Water pollution is the most dangerous and worst form of pollution putting lives in danger. The water we drink daily looks very clear however contains verities of microscopic pollutants floating in it. Our earth is covered with water (almost 70% of total) so a little change in it could affect lives worldwide.

The highest level of water pollution is caused by the pollutants come from agriculture field because of the high use of fertilizers, insecticides, and pesticides to enhance the production of crops. We need to bring vast improvements in the type of chemicals we use in the agriculture. Oil is another big pollutant polluting the water. Leaked oil from the land or rivers, oil transport through ships, ship crashes, etc flows to the sea or ocean and affecting whole water. Other hydrocarbon particles get settled down through rain water from air to ocean or sea water. Other toxic wastes through leakage of landfills, old mines, dumps, sewage, industrial wastes, and farms get mixed to the water.

The river basin is the land surrounding a river and all water over the said area feeds into that river. Activities at the upstream affect downstream neighbours regardless of municipal boundaries and jurisdictions. Environmental authorities and activists hope that people will change their habits and stop pollution once they understand that any liquid poured on the ground or into the drains will go into the river downstream. In an interview conducted a few years ago, GEC found that less than 30% of people in Kuala Lumpur knew that the drain in front of their house led to the river. Basically, if we pour curry into our kitchen sink and the sink connects to the drain, it goes to the river.

Our drains are only meant to channel rainwater to rivers and reduce flood risk. Polluting and clogging our drains with rubbish will not only pollute our main source of drinking water but will create a potential breeding ground for pests. Activities such as drain clean-ups, drain stenciling and pollution mapping can be organised to educate our community on the importance of having clean drains .
