As we already know, our bathroom is a sanctuary, a place isolated from the madding crowd where we are ourselves, but obviously it is a step stay where many processes are carried out. When we pull the chain begins a long journey that many do not know and that is curious as none.
Once finished we pull the chain and the water that will accompany the waste during this journey is released. The first step is to get out of the labyrinth of pipes that make up our home, be it a flat or a chalet, until we get to the big 'waste highway' or sewage system where they join with the rest of the waste of other citizens. Yes, it is unpleasant to think about what you are doing, but the explanation is more graphic.
This large black waterway leads to a Water Treatment Station, where they are stored in a pond. In this large container a series of processes are carried out to purify the water, concretely a bacterium is added that feeds on all these wastes, completely cleaning all the water that has arrived.
On many occasions many people have claimed to see blocks of blue ice falling from the sky, or a species of the same color. If you ever witness any of these phenomena, do not even touch it, as they are the waste stored in the containers that have escaped through a crack.
It is known as the water cycle to all the route that it makes since it is collected from Nature, is safely available in our homes and finally returned in a convenient manner.
(Como ya sabemos nuestro cuarto de baño es un santuario, un lugar aislado del mundanal ruido donde somos nosotros mismo, pero obviamente no deja de ser una estancia de paso donde se llevan a cabo muchos procesos. Cuando tiramos de la cadena comienza un largo recorrido que muchos desconocemos y que resulta curioso como ninguno.
Una vez terminada tiramos de la cadena y se libera el agua que acompañará a los residuos durante
este trayecto. El primer paso es salir del laberinto de tuberías que configura
nuestro hogar, ya sea un piso o un chalet, hasta llegar a la gran ‘autovía de
desechos’ o alcantarillado de aguas negras donde se unen con el resto de
desperdicios de otros ciudadanos. Sí, resulta desagradable pensar de que haces, pero la explicación resulta más gráfica.
Esta gran vía de aguas negras
desemboca en una Estación de Tratamiento del Agua, donde se almacenan todas en
un estanque. En este gran recipiente se realizan una serie de procesos para
purificar el agua, concreta mente se añade una bacteria que se alimenta de todos
estos desperdicios limpiando por completo toda el agua que ha llegado.
En multitud de ocasiones muchas personas han asegurado ver
bloques de hielo azul caer desde el cielo, o una especie del mismo color. Si
alguna vez sois testigo de alguno de estos fenómenos, ni se os ocurra tocarlo,
ya que son los desperdicios almacenados en los recipientes que se han fugado
por alguna grieta.
Se conoce como ciclo del agua
a todo el recorrido que hace ésta desde que se recoge de la Naturaleza, se
dispone de manera segura en nuestras casas y finalmente de devuelve de una
manera conveniente.)
In this article we are going to focus on the title, which is once we have the water at home, we use it and we want to get rid of it by the drains.
All this water, which is known as wastewater, is channeled through the sewage networks to the water treatment facilities, which are known as Wastewater Treatment Plants.
In these stations the task of water purification is carried out, which is a series of physical, chemical and biological treatments that make these waters an element that is neither dangerous nor harmful to Nature when they are poured back into a river or the sea.
November is a special month in the world of toilets. Every November, international actors meet to highlight one of the biggest challenges: face the global sanitation crisis.
If there is something that unites us all, it is when nature calls. But depending on where we live, we can not always do our needs safely and responsibly.
Have you ever thought about what happens to your excrement once you release them in the toilet?
For millions of people, there is no safe toilet or sanitation service that removes the waste, which leads to the excrement end up in the open air where they are transported by flies, causing human diseases. Even in places that have a certain sanitation infrastructure, pipes can be broken or sewage can be emptied into the environment, contaminating land with crops or water sources.
According to the Program, 85.72% of the people in the region currently have access to a toilet, but not all waste is managed safely.
Dealing appropriately with our excrement is not only related to avoiding dangers, it also has to do with seizing an opportunity. Stools properly treated and reused have great potential as an affordable and sustainable source of energy, nutrients and water. Sanitation systems also generate jobs and investment opportunities.
Our world of toilets is full of innovative business opportunities and innovation, in places where nobody was looking for them, virtually untapped and with the potential to obtain significant positive impacts for society.

(En este artículo vamos a
centrarnos en lo referido al título, que es una vez que tenemos el agua en
casa, la utilizamos y queremos deshacernos de ella por los desagües.
Toda esta agua, que se conoce
como aguas residuales, se canalizan a través de las redes de alcantarillado
hasta las instalaciones de tratamiento de aguas, que se conocen con el nombre
de Estaciones Depuradoras de Aguas Residuales.
En estas estaciones se realiza
la tarea de depuración de aguas, que es una serie de tratamientos físicos,
químicos y biológicos que hacen de estas aguas un elemento no peligroso ni
nocivo para la Naturaleza cuando se viertan de nuevo a un cauce o al mar.
noviembre es un mes especial
en el mundo de los Retretes. Cada noviembre, actores internacionales se reúnen
para subrayar uno de los mayores desafíos: enfrentar la crisis mundial de
saneamiento.
Si hay algo que nos une a
todos, es cuando la naturaleza llama. Pero dependiendo de dónde vivimos, no
siempre podemos hacer nuestras necesidades de manera segura y responsable.
¿Alguna vez te has puesto a
pensar en qué pasa con tus excrementos una vez que los liberas en el retrete?
Para millones de personas, no
existe inodoro seguro o servicio de saneamiento que elimine el residuo, lo que
lleva a que los excrementos acaben al aire libre donde son transportados por
moscas, causando enfermedades humanas. Incluso en lugares que cuentan con
determinada infraestructura de saneamiento, los caños pueden romperse o las
aguas servidas pueden vaciarse en el ambiente, contaminando tierras con
cultivos o fuentes hídricas.
Según el Programa el 85,72% de las personas en la región de actualmente posee acceso a un retrete, pero no todos los residuos son
gestionados de manera segura.
Lidiar adecuadamente con
nuestros excrementos no solo se relaciona con evitar peligros, también tiene
que ver con aprovechar una oportunidad. Las heces adecuadamente tratadas y
reutilizadas poseen un gran potencial como fuente asequible y sostenible de
energía, nutrientes y agua. Los sistemas de saneamiento también generan puestos
de trabajo y oportunidades de inversión.
Where does our waste go? We all have the mistaken thought that when we throw the chain the waste leaves freely in the air and rail space, but no, the process is not as funny as we imagine. These toilets work like the small portable toilets of the caravans, that is, when we use the waste they go to a large black water tank filled with a blue liquid that breaks down all the waste. But these systems have a risk since deposits often break or cracks appear and this causes leaks.
On many occasions many people have claimed to see blocks of blue ice falling from the sky, or a species of the same color. If you ever witness any of these phenomena, do not even touch it, as they are the waste stored in the containers that have escaped through a crack.
It is known as the water cycle to all the route that it makes since it is collected from Nature, is safely available in our homes and finally returned in a convenient manner.
(¿a dónde van nuestros desperdicios? Todos tenemos el erróneo pensamiento de que cuando tiramos de la cadena los desperdicios sale de manera libre por el espacio aéreo y ferroviario, pero no, el proceso no es tan gracioso como imaginamos. Estos baños funcionan como los pequeños baños portátiles de las auto caravanas, es decir, cuando nosotros usamos los desechos van a parar a un gran depósito de aguas negras llenas de un líquido azul que descompone todos los desperdicios. Pero estos sistemas tienen un riesgo ya que muchas veces los depósitos se rompen o aparecen grietas y esto provoca fugas.
