When human waste is dumped into a river, it can lead to significant environmental and health issues. The waste introduces pathogens and harmful bacteria into the water, which can contaminate drinking supplies and harm aquatic life. Additionally, the excess nutrients from the waste can cause algal blooms, depleting oxygen in the water and disrupting ecosystems. This pollution can also have serious consequences for communities relying on the river for recreation or agriculture.

Untreated human waste may be dumped in various locations, including open fields, rivers, or oceans, particularly in areas lacking proper sanitation infrastructure. Some individuals may resort to these methods due to inadequate waste management systems or in emergencies. However, such practices pose serious public health risks and environmental hazards, leading to pollution and the spread of diseases. Many countries have regulations prohibiting the dumping of untreated waste to protect human health and the environment.
