Water pollution ppt
Water pollution occurs when contaminants are released into water sources, degrading water quality for other uses. There are two main types of water pollution: surface water pollution which impacts oceans, rivers and lakes, and groundwater pollution which impacts underground sources. Water pollution can be caused by sewage, industrial waste, marine dumping, and other sources, and has negative effects on the environment, humans, and animals, including toxic water, diseases, and animal deaths. Individual actions like conserving water, proper fertilizer use, and cleanups can help reduce water pollution.
