Wastewater story part 1
Wastewater, or sewage, is dirty water from homes and businesses that contains organic waste, pathogens, and other pollutants. It is produced from sinks, showers, toilets, laundries, and other drains. Wastewater must be treated through a multi-stage process before it is safely released back into the environment. This involves removing solids, organic matter, nutrients, and bacteria or other disease-causing pathogens. Proper wastewater treatment is important for public health and environmental protection.
Oklahoma Blue Thumb Water Education overview
The State of Oklahoma Blue Thumb Water Quality Education Program overview with information about non-point source pollution and watersheds.
Water pollution and solutions
- Most of Earth's surface is covered by water, but 97% is salt water which cannot be used for drinking or crops. Fresh water supplies are limited.
- Water pollution occurs when human and industrial wastes contaminate water sources. Major pollutants include sewage, agricultural runoff, and industrial/mining chemicals.
- Solutions to water pollution include proper sewage treatment, reducing industrial pollutants, and cleaning up oil spills. Individuals can help by properly disposing of household chemicals rather than pouring them down drains.
PPT made by Jatin Batra IV - C
This document discusses water pollution. It begins by explaining the importance of water and how rain is the major source of pure water. However, as rain reaches the earth's surface and bodies of water, it can become polluted by dissolving harmful gases, dust, smoke particles and germs. Further pollution occurs from human activities like bathing, washing, dumping domestic and industrial waste, and chemicals from farms and factories. This reduces oxygen in the water and can infect and kill aquatic plants and animals. Polluted water used for drinking or irrigation can spread diseases. Steps are outlined to prevent water pollution from various sources and raise awareness that it is everyone's responsibility to keep the environment clean.
How to be an active citizen!
Improper sanitation practices can lead to diseases by allowing bacteria and viruses to spread. Citizens should work with local governments to address issues like open drains by insisting they be covered, and spread awareness about conserving water. A scientist was able to singlehandedly clean a polluted wetland using new water treatment technology after seeing its deteriorated state. Certain items like food, oils, and chemicals should be disposed of in dustbins rather than drains to prevent clogs and allow for proper degradation. Open defecation and untreated human waste contaminate water sources and soil, spreading disease.
Controlling river pollution in india
The document discusses river pollution in India, focusing on the Ganges River. It identifies various causes of river pollution like industrial and agricultural waste.

Water ppt
The human body is 70% water and plants cannot survive without it. Water is essential for life and is contained in many foods. However, water pollution from sewage, industries, ships, litter, and acid rain is increasingly threatening water sources like lakes and rivers. Various types of water pollution include nutrients, surface, groundwater, chemical, and oil pollution. Industries release harmful pollutants like asbestos, lead, mercury, oils, and petrochemicals into water. Acid rain is also very damaging to marine life and plants. If not addressed, water pollution can reduce fresh water and cause death, disease, and disruption of food chains.
WATER PRESENTATION BY HÜSEYİN KORKMAZ
The water treatment plant removes solids in large clarifier tanks. The water then undergoes ozone disinfection and filtration through six filters that can each filter over 16 million gallons per day. The filtered water receives final disinfection with chlorine and chloramine to kill any remaining bacteria or viruses. Mud from the bottom of the clarifiers is sent to holding ponds to settle and thicken before further treatment.

The document discusses two major challenges that sea creatures like Dory, Marlin, and Nemo would face if traveling across the Pacific Ocean in real life: plastic pollution and climate change impacts on coral reefs. Plastic pollution has created huge garbage patches in the oceans, and if plastic production continues at its current rate, plastic waste will outweigh all the fish in the ocean by 2050. Climate change has also severely damaged coral reefs like the Great Barrier Reef through higher ocean temperatures causing widespread coral bleaching.
Endangered marine animals
The document discusses several endangered marine animal species that have been threatened by human activity and environmental damage. Whales, dolphins, seals, turtles and fish species have been overhunted for consumption and other uses. Their habitats and ecosystems have also been degraded by pollution, including oil spills, acid rain, excess waste, chemicals, sediment, and thermal pollution from power plants. Overfishing and introducing foreign species have also disrupted trophic chains. Conservation efforts should focus on preventing further oil pollution by reusing oil, using less oil, and prohibiting drilling in sensitive habitats.

