Question

What causes water pollution? Why is it a problem????

Answer 1

Heya!!

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.
