Water pollution is the Pollution of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). It is mainly a type of pollution. This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutantsare directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.
Water is essential to human life. Your body needs water for hydration and to facilitate various functions of the body such as digestion, metabolism, and elimination of waste. However, one of the biggest problems of mankind today is the poor quality of water in many parts of the world.
There are many Diseases caused by water pollution like Cholera, Amoebiasis (Traveller’s Diarrhea), Dysentery, Diarrhea, Hepatitis A etc.
These diseased may lead to death or serious health problem sometimes. So, everyone should drink clean and clean water only and should take necessary steps to stop water pollution.
Sources of Water Pollution for Indian Rivers are:
1) Industrial wastes: The rejected goods or the wastage of the mills, factories and workshops fall into the lakes, rivers or seas and pollute that water.
The rejected discharge of large industries such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates and such like organic matters as well as copper, lead, chromium, zinc, mercury, inorganic sulphur compound, phosphorus and other poisonous things mix with the water and pollute it.
2) Domestic garbage and wastes: Water mixed with soap and detergents used in domestic chores are the main causes of water pollution. The garbage kept deposited for long on the ground in the urban areas produce poisonous chemicals and bacteria, that infect the river water, the terrestrial water bodies of all sorts.
3) Thermal power stations: The ebullient water that comes out from the thermal power stations, nuclear power plants or from the iron and steel industries to fall into the river or lake or sea make the water of the receiving water-bodies so hot that the aquatic life-stream there perishes.
4) Acid rain: When Sulphur and Nitrogen Oxide, Sulphate and Nitrate salt mix with rain water, it is called acid rain. This rain water pollutes the water of any water body, like pond or canal, lake or river.
5) Agricultural Chemicals: Modern mode of agriculture includes use of excessive chemical fertilizers, insecticides and many other chemicals to kill the unwanted plants and weeds. These chemical are left lying on the soil. During watering the field on raining, these chemicals go deep down into the soil and pollute the subterranean water.
6) Natural phenomena: Soil erosion, Landslide, erosion of the coastal land, volcanic eruption, etc. cause the harmful things in the soil to mix with the water in the soil and pollute it dangerously. These besides, the refuse coming out during extracting and processing of Uranium and Thorium pollutes water.

Water pollution is a type of pollution that occured in water vai wastes that is throw by man in the River, Lakes,e.t.c.
And the source of water pollution is listed below:
1.Wastes like plastic,bottel,dust and etc.
2.The other main source is swages and man holes all the swages and man holes are connect to the ocean so,that the other main source that pollution in water level are increase is swages and man holes.
3.And also a factory and industry waste are thrwo in river that is also a main reason that increase a pollution in water level.
I HOPE IT HELP YOU.DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE GEART SHAPE BUTTON AND FOLLOW ME.
