solution for water pollution
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Surface runoff of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers into water bodies changes a water body's natural ecosystem. These chemicals can kill plants, insects, and animals in and around the affected waters, as well as create an environment that is costly to recover. Additionally, the reach of the contaminated water is magnified when one considers that water flows from one source to another until it reaches the ocean. With each populated area that contaminated water passes, it picks up more chemicals and pollutants. The polluted water also often makes its way into the water tables and the public water system, which means it's in the drinking water you access.
dirt handsThe simplest solution for water pollution prevention is to be responsible with any chemical use:
Read and explicitly follow the directions for mixing and use.
Use organic options whenever possible. Check your local stormwater division for suggestions.
Prevent spills. As spills are generally accidental, prepare in advance to contain and absorb the solution if there is a spill.
Don't leave the unused chemicals exposed to weather. Dispose of the leftover chemicals and container properly per the product instructions, or check with your local municipality.
Do not apply near water systems such as wells, streams, lakes, or curb inlets/drains.
*Note: these guidelines also apply to other chemicals, such as oil and even soaps and detergents.
Water Pollution Solution #2 - Minimize Stormwater Runoff
eco matWhether a small home-based project or a large commercial construction project with a little advanced planning, you can minimize water pollution from stormwater runoff on your property or site and avoid costly fines. Any soil that's exposed without some sort of erosion control in place is subject to wind and water erosion. Even though sediment erosion is a natural form of water pollution, it has more of an impact than you realize. Sediment in an aquatic environment screens out sunlight, changes the water temperatures, inhibits photosynthesis (which leads to the decline of plant growth), disrupts the food chain, and ultimately leads to a decline of species in the water ecosystem. Depending on the duration of exposure, there are several practical choices available for protecting exposed soil:
Seed, even if just temporarily, or sod the exposed area.
Surround the area with properly installed Silt Fence to contain and control the erosion.
Or cover the exposed area with any combination of:
Natural fabric, such as Coir Coconut Fiber and Straw Netting, blankets or rolls
Geotextile Fabric
Rip rap (such as gravel)
*Note: It is best to use an underlayment of geotextile in conjunction with these water pollution solutions.
Water Pollution Solution #3 - Filter Runoff
filter runoffWhere stormwater lands in ditches or culverts, a check dam or Ditch Check can be used to filter the runoff, preventing sediment pollution and trash from exiting the property. Standing waters such as ponds, trenches, and holding areas can be filtered using Dewatering Products (pictured right) where water is pumped into the bag, capturing any sediment and releasing the water.
Water Pollution Solution #4 - Contain Spills
spill clean upAlthough a small leak from your car or a storage drum may seem minor, it is extremely important to absorb or contain those spills to keep them from entering the watershed as harmful pollutants. Secondary containment berms and basins help catch and contain hazmat leaks and spills for proper disposal. Products such as Foam Wall Spill Berms allow access for vehicles to drive onto the berm to contain leaky vehicles, while there are also Mini Spill Berms to store drums, paint containers, fuel tanks, or other hazmat materials.
Absorbent boom, pads, and socks are another solution for both land based and water spills. While working with ANY hazardous materials, it's smart to always keep Spill Kits and Absorbents nearby to quickly absorb oil, chemicals, or fuel. They can be placed on or around spills, or underneath drips to prevent further spreading.
Because oil cannot dissolve in water, spilled oil can turn into sludge which is ingested by marine mammals, clings to feathers of birds, suffocates fish, blocks sunlight for plants, and ultimately impacts the entire food chain. The most publicized oil spills are often those which occur in the ocean, however, freshwater oil spills are much more common and more directly impact humans and our environments. To stop an oil spill in water from spreading, floating containment boom is designed to block the spread of oil and contain it to a manageable area. Once contained, oil skimmers can be used to remove the oil that floats on the water.
