Water pollution causes the following tangible and intangible losses.
Explanation:
Water pollution is caused when the composition of water changes and makes it unfit for drinking, cleaning, agriculture, and other similar activities. Polluted water causes diseases like dysentery and typhoid due to the presence of contaminants.
Tangible losses impact the economy- damage to property, effect on wages, rehabilitation, and medical expenses arising from pollution of water bodies. Eg- medical expenses for diseases arising due to water pollution.
Intangible losses impact the non-economical aspects like cultural, social, and resource-based factors. Eg- loss of biodiversity.
