Introduction[edit]
Pollution
in
the
Lachine
Canal,
Canada
Water
pollution
is
a
major
global
problem
which
requires
ongoing
evaluation
and
revision
of
water
resource
policy
at
all
levels
(international
down
to
individual
aquifers
and
wells).
It
has
been
suggested
that
it
is
the
leading
worldwide
cause
of
deaths
and
diseases,[1][2]
and
that
it
accounts
for
the
deaths
of
more
than
14,000
people
daily.[2]
An
estimated
of
580
people
in
India
die
of
water
pollution
related
sickness
every
day.
[3]
Some
90%
ofChina's
cities
suffer
from
some
degree
of
water
pollution,[4]
and
nearly
500
million
people
lack
access
to
safe
drinking
water.[5]
In
addition
to
the
acute
problems
of
water
pollution
in
developing
countries,
developed
countries
continue
to
struggle
with
pollution
problems
as
well.

Radioactive
substances:
Radioactive
waste
is
any
pollution
that
emits
radiation
beyond
what
is
naturally
released
by
the
environment.
It’s
generated
by
uranium
mining,
nuclear
power
plants,
and
the
production
and
testing
of
military
weapons,
as
well
as
by
universities
and
hospitals
that
use
radioactive
materials
for
research
and
medicine.
Radioactive
waste
can
persist
in
the
environment
for
thousands
of
years,
making
disposal
a
major
challenge.
Consider
the
decommissioned
Hanford
nuclear
weapons
production
site
in
Washington,
where
the
cleanup
of
56
million
gallons
of
radioactive
waste
is
expected
to
cost
more
than
$100
billion
and
last
through
2060.
Accidentally
released
or
improperly
disposed
of
contaminants
threaten
groundwater,
surface
water,
and
marine
resources.

Using
ozone
to
treat
wastewater
has
many
benefits:
•
Kills
bacteria
effectively.
•
Oxidizes
substances
such
as
iron
and
sulphur
so
that
they
can
be
filtered
out
of
the
solution.
•
There
are
no
nasty
odours
or
residues
produced
from
the
treatment.
•
Ozone
converts
back
into
oxygen
quickly,
and
leaves
no
trace
once
it
has
been
used.
The
disadvantages
of
using
ozone
as
a
treatment
for
wastewater
are:
•
The
treatment
requires
energy
in
the
form
of
electricity;
this
can
cost
money
and
cannot
work
when
the
power
is
lost.
•
The
treatment
cannot
remove
dissolved
minerals
and
salts.
•
Ozone
treatment
can
sometimes
produce
by-
products
such
as
bromate
that
can
harm
human
health
if
they
are
not
controlled.

