Answer:
Garbage dumped in waterways pollutes the environment. They act as nutrients, promoting algal development. As these algae die, they provide food for bacteria and other microbes. The bacteria depletes the water's oxygen supply. For aquatic creatures, a shortage of oxygen is detrimental and may result in death.
Explanation:
Garbage comprises unpleasant, damaging, toxic, and dangerous substances.
- They have a negative impact on the aquatic ecology.
- It can raise the water's BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), lowering the dissolved oxygen concentration in the process. Many fragile aquatic species will perish as a result of this.
- It can also alter the water's nutritional composition, resulting in algal blooming (excessive algae growth) and the death of other species (due to reduced food availability).
- It can also produce Bio-magnification, or a rise in the concentration of harmful substances in aquatic plants and animals.
