Water pollution is the contamination of water sources by substances which make the water unusable for drinking, cooking, cleaning, swimming, and other activities. Pollutants include chemicals, trash, bacteria, and parasites.

4. Water is one of the inevitable elements in our daily life. One
of the studies conducted in Archiv Fur Kriminologie
concluded like this. Humans will not be able to live more
than 8 to 21 days without water. This conclusion points out
the necessity of saving and conserving water. As we all
know, almost 71 percent of the earth's surface is water-
covered. But in this, only 1 percent is freshwater which is
accessible to us. This reality again emphasizes the
importance of saving water and preventing water pollution.
Introduction

5. In simple words, it is the contamination of usable water by
harmful substances like chemicals or microorganisms by
any means. On the other hand, activities reducing the
quality of water are called water pollution.
Freshwater sources like rivers, lakes, and ponds are getting
polluted in the name of industrialization. For instance,
domestic wastes, food processing wastes, livestock
operations can leads to the contamination of freshwater
sources. Apart from all these, we humans pollute freshwater
sources like ponds, rivers, and water streams by throwing
household wastes and scraps into them.
What is Water Pollution?

6. Without any doubt, we can say that freshwater sources
around us are getting polluted every day. Industrialization is
one of the reasons for water pollution. The majority of the
factories are dumping wastes, garbages, and sewages into
nearby rivers, ponds, or lakes. The minority reprocess and
resues the wastewater and substandard water.
Corporate industries are not worried about the
surroundings and people living nearby. The ignorance and
irresponsibility of the municipality and responsible people
make the situation even worse.
How does the water get polluted?

7. Industries and factories use water for many purposes. Without water, manufacturing and production can't
exist. They use water for cleaning, cooling, washing, dyeing, and treatments for manufacturing and
production processes. Water pollution is happening behind all industrial activities. In that, textile industries
are the biggest polluters on the planet. Studies say that one-fifth of the world's industrial water pollution
comes from textile mills. For example, in China, 25% of water pollution happens through textile dyeing and
treatments. Almost more than 25000 types of chemicals are mixed and used in the dyeing process of
fabrics. These mixed chemicals are thrown away from the facility to any of the flowing water bodies.
The reason behind not building proper recycling and reusing units is because of high maintenance costs
and implementing costs. If the companies and factories do the right thing, the pollution will come down to
half. None of the government authorities check these requirements while approving the factories to
operate. Some factories produce mixed water as a byproduct of the chemical reactions that happened
from their day-to-day industrial activities. This water contains chemicals substances that can be dangerous
to us.
Wastewater from Factories & Industries

8. It is common knowledge that oil and water never dissolve completely. But it can be together like that for a
long time. Oil act as a cover when it spilled on water. It can remain as long they want and thereby making it
polluted. Oil spills and leakages happen very often in oceans. Sometimes from the ships that transport oil
or from drilling and mining operations held underwater or seashores. These are also some of the main
causes of water pollution.
Oil Leaks & Spills
It is rare but happens often. When it comes to the massive use of pesticides and chemicals in agricultural
lands. It becomes one of the causes of water pollution. The chemicals and pesticides dissolve in the soil
after a couple of weeks. Through this, the loam gets saturated with chemicals and pesticides. When the
monsoon comes, these chemicals and pesticides come out with rainwater and flows to any of the water
resources like wells, ponds, rivers, and sea. It causes one of the dangerous water pollutions if we consume
this water.
Use Of Chemicals & Pesticides In Agriculture.

9. Humans cannot survive without drinking water. So it is our duty and responsibility to save and protect
water from being polluted. Without drinking water, humans and animals will die. What will happen if we do
not do anything? Well, right now we might have enough water resources and backups. But in the coming
future, there will be a scarcity of drinking water even if we have hundreds of water purification or
processing plants. So it is better to save water resources and water right now when we can.
Do you think we can survive on the earth without water? No, we cannot. It is an essential factor that holds
our life. Even animals will die if the freshwater sources are over. There will be no animals and living
organisms left if the water pollution rises on a huge scale. So, it is our responsibility to protect freshwater
sources from being polluted. As said earlier, the volume of fresh water on the earth is decreasing every
single day. It is better to save water being wasted and polluted whenever we can. For instance, think about
you are walking on a road and see a broken public water pipeline and leaks water leaks heavily. As a man
who understands the value of water, we should call the respective authorities and inform them. Because
they may not know about the broken pipe and water is being wasted.
Why Do We Need To Save Water?

10. By implementing proper waste management facilities, we can reduce
water pollution to a considerable amount. The cause of the
continuous increase in water pollution is the indigent waste
management systems in factories, companies, and homes. As well as
a brainy human being, stop throwing wastes mainly into water
sources like ponds and rivers.
As a single human being, we have limited control over the rate of
water pollution. But as a group of human beings, we can control the
rate of water pollution to a substantial amount. So what we need can
do is, we can aware people around us about water pollution and its
future outcomes.
How Can We Prevent Water Pollution?

11. It is our duty to conserve water from pollution. The fun fact is, nobody is even thinking about saving or
protecting it for the coming generation. There might be plenty of water resources right now. But if its
keeps getting polluted at a rapid rate, it is sure that these water streams would not last much in the
future.
It is effortless to say that save water and prevent water pollution. But when it comes to daily practicality,
none of us think about protecting water. We all do things that pollute our precious water sources. For
instance, we all throw household garbages and plastic wastes into nearby rivers and ponds. Sometimes,
we throw garbages into lands where it somehow reaches the water bodies through rain or water flow
after a couple of months or years. In short, each one of us is responsible for water pollution in some ways
with or without knowledge.
What Each One Of Us Can Do?

12. CONCLUSION
Water pollution stems from many
sources and causes, only a few of which
are discussed here. Rivers and streams
demonstrate some capacity to recover
from the effects of certain pollutants,
but lakes, bays, ponds, sluggish rivers,
and oceans have little resistance to the
effects of water pollution.
