What is the cost-benefit relation regarding sewage treatment as a strategy to fight water pollution?

Answer:

To treat sewage is much cheaper for society. The non-treated sewage pollutes rivers, lakes and the sea, being a cause of diseases transmitted through water. For the society, the costs of these diseases are much higher than the cost of the sewage treatment.
