What is Water Pollution?
- Also known as,
Water
Contamination
- The impurification
of water bodies
resulting from being
poisoned or polluted
Types of Water
Pollutants
Nutrients - Increase of nutrients in
the water body causes
Pollution algae and weed growth to
increase which emits
toxic in the water
Microbiological Pollution
- Viruses, bacteria and other
microorganisms may
contaminate bodies of water
becoming contaminated
 Surface Water
Pollution
- Water runs through the surface
of land that contains harmful
compounds that will mix with
the it
 - Pesticides and chemicals, when
applied to plants, rainwater washes
the chemicals up to groundwater,
leaving pollution from there.

Groundwater

Chemical Water
Pollution
- People using chemicals or
disposing is wrongly will
cause bodies of water
contaminated
- If there are Biodegratable
matter in the water, aerobic
Oxygen
organism tend to intake
more oxygen whilst, it will Depletion
decrease leaving the
anaaerobic organisms to
grow
- Some pollutants do not dissolve easily in
water. These pollutants would likely to be
consumed, trapped or even absorbed by
organisms causing them to have a slow
death.

Suspended Matter
- This is liquid petroleum hydrocarbon that is
usually found at bodies of water,
contaminating the water with oil. Marine
organisms die, marine ecosystem corroded and
even birds get their wichs stuck in this organic
compound.