WATER
POLLUTION
Detailed
of
the
Problem
Water
pollution
can
be
defined
as
“the
contamination
of
water
bodies
such
as
rivers,
lakes,
oceans,
and
underground
water.
Water
covers
71
percent
of
the
earth
and
making
it
source
of
life
for
both
animals
and
human
beings
.it
has
turn
to
be
one
of
the
leading
killers
in
the
world,
killing
14000
people
every
day.
The
human
diseases
caused
by
water
pollution
include
cholera,
typhoid,
dysentery
intestinal
helminthes,
jaundice
and
f
ever.
(Tripath
A.K,
2009)
Nonliving
and
living
factors
that
contribute
to
or
are
affected
by
the
problem
Pollution
occurs
in
many
ways.
First
type
of
water
pollutant
is
putrecible
organic
materials.
These
are
untreated
or
poorly
treated
domestic
and
industrial
waste.
Oxygen
levels
required
to
decompose
this
waste
is
called
biological
oxygen
demand
.a
large
amount
of
biological
oxygen
demand
is
required
to
decompose
industrial
wastes
and
because
of
their
profit
maximization
motive
the
opt
dispose
in
water
to
reduce
cost
of
treatment.
The
wastes
when
directed
to
water
bodies
always
have
catastrophic
effects
on
marine
and
human
life.
The
second
type
of
pollutant
is
excessive
nutrition.
This
is
common
in
agricultural
where
agricultural
runoffs
and
non
biodegradable
detergents
contaminate
water.
This
facilitates
growth
of
phytoplankton.
The
autophication
process
results
in
large
dissolved
oxygen
from
photosynthesis
during
the
day
and
over
utilization
of
oxygen
for
respiratory
purposes
during
the
night.
This
causes
deficiency
of
oxygen
in
water
leading
to
massive
death
of
aquatic
animals.
Suspended
solids
are
also
another
type
of
pollution
in
this
21st
century.
This
is
prevalent
where
land
has
been
disturbed
by
plowing
or
excavation.
Ground
up
wood
fibers
can
also
be
classified
in
this
category
of
suspended
solid
pollution.
There
are
over
65000
industrial
chemicals
in
use
in
the
modern
world
.3-
5
new
chemical
s
enter
the
market
every
day
.the
major
classes
of
chemicals
which
are
harmful
and
find
their
way
through
to
water
sources
are
ammonia,
petroleum
hydrocarbons,
pesticides,
and
detergents.(Heath
A.G,1995)
Another
type
of
water
pollution
is
microbiological
pollution.
This
is
natural
form
of
pollution
caused
by
microorganisms.
They
include
e
bacteria,
viruses
and
protozoa.
They
are
the
major
cause
of
illness
in
human
being
and
animals.
(Canter
w.
L
and
knot
1985)
Positive
or
negative
human
impacts
Human
activities
have
negative
impact
and
contribute
greatly
in
water
pollution.
Industrial
waste
form
the
largest
percentage
of
water
pollution
.nuclear
waste
produced
from
industrial,
medical
and
scientific
process
that
use
radioactive
materials
can
be
very
harmful
when
they
find
they
way
to
water
bodies.
The
major
way
that
makes
radioactive
material
find
their
way
to
water
bodies
is
when
mining
and
refining
uranium
and
thorium.
Increase
in
water
temperature
as
a
result
of
global
warming
causes
death
of
thousand
of
aquatic
organisms
and
destruct
marine
habits.
The
high
temperatures
also
cause
coral
bleaching
around
the
world.
The
corals
expel
microorganisms
which
are
dependent
on
and
hence
leading
to
damage
of
marine
life.
Global
warming
is
as
a
result
of
green
house
effect
which
is
caused
by
burning
of
fossil
fuel
and
deforestation
.the
burning
of
fossil
fuel
produces
green
house
gasses,
for
example,
carbon
dioxide
in
the
atmosphere.
This
traps
heat
from
the
sun
in
the
earth’s
atmosphere
consequently
leading
tom
rise
in
temperatures.
(Goel
P
K,
2006)
Evaluation
of
current
sustainability
strategies
and
solutions
For
development
to
be
both
economically
and
environmentally
viable,
it
should
be
able
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
people
know
and
not
in
any
way
jeopardize
future
generations’
welfare.
The
currently
sustainability
strategies
have
tried
to
certain
extent
to
minimize
water
pollution
and
other
ecological
disasters,
but
they
are
faced
with
a
series
of
impediments.
There
is
poor
integration
of
environmental
sustainability
strategies
into
sector
policies.
National
environmental
strategies
are
usually
developed
separately
from
other
sectoral
strategies
and
therefore
affecting
implementation,
monitoring
and
evaluation
of
these
strategies.
There
is
also
inadequate
institutional
capacity,
misalignment
of
goals
and
poor
governance.
In
many
countries
ministries
of
environment
lack
adequate
know
how
and
technology
to
run
their
strategies
effectively.
They
are
also
impended
by
corruption
and
poor
governance.
Market
failures
can
also
be
attributed
to
environmental
degradation
by
misaligning
the
incentives
of
individuals
and
organizations
that
have
interest
of
the
community
at
large
.there
is
also
underinvestment
in
science
and
technology.
It
is
a
very
important
factor
for
a
country
to
achieve
it
sustainable
development
goals.
It
improves
understanding
and
monitoring
of
the
country’s
environment
through
developing
means
that
mitigate
environmental
degradation.
Another
problem
that
faces
the
current
sustainable
strategies
is
difficult
to
attain
regional
and
international
cooperation.
Every
country
develop
it
sustainability
strategies
in
isolation
due
to
inadequate
regional
and
global
management.
Limited
public
awareness
on
consequences
of
human
induced
changes
to
the
environment
is
another
impediment
in
activity
environmental.
In
order
to
achieve
environmental
sustainability
there
is
need
to
change
ways
in
which
countries
manage
biodiversity,
production
process
and
consumption.
There
is
also
need
for
direct
investment
in
environmental
management
and
also
structural
changes
to
be
done
at
local,
regional
and
international
levels
top
address
root
cause
of
environmental
problems.
Your
plan
to
reach
sustainability
The
best
plan
in
addressing
environmental
problem
is
ecosystem-
based
approach
to
environmental
management,
social
integration,
ecological
and
economic
concern.
This
approach
calls
for
linkage
between
human
activities
and
a
sustainable
functioning
of
ecosystems.
There
should
be
sustainable
agricultural
techniques
that
can
preserve
natural
resources,
restoring
and
managing
water
sources
and
conserving
the
surrounding
natural
habitat.
The
changes
in
agricultural
production
systems
will
go
a
step
ahead
in
reducing
water
pollution
and
other
natural
hazards.
Land
clearing
for
agricultural
purposes
and
logging
should
be
reduced.
This
will
have
a
positive
effect
in
reducing
water
pollution
and
global
warming.
There
should
be
increase
in
real
income
to
people
in
informal
forest
sector
by
200
percent.
This
will
harness
entrepreneurial
spirit
of
the
illegal
loggers,
bush
men
hunters,
wood
carvers
and
traders
to
venture
in
other
legal
businesses.
There
should
be
90
percent
integration
of
ecosystems
management
of
river
basin
systems.
This
will
help
to
protect
and
restore
all
major
forests,
shrub
land
and
pasture
vegetation
types
and
their
biodiversity.
Climate
change
in
recent
years
has
lead
to
increase
e
in
water
scarcity
in
dry
areas
and
floods
in
wet
lands.
This
threatens
households’
subsistence
activities,
agricultural
practices
and
water
ecosystems.
Water
pollution
and
salinization
pose
at
threat
in
both
human
and
aquatic
life.
To
tackle
these
problems
there
is
need
to
reduce
to
reduce
demands
in
cropping
systems,
maintain
pollution
levels
in
surface
water
and
underground
water
sources
are
below
maximum
allowable
levels
for
each
pollutant.
There
should
be
maximum
environmental
flow
so
as
to
maintain
aquatic
biodiversity.
In
recent
years
there
has
been
increase
in
marine
products
and
services
leading
to
degradation
of
inland
habitat
causing
fall
in
fish
stocks,
coral
reefs
and
the
productivity
of
aquatic
ecosystem.
To
protect
marine
reserves
there
should
be
proper
management
of
fisheries
and
constant
process
of
restoring
depleted
fish
population
levels.
To
combat
mismanagement
of
toxic
chemicals
and
poor
energy
practices
which
lead
to
overproduction,
overconsumption
and
mismanagement
of
ecosystem
leading
to
water
pollution.
There
should
be
a
proper
management
of
disposal
systems
so
as
to
reduce
waterborne
diseases.
Activities
such
as
fossil
fuel
combustion
and
deforestation
produce
green
house
gasses
leading
to
world
climatic
changes.
There
should
be
effective
investment
on
cost
effective
and
environmentally
sustainable
energy
sources.
This
will
promote
and
engage
climate
friendly
carbon
and
technology
markets
and
enhance
adaptation
measures.
Benefits
and
challenges
of
your
plan
In
implantation
of
this
plan
there
are
major
challenges
that
impede
the
success
of
the
plan.
One
challenge
is
lack
of
strong
environmental
institutions
and
proper
governance
to
facilitate
effective
implementation
of
this
plan.
To
strengthen
these
institutions
requires
heavy
direct
investment
especially
in
human
resources
and
reforming
institutions’
management
systems
The
second
challenge
is
that
many
countries
lack
adequate
policy
instruments
at
all
levels
in
correcting
market
failures
and
distortions.
In
a
way
that
will
realign
public
and
private
sector
incentives
to
care
for
health
and
welfare
of
the
citizens.
Many
countries
are
capitalistic
in
nature
and
therefore
investors
have
profit
maximization
motives
and
opt
to
use
other
methods
that
don’t
factor
in
social
costs.
Required
government,
societal,
and
global
support
Therefore
to
be
able
to
implement
this
approach
and
attain
sustainable
development
.government,
societal
and
global
support
is
required.
The
government
should
be
able
to
reform
and
strengthen
its
institutions
and
train
adequate
man
power
so
as
to
facilitate
environmental
protection.
This
requires
heavy
direct
investment
that
only
government
and
international
organizations
can
provide.
The
government
also
should
facilitate
proper
formulation
of
environmental
policy
instruments.
This
will
be
able
to
facilitate
in
addressing
market
failures
and
incorporate
cost
of
environmental
degradation
in
account.
The
government
should
be
able
to
introduce
payments
on
ecosystem
services
and
tax
reforms
so
as
to
eliminate
environmental
harmful
subsidies.
The
government
also
should
strengthen
property
and
land-
tenure
rights
and
improve
the
regulation
system.
The
government
and
international
organizations
also
should
cooperate
in
mobilizing
required
science
and
technology
for
sustainable
development.
This
involves
easy
access
to
scientific
and
technical
knowledge.
The
government
should
make
sure
that
there
are
properly
managed
research
institutions
to
provide
technical
solutions
to
problems
related
to
environment
facing
the
society.
In
global
perspective
there
should
be
international
agreements
that
provide
excellent
work
plans
and
a
list
of
priority
of
actions.
International
conventions
should
support
national
interventions
and
provide
necessary scientific knowledge and operational practices available to countries. They should
participate in enforcement, implementation and design of national programs. (Menlick D, 2005) In
conclusion environmental challenges are very unique and complicated. Therefore institutions must be
established in both local and international arena to respond to these challenges and provide
sustainable
solutions. Environmental sustainability is a long term goal and therefore there is need for integration
of
principals of environmental sustainability in all policies and management practices. This requires
structural
changes
and
major
reforms
and
technical
interventions
form
international
conventions. Reference Canter L. W and Knox. 1985. Ground water pollution control. CRC Press.

