Sewage is a liquid containing wastes which is disposed of by households, industrial and agricultural activities in the water. It is harmful to discharge untreated sewage into rivers or seas because it can pollute the whole sources of water. Sewage contains harmful substances and disease-causing organisms.-It is therefore dangerous to release untreated sewage into water bodies.
