment plants try to replicate processes found within the water cycle. Do you think they do reproduce them? Why or why not?
