Contaminated by invisible
chemicals unseen by naked
eye
Pollution water cannot be used for
drinking because it contains chemical
or other germs that can make you
sick.

water pollution happens when

different particles, chemicals, and
other substances cause the water to
become dirty
 Pollution Caused Through
Natural Processes

Eruption of a Volcano Silt from storms and floods

Water Pollution caused by
humans :
Sewage, fertilizers from farms, chemicals and litter
Pollution flows directly into bodies of water from places
like factories. Other times, it happens when rain water
mixes with unsafe chemicals. This dirty rainwater
eventually makes its way into oceans rivers, lakes, or
streams
 We can't drink salt water from the ocean,
water pollution causes many problems for the
aquatics living there, and has major negative
effects on the environment
 Pollution is visible in the water like when there's an oil spill or
floating patches of garbage. But other times, it can look just as
clean as water that's safe to drink. What about water from a
lake river or stream? It might look clean, but it should be
purified or boiled before you drink it.
Nearly 17 billion pounds of
plastic is dumped into the
ocean each year.
.
70 percent of earth's surface is covered by water,
most of it is the ocean, only 2.5 of the water is fresh
and even less is accessible for us to drink.
.
Over one billion
people on our
planet do not
have access to
clean water
sources.
