This document discusses water pollution and its various types. It introduces water pollution as the contamination of water bodies that occurs directly or indirectly when pollutants are discharged without adequate treatment. The types of water pollution discussed include surface water, ground water, microbiological, oxygen depletion, nutrient, suspended matter, and chemical pollution. The document also outlines causes of water pollution like sewage, industrial waste, and agricultural runoff, and effects like harm to wildlife and ecosystems as well as human health impacts. Ways to prevent water pollution mentioned are proper waste disposal, reducing plastic use, conserving water, and choosing environmentally-friendly products.

2. 2Water PollutionIntroduction : Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.

3. Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water and in almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and populations, but also to the natural biological communities.The earth's water supply97.2% of the Earth's water supply is salt water.

4. Only 2.8% is fresh water!Water Pollution3

12. We can see it floating on our waters in lakes, streams, and oceans.

13. Trash from human consumption, such as water bottles, plastics and other waste products, is most often evident on water surfaces.

14. Also comes from oil spills and gasoline waste, which float on the surface and affect the water and its inhabitants.Ground Water Pollution6Water PollutionThis type of pollution is becoming more and more relevant because it affects our drinking water and the aquifers below the soil.

15. Groundwater pollution is usually caused by highly toxic chemicals and pesticides. It leak through the ground to contaminate the wells and aquifers below the surface.

16. Microbiological Pollution7Water PollutionMicrobiological pollution is the natural form of water pollution that is caused by microorganisms in uncured water.

17. Most of these organisms are harmless but some bacteria, viruses, and protozoa can cause serious diseases such as cholera and typhoid.

18. This is a significant problem for people in third world countries who have no clean drinking water and/or facilities to cure the water. Oxygen Depletion Pollution8Water PollutionMany wastes are biodegradable, that is, they can be broken down and used as food by microorganisms like bacteria.9Water PollutionNutriet Pollution Nutrients are usually found in wastewater and fertilizers.
