There are many ways that water can become polluted. Some of the most common ways include: direct disposal of waste into water bodies, contamination from land sources where the pollutants leak into groundwater, runoff from agricultural and urban landscapes, animal waste that harbors pathogens, and
through acid rain (air pollutants such as mercury precipitate down into water bodies when it rains)¹.

Water-polluting chemicals can be natural or manmade. Even if they are not obviously detected by our senses, they may still be present in water. Common chemical pollutants include pesticides, chlorinated solvents, petroleum chemicals, mercury, PCBs, dioxins, persistent organic pollutants, and many other industrial chemicals¹.

Water pollution can also be caused by living organisms. Pathogenic organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and intestinal worms can originate from animal or human waste....