in
the
fertilizer to nitrates, making it easier for the plants to absorb. Immobilization is a process where the
nitrates
become part of the soil organic matter. When oxygen levels are low, another form of bacteria then
turns the nitrates into gases such as nitrogen, nitrous oxide and nitrogen dioxide. The conversion of
these
nitrates
into
gas is called denitrification. This prevents nitrates from leaching into the soil and contaminating
groundwater. c) Septic tanks and sewage treatment Septic tanks treat sewage at the place where it is
located, rather than transporting the waste through a treatment plant or sewage system. Septic tanks
are
usually
used to treat sewage from an individual building. • Untreated sewage from a property flows into the
septic tank and the solids are separated from the liquid. • Solid material is separated depending on
their
density. Heavier particles settle at the bottom of the tank whereas lighter particles, such as soap
scum, will form a layer at the top of the tank. • Biological processes are used to help degrade the
solid
materials.
•
The
liquid then flows out of the tank into a land drainage system and the remaining solids are filtered
out. d) Ozone wastewater treatment Ozone wastewater treatment is a method that is increasing in
popularity. An ozone generator is used to break down pollutants in the water source. The generators
convert oxygen into ozone by using ultraviolet radiation or by an electric discharge field. Ozone is a
very
reactive gas that can oxidize bacteria, moulds, organic material and other pollutants found in water.

