The treatment of waste water is a good thing for us but It isn't so great for the environment. Some of the Negative effects of waste water treatment on the environment are as follows.
~ The waste water that is released into the water is not 100% free of the harmful bacteria and pollutants ~ The treatment plants take up a lot of space and to make the space habitats had to be destroyed
~ The process to treat the water produces large amounts carbon dioxide and methane
~ The sludge produced by the treatment adds to the buildup of landfills
~ The sludge can release harmful pollutants into the air
~ The fertilizer produced from the sludge is responsible for the excess amounts of atmosphere in the atmosphere
~ The treated water being dumped into the water bodies can be heated. This will cause the temp of thw water to increase. This can cause the death of many fish because there is less oxygen in the water and there bodies require more oxygen therefor they suffocate