Ocean waste
The document discusses different types of waste found in oceans, with a focus on plastic pollution. The most problematic waste is plastic, which does not biodegrade and can be harmful if ingested by marine life. Common plastic waste items in oceans include bags, bottles, and lost fishing gear. China and other Asian countries are the largest contributors to ocean plastic pollution. Ingested plastic can cause starvation and death in ocean animals like seabirds, sea turtles, and marine mammals. The document also provides tips for reducing plastic waste to help address this problem.
Ocean debris - Amber
Ocean debris, also known as marine debris or marine litter, is human-made waste that ends up in bodies of water. While some natural debris like driftwood has occurred for thousands of years, plastic pollution has severely increased as plastic does not biodegrade. Animals often mistake debris for food which can cause injury or death when it blocks their digestive systems. Toxic chemicals from plastic can also leak into waters. Various methods are used to remove debris from beaches and coastlines, but much remains floating in oceans. Common debris items include plastic bags, bottles, balloons, fishing nets, and other materials from ships. Studies show 80% of debris is plastic, which is especially harmful as it never decomposes and can kill over one
Ocean Pollution Research
The document contains summaries from several student groups on how trash affects marine life and oceans. Group 1 discusses how plastic can be mistaken as food by sea creatures, leading to starvation, and how trash affects ocean plants. Group 2 examines the pollution caused by fishing boats and drains. Group 3 outlines ways to prevent trash from reaching the oceans like reducing waste and organizing beach cleanups. Group 4 defines the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and how plastic gets into the ocean through drains, boats, land, and factories. Group 5 organized a beach cleanup event and provided steps for holding one.
HELP STOP POLLUTION!
Millions of marine animals die each year from plastic pollution and other human threats like oil spills, chemicals, and fishing gear. Pollution enters oceans from sources on land, with plastic debris making up 60-95% of marine pollution. Simple actions like recycling, cleaning beaches, and not releasing balloons can help reduce waste that harms sea life. Most ocean trash comes from land-based activities, threatening marine animals and coating beaches with indestructible plastic.
Wetlands: The Kidneys of our Waterways
Wetlands are highly biodiverse ecosystems that provide many important functions. They act as filters for pollutants in waterways before reaching rivers and oceans, making them like the "kidneys" of water systems. Wetlands support a wide variety of plants and animals, including as habitat and refuges. However, wetlands are often overlooked and considered "wastelands" despite their significance. Activities during World Wetlands Week aim to increase awareness of wetlands and encourage their protection.
Pollution of the water
The document discusses various ways that the area around Ft. Lauderdale pollutes the ocean. Specifically, it notes that ships leaving the busy Ft. Lauderdale Boat port sometimes leave behind oil that pollutes the water. It also discusses how human trash and sewage can harm ocean life by depleting oxygen levels and creating "dead zones". However, it proposes that individuals and community groups can help protect the ocean through clean-up efforts and responsible waste disposal.
Servathon 2012 at Freedom Island
Hands On Manila, Earth Island Institute Philippines and Save Freedom Island Movement will be spearheading a coastal clean-up and mangrove planting of a part of Manila Bay, particularly at the Las Pinas-Paranaque Critical Habitat and Eco-tourism Area (LPPCHEA) or commonly known as Freedom Island and Long Island.
It's the last remaining wetlands of mangroves and salt marshes in Metro Manila that serves as a bird sanctuary for more than 80 bird species and commercially valuable marine creatures. Said bird and marine sanctuary was declared as a critical habitat in 2007 by Proclamation No: 1412. But, ironically, it is presently bombarded with threats of relentless garbage disposal and the impending reclamation project of the Philippine Reclamation Authority (PRA).
Water pollution
Water pollution is a serious global problem. It has various causes like industrial waste, marine dumping, oil spills, and agricultural runoff. This contamination affects ecosystems, spreads disease, and impacts food safety and access to clean water. Innovative solutions are being developed like the Great Bubble Barrier which uses air bubbles to divert waste in rivers, ferrofluid that binds microplastics magnetically, and devices like the Seabin and Wasteshark that collect floating trash from ports and harbors.
Curse of plastic
- Plastic pollution has severe impacts on the environment and economy as marine life consumes plastic and dies from choking, blockages or starvation. Scientists are also investigating effects on human health.
- Nearly 80% of marine litter originates on land, mostly plastic, and plastic pollution affects waterways and oceans globally. Cleaning up plastic costs taxpayers and threatens tourism.
- Plastic takes hundreds of years to decompose and is often mistaken as food by marine animals, becoming entangled in their stomachs or breathing passages. The only effective solution is to reduce single-use plastics at the source by promoting recycling and reusable alternatives.