animals
consume plants that have been treated with certain non biodegradable chemicals, such as chlordane
and
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), these chemicals are absorbed into the tissues or organs of
the
animals.
When other animals feed on these contaminated animals, the chemicals are passed up the food chain.
With each step up the food chain, the concentration of the pollutant increases. In one study, DDT
levels
in
ospreys (a family of fish-eating birds) were found to be 10 to 50 times higher than in the fish that
they
ate, 600 times the level in the plankton that the fish ate, and 10 million times higher than in the water.
Animals at the top of food chains may, as a result of these chemical concentrations, suffer cancers,
reproductive problems, and death. Many drinking water supplies are contaminated with pesticides
from
widespread agricultural use. More than 14 million Americans drink water contaminated with
pesticides,
and
the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that 10 percent of wells contain pesticides.
Nitrates, a pollutant often derived from fertilizer runoff, can cause methemoglobinemia in infants, a
potentially lethal form of anemia that is also called blue baby syndrome. c) Heavy Metals Heavy
metals such as copper, lead, mercury, and selenium, get into water from many sources, including
industries, automobile exhaust, mines, and even natural soil. Like pesticides, heavy metals become
more
concentrated as animals feed on plants and are consumed in turn by other animals. When they reach
high
levels
in
the
body, heavy metals can be immediately poisonous, or can result in long-term health problems similar
to
those caused by pesticides and herbicides. For example, cadmium in fertilizer derived from sewage
sludge can be absorbed by crops. If these crops are eaten by humans in sufficient amounts, the metal
can
cause
diarrhea and, over time, liver and kidney damage. Lead can get into water from lead pipes and
solder in older water systems; children exposed to lead in water can suffer mental retardation. d)
Hazardous Wastes Hazardous wastes are chemical wastes that are either toxic (poisonous), reactive
(capable of producing explosive or toxic gases), corrosive (capable of corroding steel), or ignitable
(flammable). If improperly treated or stored, hazardous wastes can pollute water supplies. In 1969

