Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without proper treatment, and can have harmful effects on human health. Polluted drinking water can cause diseases like cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea. Chemicals like fluoride, arsenic, lead, chlorine, and petrochemicals in water can also adversely affect human health. To prevent water pollution, people should properly dispose of waste, use water wisely, and not dump chemicals down drains or toilets. Farmers should also be mindful not to overuse pesticides and fertilizers.
