What is Water Pollution ?

Water Pollution

  Water pollution means the contamination of water of  the river's canals and ponds . Water is called life because human beings , plants and animals cannot live without water.

There are two types of water pollution .

1.Organic pollution due to microorganisms - bacteria and viruses - present in the water, generated by excrement, animal and vegetable waste

2.Chemical pollution generated by the nitrates and phosphates of pesticides, human and animal drugs, household products, heavy metals, acids and hydrocarbons used in industries

The reason for water pollution

There are many reasons for water pollution . Water is polluted in many ways. 

At first , man is most  responsible for water pollution .Man  pollutes water by throwing waste into it . Secondly the farmer's use chemical fertilizers and insecticides in their field . Then rain and floods wash away some of these chemicals . Then they get mixed with water in rivers , canals and ponds . the water is polluted in this way . Mills and factories use many poisonous chemicals .They throw waste products into rivers and canals and thus pollute water . Steamers , motor launches and even engine -driven boats pollute water by throwing oil , food waste and human waste into the rivers .Water is also polluted by river erosion and sediment from soil . Here I have enlisted few reasons for water pollution  but except these reasons there are many other things that are responsible for water pollution . 

How will we suffer for water pollution ?

It is a matter of great sorrow that man will be the worst sufferer for water pollution . First I want to mention that human beings cannot live without water . We become sick by drinking polluted water .polluted water causes water borne disease like diarrhoea ,cholera etc .It even causes death . There are many examples of this situation . Polluted water is harmful for our internal body system .If this process continues I think there will be no safe water for drinking . I think now you can understand how much we will suffer for water pollution .

What can we do now ?

There are many things that we can do to prevent water pollution . We can prevent water pollution by taking measures . Mills and factories must have treatment plants . The effluent must be treated before they fall into rivers and canals .We can also prevent water pollution by raising public awareness . I think almost every single person in the world should take proper steps from his/her position to prevent water pollution . Ii is not only a personal problem but also a global problem .

At last I think all the viewers can understand what I am trying to say . Please share this blog to other people to spread awareness .
