2. Water Pollution is the
contamination of water
bodies with harmful
substances often as a
consequence of human
activities.

3. Water pollution is an
undesirable change in the state
of water, contaminated with
harmful substances. It is the
second most important
environmental issue next to air
pollution.

4. Water pollution ocurrs when a lot of
chemicals, sewage and fertilizers are
dropped and if it is not treated before
being discharged
into waterways.

5. Domestic households, industrial and
agricultural practices produce wastewater
that can cause pollution of many lakes and
rivers.

6. Dumping of litter in the sea can cause
huge problems in marine animals and
may result in death.

7. Nuclear waste is
produced from
industrial, medical and
scientific processes
that use radioactive
material. Nuclear
waste can have
detrimental effects
on marine habitats .

8. • The effects of water pollution are not
only devastating to people but also to
animals, fishes, and birds. Polluted
water is unsuitable for drinking,
recreation, agriculture, and industry.

9. • Poisoning drinking
water
• Poisoning food
animals
• unbalanced river and
lake ecosystems
that can’t support
full biological
diversity any more
• Contaminated
underground water.

10. • Be careful about what you
throw down your sink or
toilet.
• Use environment friendly
household products, such
as washing powder,
household cleaning agents
and toiletries.
• Take great care not to
overuse pesticides and
fertilisers.
• Don't throw litter into
rivers, lakes or oceans.

11. I think that we have to
change our habits
because the water is a
natural resource very
important and if we
follow the same way till
now, one day maybe our
kids woke up and they
won´t have water to
drink.

12. Planting more trees can also prevent water
pollution by reducing soil erosion and water runoff.
I think that educating people about water
pollution is an important way of preventing water
pollution.
