11. Natural water can be divided into two categories: surface water and _______ water
12. _________ is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to clean polluted sites.
13. The reclaimed grey water should fulfill four criteria (hygienic safety, aesthetics, _________ and economical feasibility)
14. _________, is the action of polymers to form bridges between the flocs (particles) and bind the particles into large agglomerates or clumps

18. In ___________, microorganisms convert the organic matter or other constituents in the wastewater into gases and cell tissue
19. The ___________ process is an aerobic suspended-growth process that maintains a relatively high population of micro-organisms (biomass) by recycling settled biomass back to the treatment process.
Project
