When the Sewer Becomes Trash Can

Sewer is an artificial usually subterranean conduit to carry off sewage and sometimes surface water as from rainfall. I think the public awareness of environmental cleanliness is still very lacking. We often find sewers that are not working properly. Especially the dirty sewer around my environment it will cause damage to the environment. Now, I will talk about a dirty sewer in my environment. Dirty sewers give a negative impact on the environment such as can be breeding grounds for mosquitoes and a lot of trash that settled in the sewer.

The first reason there is no side responsible for cleaning the sewer. To clean the sewer is not an easy thing, because many people that avoid to cleaning and caring the sewer or maybe there are should on duty but they pay less attention to all the environment, they just focus on the environment what they are looking on without seeing the surrounding environment. A dirty sewer has a bad impact like become a breeding ground for mosquitoes because of clogged drains can make a puddle and mosquito-like to keep their eggs in the water.

Another reason because the location of the sewer is less visible and they feel like there is not my responsible about that sewer. If the sewer already exists, this can lead to the spread of various diseases. In addition, if the rainy season arrives, the clogged channel will cause a flood that can harm local residents. Dirty drains also cause unpleasant odors. The sewer will change to become cloudy and some will even have black color. Besides the color changes, our sense of smell will also be disturbed because of the bad rot in the nose. If the sewer has been filled with garbage and waste, it will end up spreading various.

Health starts from our environment. Because environmental hygiene is a condition of healthy living. Besides that, a clean environment also reflects a clean person and makes a positive image for ourselves. We must know the slogan "cleanliness of part of faith" or "cleanliness of the base of health". However, in reality, we still see and feel uncomfortable due to the dirty environments and scattered garbage. (Anwar, 2016)
