Water pollution is distributed globally, affecting various water bodies and ecosystems. It arises from point sources like industrial discharges and sewage outlets, as well as non-point sources such as agricultural runoff and atmospheric deposition. Urban areas often contribute pollutants through stormwater runoff. Contaminants can be dispersed by rivers, currents, and atmospheric processes, impacting lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater. Regional variations occur based on industrialization, population density, agricultural practices, and regulatory measures. International waters may also face pollution challenges due to cross-border influences. Addressing water pollution requires coordinated efforts at local, national, and international levels.
