Answer:
Explanation:
✓Water pollution occurs when harmful substances—often chemicals or microorganisms—contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water, degrading water quality and rendering it toxic to humans or the environment.
Cause
The main water pollutants include bacteria, viruses, parasites, fertilisers, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, nitrates, phosphates, plastics, faecal waste and even radioactive substances. These substances do not always change the colour of the water, meaning that they are often invisible pollutants.
Measures
>DO NOT pour fat from cooking or any other type of fat, oil, or grease down the sink.
>DO NOT dispose of household chemicals or cleaning agents down the sink or toilet.
>DO NOT flush pills, liquid or powder medications or drugs down the toilet.
>Avoid using the toilet as a wastebasket.
>Avoid using a garbage disposal.

Water pollution is caused when water bodies such as rivers, lakes, oceans, groundwater, and aquifers get contaminated with industrial and agricultural effluents. When water gets polluted, it adversely affects all lifeforms that directly or indirectly depend on this source.
