In this question, we are given two statements related to the topic of wastewater management and treatment. We need to determine which statement is correct.
Statement 1: An underground pipe which carries away dirty drainage water is called a sewer.
Statement 2: The wastewater treatment plant is also called a sewage treatment plant.
Let's analyze each statement separately:
Statement 1: An underground pipe which carries away dirty drainage water is called a sewer.
This statement is correct. A sewer is a system of underground pipes that carries wastewater, including dirty drainage water, away from homes, buildings, and other structures to a treatment plant or a disposal point.
Statement 2: The wastewater treatment plant is also called a sewage treatment plant.
This statement is also correct. The terms "wastewater treatment plant" and "sewage treatment plant" are often used interchangeably to refer to a facility that processes and treats wastewater to remove contaminants before it is discharged back into the environment or reused for various purposes.
Therefore, both statements are correct, and the correct answer is option C:
Both statements are correct.
