How does air pollution contribute to water pollution?

Air pollution can lead to water pollution through a process called atmospheric deposition. Pollutants in the air, such as nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide, can react with water vapor in the atmosphere, forming acidic compounds that eventually fall to the ground in rain or snow. This acid rain can then run off into water bodies, leading to water pollution.
