Thermal pollution is generally a water problem. Heat in the air dissipated quickly. Water which is over heated changes the amount of oxygen in the water, changes the types of fish that can live in the area and encourages the growth of bacteria and algae, In addition warm waters encourage ducks and other aquatic birds to overwinter which can lead to starvation and species die off.
Thermal pollution originates from:
- Industrial process water discharges
- Power plant discharges
- Sewerage discharges
- General urban run off from streets and open lands.
