Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sewage pollution is more severe after prolonged periods of rain because the increased amount of rainfall can overwhelm sewage systems and cause overflows or leaks, leading to more sewage entering waterways. This is particularly problematic in coastal areas because the pollution can damage marine ecosystems and threaten public health.