- Most marine litter originates on land as plastic, which does not biodegrade and remains in oceans for hundreds of years, harming marine animals that ingest it by accident.
- Solutions include reducing single-use plastics, improving recycling programs, encouraging producers to use less plastic packaging and helping to cover costs of preventing plastic from reaching oceans. Individual action like bringing reusable bags to stores can help address the global problem of plastic pollution in waterways.
Oceanic trash
The document discusses garbage patches in oceans, specifically the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. It is the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world, located between Hawaii and California. The patch contains debris ranging in size from large abandoned fishing nets to microplastics. It is estimated to cover 1.6 million square kilometers and contain over 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic, weighing around 80,000 tons. The plastic harms marine life and enters the human food chain. Solutions proposed include cleaning up existing patches using interceptor systems and preventing further plastic from rivers by intercepting waste before it reaches the oceans.

Plastic pollution is a serious problem affecting the world's oceans. Over 90% of floating garbage in oceans is plastic, with more than 13 million tons entering the seas each year. By 2030, there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Much of the plastic comes from improper disposal of waste on land that ends up in waterways and oceans. The pollution harms marine life that consumes or becomes entangled in plastic debris. Individual actions like reducing single-use plastics and packaging can help address the problem, and volunteers are working to remove plastic waste from beaches and waterways. While the situation seems dire, it is not too late to make changes and protect ocean environments through collective global efforts.
Green Earth Movement - Water Pollution
This document discusses the issue of water pollution and its causes. It notes that as the human population grows, we are putting increasing pressure on water resources and reducing their quality through pollution. Water pollution comes from many sources, both from direct discharges called point sources like factories, as well as more scattered nonpoint sources. Some of the major causes of water pollution discussed include sewage, excess nutrients from fertilizers and sewage that can cause algal blooms, toxic chemicals from industrial waste and chemicals like heavy metals, and other pollutants that enter water sources from everyday products. Proper treatment and regulation is needed to address this serious and widespread problem.

The Oceano Dunes are minutes away from where I grew up. The sand dunes are the largest remaining dune system south of San Fancisco and the second largest in California. The Dunes are located along a beautiful stretch of land that goes 18 miles along the coastline that extends from southern San Luis Obispo to northern Santa Barbra. Its a very unique environment and because of the giant mounds of sand attracts many visitors. The Dunes are perfect for dirt bikers and people who enjoy off road vehicle use. The dunes also are the only area in California where people can legally drive on the beach. Every year two million people come to the dunes and tens of thousands of trucks and off-highway vehicles are driven on the Dunes. This is horrible for the environment and brings up a lot of controversy. No other location in San Luis Obispo and perhaps no other state park generates as many environmental impacts. The topics of controversy not only includes the delicate ecosystem but air quality and littering.
One of the most worrisome conflicts concerning the Oceano Dunes is the air pollution. Nipomo Mesa is directly downwind of the Oceano Dunes State Vehicular Recreation area and it has the worst particulate pollution in the county. Larry Allen who is the San Luis Obispo county air pollution control officer says “ The Mesa is violating every state and federal level for particulate matter on a regular basis.” The Air Pollution Control District is beginning a yearlong monitoring program along with experts from UC Davis to find the source of the pollution. They are trying the determine if it is the amount of pollution is caused by the off road vehicle use or perhaps strong winds blowing off a large area of sand dunes. Although it is figured it is the large amount of vehicle use.
Another concerning factor is illegal dumping by ATV’s. Many campers instead of dumping their tank of sewage at a dumping zone will dump their tanks into the sand. This is illegal but many people do it because having a empty tank will decrease the weight and increase their gas milage on the way home. Dumping any kinds of liquid is illegal in any state park. Liquids could leave behind many harmful pollutants. Rangers say it is impossible to estimate how much illegal dumping goes on but are hoping it is going down because in recent years Oceano is now offering free dumping sites. There are also fines for dumping and they can be up to $3,400.
In the Oceano Dunes there are a handful of endangered birds and fish. Protecting these species is incredibly important and is the focus of many environmentalists. There are been lawsuits that blame the state for not protecting these species and pleading for more protection. Two shore birds, the Western snowy plover and the least tern nest primarily on the open sand. This happens to be where people camp and drive their ATVs. Park officials are trying to ...

