Water pollution The alteration or
change in physical, chemical and biological
characteristics of water which may cause
harmful effects on human and aquatic
life(living organism in earth).
One of the main concerns, is that water pollution, heart phytoplankton who produce
70% of oxygen and remove a large part of carbon dioxide on earth. The organization
proposes a number of measures for fixing the situation, but they should be taken in the
next 10 years for being effective.
India and China are two countries with high levels of
water pollution.
An estimated 580 people in die of water pollution related illness (including waterborne
diseases) every day .
The two chief sources of
water pollution can be seen
as Point and Non-Point.
• Point refer to the pollutants
that belong to a single source.
An example of this would be
emissions from factories into the
water.
• Non-Point on the other hand
means pollutants emitted from
multiple sources. Contaminated
water after rains that has
traveled through several regions
may also be considered as non
point sourse of water pollution
Types Of water pollution
Marine pollution occurs when
harmful effects result from the
entry into the ocean of
chemicals, particles,industrial,
agriculture and residential
waste, noise, or the spread of
invasive organisms. Eighty
percent of marine pollution
comes from land . Air
pollution is also a contributing
factor by carrying off iron,
carbonic acid, nitrogen, silicon,
sulfur , pesticides or dust
particles into the ocean. Land
and air pollution have proven
to be harmful to marine life
and its habitats
Ground water
pollution
When humans apply
pesticides and chemicals to
soils, they are washed deep
into the ground by rain
water. This gets to
underground water, causing
pollution underground. This
means when we dig wells
and bore holes to get
water from underground,
it needs to be checked for
ground water pollution.
Does Water
pollution occur
naturally?
Yes, it
does
Nutrients Pollution
Some wastewater, fertilizers
and sewage contain high levels of
nutrients. If they end up in
water bodies, they encourage
algae and weed growth in the
water. This will make the water
undrinkable, and even clog filters.
Too much algae will also use up
all the oxygen in the water, and
other water organisms in the
water will die out of oxygen
starvation
Causes For Water Pollution
Domestic and
sewage water
pollution
Hazardous
substances coming
into contact with
this surface water,
dissolving or mixing
physically with the
water can be called
surface water
pollution.
Oxygen Depleting
Water bodies have micro-
organisms. These include
aerobic and anaerobic
organisms. When to much
biodegradable matter
(things that easily decay)
end up in water, it
encourages more
microorganism growth,
and they use up more
oxygen in the water. If
oxygen is depleted,
aerobic organisms die, and
anaerobic organism grow
more to produce harmful
toxins such as ammonia
and sulfides.
Microbiological
In many communities in the
world, people drink untreated
water (straight from a river or
stream). Sometimes there is
natural pollution caused by
micro-organisms like viruses,
bacteria and protozoa. This
natural pollution can cause
fishes and other water life to
die. They can also cause serious
illness to humans who drink
from such waters
Chemical Water
Pollution Many industries
and farmers work with
chemicals that end up in
water. This is common
with Point-source
Pollution. These include
chemicals that are used to
control weeds, insects and
pests. Metals and solvents
from industries can
pollute water bodies.
These are poisonous to
many forms of aquatic life
and may slow their
development, make them
infertile and kill them
Oil Spillage
Oil spills usually have
only a localized effect
on wildlife but can
spread for miles. The
oil can cause the
death to many fish
and get stuck to the
feathers of seabirds
causing them to lose
their
Acid rain is caused
by a chemical reaction
that begins when
compounds like sulfur
dioxide and nitrogen
oxides are released into
the air. These substances
can rise very high into
the atmosphere, where
they mix and react
with water, oxygen, and
other chemicals to form
more acidic pollutants,
known as acid rain.
•Religious
Means:
•Among various types of
anthropogenic
actions religious activities
like immersion of flour,
oil, soap, ash, detergents,
floral offerings, and mass
bathing are also one of
the important causes
that affect the water
quality of a water body.
•The river Ganga is the
fifth polluted river n the
world
Agriculture
Runoff
Farms discharge large
quantities of
agrochemicals, organic
matter, drug residues
and saline drainage
into water bodies. ...
Nevertheless, agricult
ural pollution,
aggravated by
increased
sediment runoff and
groundwater
salinization, is also
becoming an issue.
Prevention and Control
● Stabilization of ecosystem
● Using chemical methods
● Recycling
● Recharge and reuse of wastewater
