Fertilizers used in agricultural areas tend to get washed away by rainfall and can end up in local water sources. These chemicals can cause fish to die near-instantly because of the nitrogen poisoning in the water and aggressive aquatic plants like algae can grow rampant.

The sewage n garbage we throw out and the chemicals from factories contribute to water pollution.
The pollution goes down to the river, and its kills fish, also livings on land and water nature.
Air pollution, water pollution, & ground pollution.

Organic agriculture typically avoids synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides, which can contaminate soil and water sources. Also, organic farming practices focus on soil health and biodiversity, which can help sequester carbon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These factors contribute to lower pollution levels associated with organic agriculture compared to chemical-intensive agriculture.
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.

8 types of water pollution include: Nutrients Pollution Surface Water Pollution Oxygen Depleting Ground Water Pollution Microbiological Suspended Matter Chemical Water Pollution Oil Spillage
The water table was polluted by the pollution source due to rainfall or ground water contamination near the pollution site.
the main cause of water pollution in South Africa is by urbanisation, deforestation, damming of rivers, destruction of wetlands, industry, mining, agriculture, energy use, and accidental water pollution
