Evaluate an article
This is where you will complete your article evaluation. Please use the template below to evaluate your selected article.


 * Name of article: Wastewater treatment
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. I chose this article because SDG 6.1 says "By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all" and I think managing wastewater is important factor to achieve this goal. I want to edit this article because wikipedia says this article is C-class article and High-importance. I think providing more information for many people is important to tackle the issue.

Lead
"Wastewater treatment is a process used to remove contaminants from wastewater or sewage and convert it into an effluent that can be returned to the water cycle with acceptable impact on the environment, or reused for various purposes (called water reclamation).[1] The treatment process takes place in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), also referred to as a Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) or a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) in the case of domestic wastewater. Pollutants in wastewater are removed, converted or broken down during the treatment process.
 * Guiding questions

The treatment of wastewater is part of the overarching field of sanitation. Sanitation also includes the management of human waste and solid waste as well as stormwater (drainage) management.[2] The main by-product from wastewater treatment plants is sewage sludge which is usually treated in the same or another wastewater treatment plant.[3]:Ch.14 Biogas can be another by-product if anaerobic treatment processes are used."
