The consequences of river pollution are quite serious. Plants and animals in the river's ecosystem become damaged. If these are ingested by other animals, they may become ill, and even die off. If humans ingest these animal, they too may become ill. Not only will the river no longer be able to sustain life, it will be unsuitable for drinking, as well as start polluting whatever body of water the river drains into.
