sewage / sewerage


Explanation:
naime, to je ono što se donedavno nazivalo "kanalizacija", i za sustav i za djelatnost. premda se u nekim stručnim člancima napisanim ili prevedenim na EN može naći i 'drainage', u nacionalnim planovima i drugim strateškim dokumentima se taj izraz ne nalazi, nego su u upotrebi 'sewage' i 'sewerage'
tako je i u naslovu međunarodnog kongresa na tu temu koji će se u listopadu održati u Šibeniku: Current Issues in Water Supply and Sewage

neutral  Daryo: "sewage" is the name for the installation, but the function of it is to drain = drainage
