by two methods:• Conservancy System
• Water-Carriage System

Conservancy System
• Sometimes this system is also called dry-
System. This system is in practice fromvery ancient times. Actually it is out ofdate system even though it is prevailing
in small towns, villages and undevelopedportions of the large cities. Various typesof refuse and storm water are collected,
conveyed and disposed of separately bydierent methods in this system,therefore, it is called conservancy system.

• Garbage or dry refuse of a town is collected in dust binsplaced along the roads and streets, from where it is
conveyed by trucs or covered carts once or twice in a dayto the point of disposal.
• All the non-combustible portions of the garbage such assand, dust, clay ashes etc., are used for !lling the low level
areas to reclaim land for further development of the town.
• The combustible portion of garbage such as dryleaves waste paper bro!en furniture etc. are burnt.The decaying fruit and vegetables grass and other
things are "rst dried and then disposed of by burningor in the manufacturing of Manure.

• #uman $%creta or ight Soil is collected separately inprivies or conservancy laterins. The li"uid and semi-li"uidwastes are collected in separate drains of the same latrine,
from where they are removed through human agency.
• The night soil is ta!en outside the town in closedanimal drawn carts truc!s or tan!s mounted on the
trailers. The night soil is buried in trenches.
• #n conservancy system the Sullage and Storm waters are also
carried out separately in closed or open drains, upto the pointof disposal, where they are allowed to mi$ with stream, rivers
or sea without any treatment.

Merits of Conservancy System
• The following are the merits of %onservancy System
• #t is cheaper in #nitial cost because storm water canpass in open drains and conservancy latrines aremuch economical.
• The "uantity of sewage reaching at the treatmentplant before disposal is low.
• As the storm water goes in open drains, the sewer
section will be small and will run full for the ma&orportion of the year, due to which there will be nosilting and deposits in sewer-lines.
• #n 'oods if the water level of river rises at the out-fall,

'emerits Conservancy System
• #t is possible that storm water may go in sewer causing
heavy load on treatment plants, therefore it is to bewatched.
• #n crouded lanes it is very di(cult to lay two sewers orconstruct road side drains, causing great inconvenienceto the tra(c.
• )uildings cannot be designed as compact unit, becauselatrines are to be designed away from the living roomsdue to foul smell, which are also inconvenient.
• #n the presence of conservancy system, the aestheticappearance of the city cannot be increased.
• *ecomposition of sewage causes insanitary conditionswhich are dangerous to public health.
• This system completely depends on the mercy ofsweepers.

Water Carriage System
• +ith the development and advantages of the cities,
urgent need was felt to replace conservancy systemwith some more improved types of system in whichhuman agencies should not be used for the collectionand conveyance of the sewage. After a large numberof trials it was found that the water is the only
cheapest substance, which can be easily used forcollection and conveyance of sewage. Therefore it iscalled +ater-%arriage System.
• (n this system the e%cremental matters aremi%ed up in large )uantity of water and aredisposed o* after necessary treatment in asatisfactory manner.

Merits & 'emerits of Water Carriage System
erits
• #t is hygienic method, because all the e$cremental matters are collected andconveyed by water only and no human agency is employed for it.
• There is no nuisance in the street of the town due to oensive matters,because all the sewage goes in closed sewers under the ground. The ris of
epidemic is reduced.
• As only one sewer is laid, therefore it occupies less space in crowded lane.
• *ue to more "uantity of sewage, self-cleansing velocity can be obtained evenat less gradients.
• )uildings can be designed as compact one unit.
• The land re"uired for the disposal wor is less as compared with conservancy
system in which more area is re"uired.• The usual water supply is su(cient and no additional water is re"uired in water
carriage system.
• This system does not depend on the manual labours
• Sewage after proper treatment can be used for various purposes.

Domestic Sewage Industrial Sewage
• Liquid waste originating
from kitchen sinks, urinals,latrines, bathrooms, wash
basins etc of the residential,
commercial or institutional

• #t is not suitable for areas having rainfall for small period of theyear, because the dry weather 'ow will be small due to which self-cleaning velocities will not be available resulting in silting up ofthe sewers.
