    Blackwater typically refers to wastewater which is highly contaminated due to the presence of fecal matter and urine. It originates from toilets and can also contain residues from pharmaceutical products, chemical substances such as toilet cleaner, or germs and pathogens from human waste. It is distinguished from greywater, which comes from washing machines, sinks, showers, and baths, and generally poses less health risk than blackwater. Blackwater must be appropriately treated before it can be safely released into the environment. The term is also used to describe certain types of dark-colored, acidic rivers or creeks found in wetlands or swamps.