Is the category for this document correct? The reason behind dirty air has to do with pollution.
Pollution includes substances in the environment that are harmful or dangerous for living things.
Besides the air, it can also affect water and the land in general. Different types of pollution include
air, noise, land, and light. Some of these cause only minor issues, but others can lead to serious
problems for all living things. One of the worst kinds is water pollution. Because water is a necessity
of life for all living organisms, polluted water causes a lot of issues in the world. 7. Polluted River in
the United Kingdom The pollution of rivers and streams with chemical contaminants has become
one of the most critical environmental problems of the 20th century. Waterborne chemical pollution
entering rivers and streams comes from two major sources: point pollution and nonpoint pollution.
Point pollution involves those pollution sources from which distinct chemicals can be identified,
such as factories, refineries or outfall pipes. Nonpoint pollution involves pollution from sources that
cannot be precisely identified, such as runoff from agricultural or mining operations or seepage from
septic tanks or sewage drain fields. It is estimated that each year 10 million people die worldwide
from drinking contaminated water. Oxford Scientific Films/Ben Osborne Microsoft ® Encarta ®

pesticides, pathogens, and heavy metals. It should taste good, should be odorless, and should not be
harmful to plumbing and household appliances. The quality of water for industrial use varies widely
depending on the process involved, some process may involved distilled water, other need water that
is not highly corrosive or that is free of particles that could clog or otherwise damage the equipment.
The pollution of rivers and streams with chemical contaminants has become one of the most critical
environmental problems of the century. The marine fisheries supported by ocean ecosystems are an
essential source of protein, particularly for people in developing countries. Water pollution is a major
global problem which requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels
(international down to individual aquifers and wells). It has been suggested that it is the leading
worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000
people daily. An estimated 700 million Indians have no access to a proper toilet, and 1,000 Indian
children die of diarrheal sickness every day. Some 90% of China's cities suffer from some degree of
water pollution, and nearly 500 million people lack access to safe drinking water. In addition to the
acute problems of water pollution in developing countries, developed countries continue to struggle
with pollution problems as well. In the most recent national report on water quality in the United
States, 45 percent of assessed stream miles, 47 percent of assessed lake acres, and 32 percent of
assessed bays and estuarine square miles were classified as polluted. Water is typically referred to as
polluted when it is impaired by anthropogenic contaminants and either does not support a human
use, such as drinking water, and/or undergoes a marked shift in its ability to support its constituent
biotic communities, such as fish. Natural phenomena such as volcanoes, algae blooms, storms, and
earthquakes also cause major changes in water quality and the ecological status of water. 6 6. Water
Cycle The water cycle (or hydrologic cycle) describes the methods of transport for water in the
hydrosphere. This cycle includes water beneath the Earth's surface and in rocks (lithosphere), the
water in plants and animals (biosphere), the water covering the surface of the planet in liquid and
solid forms, and the water in the atmosphere in the form of water vapor, clouds, and precipitation.
Movement of water within the hydrosphere is described by the hydrologic cycle. It is easy to see this
motion in rivers and streams, but it is harder to tell that there is this motion in lakes and ponds. The
characteristics of the ocean that affect its motion are its temperature and salinity. Cold water is
denser than warm water, and salt water is denser than freshwater. The combination of the water's
temperature and salinity determines whether it rises to the surface, sinks to the bottom, or stays at
some intermediate depth. Copyright(c)1999 FC2, Inc. All Rights Reserved. The community at-large

plants, and the production and testing of military weapons, as well as by universities and hospitals
that use radioactive materials for research and medicine. Radioactive waste can persist in the
environment for thousands of years, making disposal a major challenge. Consider the
decommissioned Hanford nuclear weapons production site in Washington, where the cleanup of 56

