to teat the waste and chemical effluents becomes very costly for the company its been emitted from .so to save their extra expenditure the waste is left untreated
Most water flows through rivers. Sewage is usually treated, by digestion of the organic matter by microorganisms, followed by allowing the sludge to settle before it is discharged to rivers or the sea. When the amount of water exceeds the capability of the sewage plant to treat it, raw sewage is discharged to sea. This can be done safely if a long enough pipe is used, and beaches are closed for a period after the discharge.
Apexvs. The sewage system in a neighborhood
For primitive household: Waste water would discharge through canal, some would install the open septic tank for toilet water which allow water to absorb down through soil. For modern household: Usually water from sink, bath tub and washing would discharged directly to municipal sewage system. Water run down the toilet bowl would go through a close septic tank before discharge to municipal sewage. For apartment or share housing: All water will pass through primary treatment like oil trapping or septic tank then discharge to municipal sewage.
I assume it would be very smelly, is what.
I'm assuming you mean waste management. Imagine living in your toilet. without waste management, it wouldn't be much different then that. waste management takes our sewage and garbage away for processing/cleaning so it doesn't just gather as large piles of rotting, rat infested, disease ridden piles.

Some waste products are treated at a dye house first because they contain colourings and chemicals that cannot be treated at an ordinary sewage works.
Untreated sewage is waate product from factorries, nuclear facillities and untreated human waste. This waste is highly dangerous as it contains bacteria, virus, etc... This waste if mixed with river water or water system can cause large damage not just to human but aquatic life aswell. Treated sewage is sewage which is filtered and treated with chlorines and other chemical, after the process the water is ready to be mixed with river, etc. This water is even ready to drink.
If you do not have mains sewage it will go into a local septic tank on the property or near by. Where it will be treated an then discharged into a soak away. If you have mains sewage then it goes into the sewer pipes and can either flow out into a river or the sea, or more likely it will go to a sewage treatment works where it will be treated and cleaned. From there it can either be discharged into a river or sea or it might be treated and recycled.
C. Treated sewage is less damaging to the environment than untreated sewage
All water we drink and produce as sewage is part of the water cycle. Water is taken from rivers and lakes and treated to drinking water standard. Wastewater then goes down the sewers to a wastewater treatment plant where it is treated to clean it and then put back into rivers........so you're not directly drinking sewage!
There are basically two types of sewage treatment plants 1. Chemically treated - where chemicals are added to break down the effluents and disinfect it 2. Biologically treated - the effluent is broken down with the help of aerobic bacteria
That depends on how your sewage is treated, it could go into a septic tank in your garden or it could go into the public sewer and on to a sewage treatment works (sewage farm). In both cases raw sewage is prevented from discharge directly into the environment and the sewage is retained until natural processes have converted it into water that is safe to discharge.
