Domestic sewage refers to wastewater generated from household activities, including toilets, sinks, and showers, containing organic matter, pathogens, and chemicals. When improperly treated or disposed of, this sewage can contaminate water supplies, leading to the spread of diseases and the degradation of aquatic ecosystems. Nutrients in sewage, like nitrogen and phosphorus, can also cause algal blooms, further depleting oxygen in water bodies and harming aquatic life. Ultimately, untreated domestic sewage poses significant risks to public health and the sustainability of freshwater resources.