Your Time for More Important Things 3. 2 DOMESTIC SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION
Domestic Pollution is the pollution caused to the earth by domestic use. Sewage originating primarily
from kitchen, bathroom, and laundry sources, waste from food preparation, dishwashing, garbage,
toilets, baths, showers, and sinks, etc. Sewage disposal is a major problem in developing countries as
many people in these areas don’t have access to sanitary conditions and clean water. Untreated
sewage water in areas without access to sanitary conditions can contaminate the water, which can
result with diseases. DOMESTIC SOURCES: Domestic sewage contains a wide variety of
dissolved and suspended pollutants. The main organic materials are food and vegetable wastes.
Domestic sewage is also very likely to contain disease-causing bacteria, which can travel on any
waste. The various substances that we use for keeping our houses clean add to water pollution
because they contain harmful chemicals. Many detergents and washing powders have phosphates
which are used to soften the water, and do many more things. These and other chemicals contained
in
washing powders affect the health of all forms of life in the water. EFFECTS OF DOMESTIC
POLLUTION: Bathers are at increased risk of catching any illness from bacteria and viruses in the
sewage effluent. Shellfish breathe water through their gills, but have to strain to trap microscopic
plants and animals for food. If the water was contaminated with disease-causing bacteria, these
could be consumed as food by shellfish. When eaten raw or somewhat cooked, these shellfish can
make
people sick. Certain fish in contaminated waters can develop high levels of toxic substances. When
these foods are taken in frequently over a lifetime, they may increase the risk of unwanted health
effects. Detergents can cause liver and kidney damage, while sewage water carries diseases that may
be extremely harmful to the human body, and all of the sea life around the area. AGRICULTURAL
SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION Water pollution due to agricultural runoff refers to biotic and
abiotic by products of farming practices that result in contamination of water. The pollution may
come from a variety of sources, ranging from point source pollution (from a single discharge point)
to
more diffuse, landscape-level causes, also known as non-point source pollution. Agricultural
nonpoint source (NPS) pollution is the leading source of water quality impacts to rivers and lakes.
MAIN SOURCES: Runoff from barnyards, feedlots and cropland carries away manure, fertilizers,
ammonia, pesticides, livestock waste, oil, toxins from farm equipment, soil and sediment can cause
deficiency of oxygen in water, killing all of the animals and fish. Nitrates also soak into the ground
and
end up in drinking water. 0.01% of the waters of the earth occur in river channels. Inspite of these
low quantities, Chapter 5-Water: There`s No Substitute Students will work with a partner for the
activity. Using the supplies you provide, they will create a poster that encourages people to prevent
water
pollution. They will need to be creative and use words, images, logo, and slogans to demonstrate
why this is important. In addition to a catchy title and the images and slogans, they should include
facts that relate to the concept of preventing pollution. After they complete their poster, they will
respond to three questions at the bottom of the worksheet. × Green agricultural practice techniques
like crop rotation, mulching, planting perennial crops, contour plowing, and installing silt fences can
minimize the effects. Commercial fertilizers and animal manure applied to agricultural lands contain
nitrates and phosphates that are washed off into water bodies. Likewise, pesticides and herbicides
have chemical contaminants that are washed into the lakes, rivers, and oceans by storm water. 7.

and
around 900 people die. Many disease-causing organisms that are present in small numbers in most
natural waters are considered pollutants when found in drinking water. Such parasites as Giardia
lamblia and Cryptosporidium parvum occasionally turn up in urban water supplies. These parasites
can cause illness, especially in people who are very old or very young, and in people who are already
suffering from other diseases. In 1993 an outbreak of Cryptosporidium in the water supply of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, sickened more than 400,000 people and killed more than 100. 13 to mankind

