Water is undoubtedly the most precious natural resource that exists on earth. It’s essential for everything on our planet o grow and prosper. Although we recognize this fact, disregard it by polluting our rivers, lake and ocean. We are slowly but surely harming our planet to the point where innocent organisms are dying even at this very moment.
Also our drinking water has become greatly affected and soon we will have to think about ourselves. In order to combat Water pollution occur when a body of water is adversely affected due to the addition of large amounts of pollutant materials to the water. When it is unfit for its intended use, water is considered polluted.
These harmful substances can either emitted directly into a body of water our indirectly through environmental changes. An example of latte is fertilizer from a field carried into a stream by rain, in the form of run-off, which is very common in agricultural areas.
Estimates suggest that nearly 1.5 billion people lack safe drinking water and that at least 5 million deaths per year can be attributed to waterborne diseases. Raw sewage, garbage and oil spills have diluted the oceans and most coastal waters. Beaches around the world are polluted by sewage disposal and marine wildlife is beginning to suffer. The major sources of water pollution can be classified as municipal, industrial and agricultural waste water runoff. Since the birth of “Chemical Age”, water quality has been heavily impacted worldwide by industrial and agricultural chemical. Pollution of surface water from human and agricultural waste and nutrification of groundwater from agricultural practices has greatly affected part of the World.
Global environmental collapse is not inevitable. But the developed world must work with the developing world to ensure that new industrialized economies do not contribute to the worlds’ environmental problem. Politician must think of sustainable development rather than economic expansion. Conservation strategies have to become more widely accepted, and people must learn that energy use can be dramatically diminished without sacrificing comfort. In short, with the technology that currently exists, the years of global environmental mistreatment can begin to be reversed.
