INTRODUCTION
« Water is a precious resource and without it life is not
possible on earth.
* Water is getting polluted day by day due to excessive
and careless use so the percent of available drinking
water is reducing.
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. 4Sources 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

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
