waste water and human excrement
Dirty water and human waste that go from houses or buildings into pipes under the ground.
نمط الاستخدام:
sewage from [a place]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "sewage" with "sewerage." "Sewage" is the dirty water and waste itself, while "sewerage" is the system of pipes that carries it. Learners may also incorrectly use "sewages" as a plural; the word is almost always used as an uncountable noun, without a plural form.
