Solution

Factory waste can contain acids or bases. When they are introduced to water bodies, water becomes acidic or basic.

Fishes and other aquatic organisms cannot survive in acidic or basic water. They will die.

So, it is necessary to neutralize factory waste, before disposing them to water bodies. Otherwise aquatic organisms will die.
