PHE - Unit IV - Part 2

The document compares separate, combined, and partially combined systems of sewerage, outlining their respective advantages and disadvantages. Separate systems are smaller and prevent river pollution but are costly and prone to clogging. Combined systems are economical but can lead to increased treatment loads and pollution, while partially combined systems aim to balance the benefits of both but may still face challenges during dry weather.
