There are many ways which causes water pollution and the effects of it are very harmful for all living and non living objects. i | Water Pollution e Water pollution can be defined as presence of solid, liquid or gaseous contaminants in such concentration that may alter the quality of water. e Water pollution is defined as the addition to water of an excess material or heat that is harmful to the living organism or which impairs the beneficial use of water. What is water — Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater), very often by human activities. It occurs when pollutants (particles, chemicals or substances that make water contaminated) are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without enough treatment to get rid of harmful compounds. 4 Sources of Water Pollution There are various classifications of water pollution. The two chief sources of water pollution can be seen as Point and Non-Point. Causes of Water Pollution The principal sources of water pollution resulting from exploration and production operations are: Domestic waste Sewage System Solid Waste Industrial Waste Acid Rain Oil Industry Aquatic Plants SEA IN eer || Effects of Water Pollution The effects of water pollution are varied and depend on what chemicals are dumped and in which locations. Many water bodies near urban areas (cities and towns) are highly polluted. This is the result of both garbage dumped by individuals and dangerous chemicals legally or illegally dumped by manufacturing industries, health centers, schools and market places. rs of Water Ponutione 1.
