Answer:

  There are many causes for water pollution but two general categories exist: direct and indirect contaminant sources :-

  Direct sources include effluent outfalls from factories, refineries, waste treatment plants etc.. that emit fluids of varying quality directly into urban water supplies. In the United States and other countries, these practices are regulated, although this doesn't mean that pollutants can't be found in these waters.

Consequences of  water pollution are following :-

  • Destruction of aquatic flora and fauna. There are countless species of plants and animals which depend upon water for their survival, making them the most susceptible to water pollution. ...
  • Drinking water supplies.
  • Food chain disruption.
  • Agriculture.
  • Economic downturns.