The
Water
Pollution
lesson
plan
contains four pages of content. The first page provides students with some background information
on
what
pollution
is
and
why it is bad. All living organisms need food, oxygen, and water to survive. The main source of
oxygen
for
humans
is
the
air. If that air is not clean, however, it can cause health issues. People with asthma, for instance, have
a
hard time breathing when the air is dirty. In some countries, the air quality is bad enough that people
have
to
cover their noses and mouths with a mask. WATER POLLUTION-SOURCES,EFFECTS AND
CONTROL New Essays ... Filopaludina (F.) sumatrensis polygramma was the most abundant in
station 4, which related to the highest conductivity (750 uS) and TDS (373 ppm). Duangsawasdi and
Somsiri (1985) reported that the range of electric conductivity in natural water was 150 -300 uS,
which
was comparable to the TDA (Menasveta, 2000). It is possible that nearby agricultural and urbanized
areas contributed to increased conductivity and TDS in the forms to stormwater and wastewater
runoff. ... 5. Water Cycle The abundance of water on Earth is a unique feature that distinguishes our
"blue planet" from others in the solar system. Approximately 70.8 percent of the Earth is covered by
water
and
only 29.2 percent is terra firma. The average depth of the Earth's oceans is 3,794 m (12,447
ft)—more than five times the average height of the continents. The mass of the oceans is
approximately 1.35 × 1018 tons, or about 1/4400 of the total mass of the Earth. 20. Marcal River and
nearby
towns, killing at least eight people. The toxic flood reached the Danube River—Europe’s second-
largest river—last Thursday, sparking fears of downstream contamination. Hungary Prime Minister
Viktor Orban called the spill the country's biggest ecological disaster. One of the biggest threats
facing the Danube today is human alterations to the river made for navigation purposes, according to
a
2004 European Commission report. Projects to deepen, dam, or straighten the river and remove
"bottlenecks" to vessel passage are changing the river's traditional floodplain landscape and water
flow
into
deltas, as well as destroying wetlands and other protected habitats, according to the environmental
nonprofit WWF. There are currently projects underway to restore the Danube's floodplains, and a
recent plan by the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) aims
to
halt the illegal dumping of hazardous materials into the river. 9. Laws for Water pollution There are
many
laws that protect the world’s oceans, rivers and lakes from unnecessary water pollution. Each
continent and country may differ in which laws they enforce but they aim to have the same overall
positive influence. In Europe, there have been a number laws enforced to protect the surrounding
ocean from marine dumping. • In 1989, the dumping of industrial waste was terminated in all
countries in North- Western Europe, apart from the UK. Dumping was terminated in the UK in 1993.
• In 1990, the dumping of sewage sludge was terminated in all countries in North- Western Europe,
apart from the UK. Dumping was terminated in the UK in 1998. 20 5. Agency (EPA) reports that
about 37 percent of the country’s lakes and estuaries, and 36 percent of its rivers, are too polluted
for
basic uses such as fishing or swimming during all or part of the year. In developing nations, more
than 95 percent of urban sewage is discharged untreated into rivers and bays, creating a major
human health hazard. Most types of water pollution only affect the immediate area but sometimes
the
pollution
can travel hundreds or thousands of miles and then it is called transboundary pollution. Canada
flushes some 200 billion liters of raw sewage directly into natural waterways every year, from the St.
Lawrence River to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Pacific Ocean. That’s only a fraction of the
three trillion liters of sewage Canadians produce annually—about 6 percent, in fact—but it’s still
enough to fill more than 40,000 Olympic-sized swimming pools ( Larry West 2010). Water pollution
refers to the degradation of water quality. Water Pollution occurs when the water becomes
overloaded with too much of one thing and the aquatic organisms cannot keep up with their cleaning
responsibilities. Some organisms may die and others may grow too fast. Water pollutant include
heavy metals, sediments, certain radioactive Isotopes, heat, fecal coliform bacteria, Phosphorus,
Nitrogen, Sodium, and other useful elements as well as certain photogenic bacteria and viruses.
What is a pollutant? “A pollutant is any biological, physical or chemical substance that in an
identifiable excess in known to be harmful to other desirable living organisms” Today the primary
water
pollution
problem in the world is the lack of clean, disease free drinking water. In the past, epidemics of
waterborne disease such as cholera have been responsible for the deaths of people in the United
States. It is the fundamental principle that the quality of water determines its potential uses. The
major uses of water today are agriculture, industrial processes, and domestic 5 of 2.84x105 Km3.

lakes as unsafe for swimming and fishing. 7.2. Solutions to Water Pollution #1 Enforce Existing
Laws Our first solution to water pollution, therefore, is pretty simple – tell your politicians to enforce
existing laws. When a politician touts his new anti-pollution bill that he claims will clean up the
environment, it means little if they continue to allow existing laws to go unenforced. Tell your
politicians what you think. Encourage them to enforce existing laws such as the Clean Water Act.
Beyond enforcing laws, there are some practical steps that we can take as individuals to limit the
pollution
in
our neighborhoods and cities. 7.3. Solutions to Water Pollution #2 – Stop Nutrient and Pesticide
Pollution
If you are putting “normal” fertilizer, pesticides, and other chemicals on your lawn or in your
gardens, you are contributing to the pollution problem. While you may find these products helpful,
much of their volume is being washed off your lawn and into the nearest waterway. They also tend
to
degrade the quality of your soil, causing more and more reliance on the chemicals over time. 7.4.