Holl - Water Pollution
Water pollution is a major problem that affects many water sources. Stormwater is not treated before entering waterways, carrying contaminants from yards that can pollute lakes and streams. Most water pollution comes from land-based activities, and 40-46% of rivers and lakes are too polluted for safe activities. Each year, 25% of US beaches face advisories or closures due to pollution. Half the world's population faces problems with drinking water pollution. The document encourages individuals to reduce pollution through proper waste disposal and conservation efforts.

Water pollution is a major global issue. Only 1% of the world's water is accessible freshwater, yet water usage is exceeding natural replenishment rates. Nearly half of the world's population lacks access to clean drinking water. Common causes of water pollution include agricultural runoff containing fertilizers and pesticides, oil spills, trash dumping, and untreated sewage. To help address this problem, organizations work on conservation efforts and treating contaminated water sources. Individual actions like reducing water usage and properly disposing of waste can also make a difference.

The document discusses beach pollution and proposes developing an automatic beach cleaning robot. Beach pollution reduces tourism and impacts marine life and human health. Plastics and litter pollute over 60% of beaches globally. The objectives of the robot are to efficiently and cost-effectively clean beaches. It will use mechanisms to collect garbage and debris and separate waste from sand to quickly clean large areas. The robot will address issues with current manual cleaning methods. Literature on previous litter collection robots and intelligent trash bins was reviewed to inform the robot's design and functions. A block diagram outlines the robot's overall system. The robot aims to make beaches safer and more aesthetically pleasing for visitors.
Ocean Pollution Essay
Ocean Pollution Essay
Everything in this world we use comes from the ocean in some way. The air we breathe, the water we drink, even the products we use day to day, would not be possible without the ocean. That s why the issue of ocean pollution is so important and needs to be addressed as soon as possible. We depend on the ocean for so much in our life, without it we would surely become extinct. People seem to think that since the ocean is so large and vast, we can dump as much waste as we d like into it and it will never have an effect on us. However, since we ve been polluting the ocean as far back as Roman times, the evidence of ocean pollution becoming a major problem is all too clear.
There are many different ways the ocean can become polluted....show more content...Fishnets improperly discarded into the ocean can also cause major issues, tangling into unsuspecting mammals and fish. According to the Marin Academy s Oceanography website, there are over 46,000 pieces of plastic floating in each square mile of ocean off the Northeast coast of the United States, which contributes to the death of 100,000 marine mammals and two millions sea birds yearly.
A way you wouldn t expect pollution to be caused is by noise. The pressure from the sounds omitted by ships, sonar devices, oil rigs, and earthquakes can disrupt communication, hunting, migration, and reproduction patterns from many marine animals like whales and dolphins. This can throw the whole system off balance. Air pollution can also cause ocean pollution by being absorbed into the water and contaminating it, and vice versa. Ocean pollution can eventually cause air pollution. Dirt can also spill into waterways from top soil or silt from fields or construction sites, causing endangerment to fish and wildlife habitats.
Out of all of these ways, oil spills can cause a noticeably excessive amount of damage to the ocean. Although only 12% of the oil entering the sea is caused by spills, they can deteriorate ocean life and environment more than any other pollution. One gallon of used oil spilled into the ocean, which contains toxic chemicals and heavy metals severely dangerous to the micro organism at the base of the food chain, can cause an eight acre layer
