Answer: True.

Why this is correct

Water that has been used in homes, industries, agriculture, or any other activity and is no longer clean is called wastewater. This includes graywater (from sinks and showers), blackwater (from toilets), and industrial effluents.

Key point

  • Used water = wastewater because it contains contaminants from the use and needs treatment or disposal.