#3 – Drive Less Nitrogen deposition from air pollution is a big part of the nutrient pollution problem.
How much we drive, how large a vehicle we have, and many other factors contribute to how much
pollution
we are putting out individually. Be conscious of the emissions that your car spews out and keep your
car well maintained. Think about leaning towards a hybrid or electric car if you drive a lot of miles
every day. Use public transportation more often. Our government pays a lot of money to put these
public systems in place. Driving less is something we can all do better at, and all of the relatively
small differences each person makes will add up when summed across millions of drivers. 18 Subject:

• Kills bacteria effectively. • Oxidizes substances such as iron and sulphur so that they can be filtered
out of the solution. • There are no nasty odours or residues produced from the treatment. • Ozone
converts back into oxygen quickly, and leaves no trace once it has been used. The disadvantages of
using ozone as a treatment for wastewater are: • The treatment requires energy in the form of
electricity; this can cost money and cannot work when the power is lost. • The treatment cannot
remove dissolved minerals and salts. • Ozone treatment can sometimes produce by-products such as
bromate that can harm human health if they are not controlled. 24 probably on metal oxide

oxides of sulfur, nitrogen, or carbon, combine with water vapor in the air to form acids. These acids
fall to earth as acid rain, acid snow, and acid deposition. Flowing water carries these acids into
streams and lakes, where they can damage delicate lake ecosystems. © Microsoft Corporation. All

as
massive causal agents for water pollution. Sediments are washed off from agricultural lands into
lakes,

oceans causing silt depositions. Farmers can utilize erosion and sediment control methods to limit
runoff currents and hold back the soils on their farms. Water Pollution.... Dangers of Water Pollution:
All
water
pollutants
are dangerous to humans as well as lesser species.... Causes of Water Pollution: The sources of Water
Pollution can be divided into point sources and nonpoint sources.... Although around three fourth of
the
earth's space is filled with water, there is an alarming amount of pollution that has rendered most of
the
water
as
unsanitary and unusable.... Save In some countries, unsafe drinking water is the leading cause of
death. There are places in the world where people drink bad water because they have no other
choice. They need water to survive. The pollution can happen naturally due to volcanoes, excessive
algae, or silt from storms and floods. However, humans often contribute to the problem even more.
Human causes include sewage, pesticides and fertilizers, chemicals, and trash. 20. Polluted River in
the
United Kingdom The pollution of rivers and streams with chemical contaminants has become one of
the
most crutial environmental problems within the 20th century. Waterborne chemical pollution entering

coursework on your topic "Extremely Issue of Water Pollution" with a personal 6. Water Cycle The
water
cycle (or hydrologic cycle) describes the methods of transport for water in the hydrosphere. This
cycle includes water beneath the Earth's surface and in rocks (lithosphere), the water in plants and
animals (biosphere), the water covering the surface of the planet in liquid and solid forms, and the
water
in
the
atmosphere in the form of water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. Movement of water within the
hydrosphere
is
described by the hydrologic cycle. It is easy to see this motion in rivers and streams, but it is harder
to
tell that there is this motion in lakes and ponds. The characteristics of the ocean that affect its motion
are its temperature and salinity. Cold water is denser than warm water, and salt water is denser than
freshwater. The combination of the water's temperature and salinity determines whether it rises to the
surface, sinks to the bottom, or stays at some intermediate depth. 0% found this document useful (0

coolant in factories and power plants. The water is usually returned to the source warmer than when
it was taken. Even small temperature changes in a body of water can drive away the fish and other
species that were originally present, and attract other species in place of them. Thermal pollution can
accelerate biological processes in plants and animals or deplete oxygen levels in water. The result
may be fish and other wildlife deaths near the discharge source. Thermal pollution can also be
caused by the removal of trees and vegetation that shade and cool streams. 6. Sources of Water
Pollutants Pollution entering rivers and streams can be classified according to the nature of its
sources. It could be a) Point Source Point source pollution (PS) comes directly from a known source
like an industrial or sewage outfall pipe. Point sources are typically associated with manufacturing
processes. However, point sources also include discharges from water treatment plants and large
animal feeding operations. b) Non Point Source Nonpoint source pollution (NPS) can be defined as
pollution that comes from many miscellaneous or diffuse sources rather than from an identifiable,
specific point. Nonpoint source pollution can originate from urban environments such as yards in
neighborhoods or from agricultural production areas such as crop fields. Chemicals, waste products
and
soil
that
are carried by rain into streams or rivers become a part of NPS. Common examples are fertilizers,
herbicides, pesticides, spilled motor oil and wastes from pets, wildlife and livestock. Other
significant sources of NPS include • Litter • Disposal of wastes in catch basins • Hazardous waste
improperly stored or discarded • Improperly operating septic systems • Erosion from construction
sites, farms or home sites • Acid deposition including acid rain and fog 14
