What cause water pollution? Why is it a problem?
Answers
Water pollution is a problem because it pollutes the water and if the water is polluted it is wasted and it may create a big problem for the next generation
Contamination
of both the underground and surface water is called water pollution. Contamination
makes water unfit for use. Domestic wastes and untreated industrial effluents
emptied into water bodies cause water pollution. Polluted water may contain bacteria,
parasites, viruses, sewage, animal wastes, toxic chemicals etc. Toxic wastes include
pesticides, fungicides, insecticides and many other non-biodegradable carcinogenic
solid wastes. Water pollution is a serious problem because it leads to a lot of
water-borne diseases like jaundice, diarrhea, malaria, amoebic dysentery, etc.
Water, as we know is already a scarce resource. Water pollution makes it
difficult for us to get even clean drinking water. It therefore becomes our
duty to conserve water and prevent further pollution.
