acque fognarie...bianche e nere
Italian to English
Tech/Engineering
Engineering (general)
"Tubi di nuova generazione per
scarichi civili e industriali acque
fognarie, bianche e nere"
How do I render "bianche e nere" here - white and black? I know the glossary gives rainwater for acqua bianca but in this case "acque fognarie" is specified. Is rainwater still appropriate?
Thanks!

stormwater and sewage
http://www.okc.gov/query.html?water/service/drainage.html
These are pipes which can be used to get rid of stormwater or sewage. The sewer systems are generally not the same for these two, so I see no problem in translating them with their proper seperate names.

sewage, grey waters and black waters

Black Water: liquid and solid human body waste and the carriage water generated by toilet use.
Grey Water: wastewater other than sewage, such as sink or washing machine drainage.

Sewage = acque luride (diz. Marolli)
