Water Pollution


Water Pollution

         Is a contamination of water such as sewage effluent ,chemicals,detergents,and fertilizer runoff. 

 Causes:

           1.Sewage and waste water
           2. Industrial Waste
           3.Oil Pollution
           4.Atmospheric Deposition
           5.Marine Dumping
           6.Radio Active Waste
           7.Underground Storage Leakages
           8.Global Warming
           9.Eutrophication


Solutions:

1.Reducing Nutrient and Pesticide Pollution


                                           By encouraging smarter agricultural practices and using bio dynamic farming, no-till planting and setting ponds to reduce the amount of rain off that enters into the ground water and flows into the streams.


2.Reduce Household Run Off of Pesticides and Fertilizers

                                           By using less of these chemicals or stopping their use altogether we can prevent the pollution of the water.

3.Drive Less

                   To reduce the amount of air pollution being emitted into the environment and minimize the amount of nitrogen deposition.

4.Reestablishing Wetlands

                   To act as a buffer zone to assist in filtering pollutants.

5.Enforced existing Laws

                   A politician pontificating about a great new anti-pollution law theyve sponsored means little if they continue to allow existing laws to go unenforced.





There are many other water solutions that may be put into effect including:





  • Improve the sewage treatment system to stop the leaks in the pipes
  • Conserve water
  • Improve storm water management
  • Monitor watershed
  • Stop deforestation to soak up the rain water and prevent run off occurring  

My Personal Views:

                   The pollutants of the water comes from the industrial waste, oil pollution, underground storage leakages and especially from us.

                    The pollutants of the water comes from us, because we people are the head of the pollutants of the water. Without those industrial waste and storage leakages that is created by a human, the water would not be polluted.


                    Individuals can do a lot to help with the water pollution solutions by doing simple things, like throwing the garbage in the proper disposal and not by throwing it in the pond, river, sea, and any other places. By doing this simple things we can prevent the pollutants of the water.
