You know how India's dense population results in people crapping in the streets and on beaches as well as throwing piles of dead bodies into the river? If the USA starts to get any areas as densely populated as India, will we have the same problem? What can we do to prevent it and how long do we have before we need to take serious action?

Not to worry. Nature will thin the herd. The global warming we have enjoyed has allowed our population to grow to levels never seen before. This will end and faster than most people believe.

Short answer possibly

Long answer depends.

Sewer services for any large population has to be done through government regulation. A septic system works in rural or near rural locations in which waste can be handled through natural decomposition faster than it can be generated. That is not the case in densely populated cities. India's governments have not spent the money on building sewer systems in its cities. I believe the Indian caste system is in general as large part of the issue (upper castes not wanting to spend money on lower castes ). But other densely populated countries have spent money on sewer systems and do not have the same issues (at least in major cities). So India has a large issue with human waste being left on the streets of major cities, the same does not occur in the major cities of China, a country just as densely populated (China has more land, but less of it is arable than India)

So for the US, if the people wanted to spend taxpayer money on sewer systems throughout its cities (not ignoring the poorer sections) then no the US would not have the same sanitation issues as India. It could be just as clean as east Asia (China, Japan, Korea)
