Water pollution is caused by the intentional or unintentional release of toxic chemicals/materials, contaminants and harmful compounds into various bodies of water
such as rivers, lakes and the oceans.

Water pollution may be caused by any hazardous substance or material that makes contact with the earths water supply.




Causes of water pollution

1) Water pollution may be caused by the intentional or unintentional disposal of hazardous chemicals and materials into a body of water.

2) Rainfall may cause polluted landscapes to disperse their poisonous materials into the water and poison the surrounding water.

3) Water pollution may also be caused by specific points or contributing factors such as large factories, oil refineries, construction sites, chemical waste management facilities, dump sites and other large scale operations that store/produce large amounts of chemical/hazardous waste.




Ways to prevent it

•Keep your car well maintained and immediately service it if you notice any oil leaking from the car.

•Replace your air fresheners with eco-friendly candles, incense and/or potpourri.

•Purchase environmentally friendly cleaning products that do not harm the land if they happen to be flushed or emptied into a drain

•Reduce the amount of power you use and purchase energy saving light bulbs and appliances.

•This helps reduce the amount of emissions being released by utility companies and your own home products.

•Conserve your water usage and don’t leave water running when you are not using it.

•Reduce, recycle & reuse materials that you have purchased. Plastics and papers may be sent to the recycling bin while some of your glass materials may be able to be reused or re-purposed.

•Make sure non recyclable waste is contained properly so that it does not spill into the land, street drain sewage drain.

•Purchase local food that has been grown from healthy agricultural farms that don’t use polluting fertilizers and pesticides.

•Purchase eco-friendly lawn fertilizers and pesticides for your own lawn in order to prevent your lawn from becoming toxic and prevent possible hazardass chemicals from entering street drains.
