Expert Answer
It is harmful to dispose off household wastes into water bodies because many detergents contain phosphates. When this phosphate comes in contact with water bodies, they lead to the rapid growth of algae. The multiplication of aquatic weeds in water bodies hinders fishing, navigation and irrigation.
