2. Water Pollution
 Water pollution is the contamination of water
bodies, usually as a result of human activities, in
such a manner that negatively affects its legitimate
uses. Water pollution reduces the ability of the
body of water to provide the ecosystem services
that it would otherwise provide.

3. Few Examples of Water Pollution
 Yamuna River (India)
Long ago, the waters of Yamuna were
pristine blue but today the Yamuna is
one of the severely polluted rivers in the
world. The Yamuna is particularly
polluted downstream of New Delhi, the
capital of India, which dumps about 58%
of its waste into the river.

4. Citarum River (Indonesia)
The Citarum River is the longest and
largest river in West Java, Indonesia. It
is the third longest river in Java, after
Bengawan Solo and Brantas. It has an
important role in the life of the people of
West Java, as it supports agriculture,
water supply, fishery, industry,
sewerage, and electricity for 25 million
people. It has been noted for being
considered one of the most polluted
rivers in the world.

5. Innovative Ideas to Reduce Water
Pollution
4 Ideas to reduce water pollution.

6. Use Phosphate-Free
Detergent and Dish
Cleaner
 You can further cut down on water pollution
by using just enough of these cleaners to do
the job.
 Phosphates aren’t the only harmful
chemicals in cleaners. Phosphates lead to
algae blooms and kill fish and other aquatic
animals by reducing the oxygen in the
water.

7. Dispose of Medical Waste Properly
 Never flush medicines down the
toilet, and never dump them in the
nearest pond or creek. The drugs
tend to accumulate in the water, and
in fish and other wildlife.
 Hormones and other compounds
end up causing a variety of health
problems in fish and birds and
contaminate drinking water that
people and livestock use.

8. Try to Avoid Plastic Containers
 Plastic shopping bags and plastic rings from six-packs of
beverages cause inordinate problems in the nation's lakes and
seas.
 Plastic bottles can last for decades in the water. Buy some
reusable cloth bags instead.
 Use reusable, insulated containers to hold drinks and make your
own filtered water at home.

9. Cut Down on Chemicals
Homeowners like to keep the yard looking green and healthy.
This desire for a green lawn produces water pollution in two
ways: Fertilizers and pesticides inevitably run off the shrubs and
lawns and into the water. Select landscaping that is adapted to
the climate. No matter where you live, there are bound to be
attractive plants that can thrive with minimal help from added
chemicals. This makes the plants cheaper to care for. As a
bonus, you will waste less water keeping those plants alive.
