Sewage discharged into a lake can lead to severe water pollution, introducing harmful pathogens, nutrients, and chemicals that can compromise water quality. This can result in algal blooms, which deplete oxygen levels and harm aquatic life. Additionally, contaminated water poses health risks to humans and wildlife, affecting recreational activities and drinking water sources. Ultimately, the ecosystem can suffer significant disruption, impacting biodiversity and local economies reliant on healthy water bodies.
Generally sewage is pumped out into the sea rather than a lake. Also a lake will recieve water due to rainfall.
'Flem' - from someone's throat that they spit out into the toilet and flush down which then enters the sewage system.
depends how close the sewage treatment center is to the lake.
They dumped their sewage and garbage into Lake Michigan.
Sewage would have a greater effect in a lake than in a river because rivers have more flow to them and the sewage travels faster than a lake with no current.
Sewage is carried out of city's with sewage pipes that leads to rivers, oceans and seas. The problem with that method, is sewage pollution, which could have malicious effects on the environment.
One reason a lake may receive more water from sewage than from natural falling rainwater may be that there are far more sewage outlets due to an urban setting. Another may be that the lake is near a water treatment plant and a large metropolitan area.
Yes! Der!
Oil and sewage would affect us especially if it was disposed of in a lake. From there, it could go into bottled water, and poison fish and various other animals. If it was disposed of in a landfill. the buildup of methan could produce a gas problem, and would also affect a vast number of animals. However, if it was dumped in a lake, it would be more serious.
In the late 1800s they did not have the sewage systems and waste disposal that we have today.

One significant problem facing Lake Baikal is pollution, primarily from industrial runoff, sewage discharge, and tourism-related waste. This pollution threatens the unique biodiversity of the lake, including its endemic species like the Baikal seal. Additionally, climate change is causing rising temperatures and altering the lake's ecosystem, further exacerbating the environmental challenges it faces. Conservation efforts are crucial to protect this UNESCO World Heritage site.
