Water pollution

                     Undoubtedly water is the most precious resource that exists on our planet. It covers about 75% of the earth’s surface and without it our planet will not grow and flourish. Although most of people know this fact, they damaged their planet by polluting water resources.

               Water pollution is any change in the physical, chemical and biological properties of water that has a harmful effect on living things.

There are two types of water pollution. Firstly, surface water these are the natural water resources of the Earth. These are found on the exterior of the Earth's crust, oceans, rivers and lakes.Secondly, groundwater means earth's water which found in soil or under rock structures called aquifers. In case this water becomes polluted, it is called groundwater pollution.

               

                   There are many causes for this problem. One of these main causes is ship waste. Ships used to take much garbage with them on their ships and dump them.
The other main cause of water pollution is industrial waste. Many companies pour chemicals into the waterways. Other cause is water waste which comes from houses. Sewage, sludge, garbage, and even toxic pollutants are all dumped into the water.

Instead of water being a source of living, it becomes receptacles (container) for every kind of pollution.

                   The effects of water pollution are varied and depend on what chemicals are dumped and in what locations. The main problem caused by water pollution is the effect   on the marine life. Dead fish, birds, dolphins, and many other animals are often killed .other effects is  damage of  the food chain .That is because water is loaded with toxic  and harmful chemicals which in some cases killing all members of a species in an affected area.  Also Pollutants in the water affect the chemistry of the water. Humans are affected by this process as well.  People can get Infectious diseases such as typhoid and cholera.

      

                      We need to start cleaning up the water or we will be in big trouble. The government needs to get active and so does the public. Many laws have been created to restrict industries from dumping materials into the water. Many projects should be carried out in an effort to clean up the water.  Industries should reduce the amount of chemicals they dump into water. The environmental police have taken charge of enforcing water pollution solutions. Also we should encourage Organic foods mean that there were no harmful contaminants used in the growing of the food. 

                Water is a necessity of life and it needs to be conserved and protected. From all of the above pollutants, our water supply is in danger. If we value life as we know it, we need to change our way of life and look at water in a different way. Water is a part of nature and nature concludes everything. Not only the humans but all living organisms belong to and rely on nature. Let us encourage people to save water as well as to try keeping it clean and pure.
