Which of the following is wastewater?
(a) Water trickling from a damaged tap.
(b) Water coming out of a shower.
(c) Water flowing in a river.
(d) Water coming out of a laundry.

Correct Answer: (d) Water coming out of a laundry.

Explanation: Water discharged during daily chores-like washing clothes, flushing toilets, washing dishes, bathing etc., becomes dirty. This dirty water is called wastewater.

Water trickling from a damaged tap, water coming out of a shower and water flowing in a river are not dirty and hence it is not wastewater.
