What is the main pollution in the water in Africa?
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
Does damming of rivers cause water pollution?
Yes, damming rivers can contribute to water pollution. The creation of reservoirs often leads to the accumulation of organic matter, which, when decomposed, can deplete oxygen levels and release harmful substances. Additionally, stagnant water can promote the growth of harmful algae and bacteria, further degrading water quality. Furthermore, the alteration of natural flow patterns can disrupt ecosystems and increase sedimentation, which can also affect water purity.
How damming of rivers polluting water?
Damming rivers can lead to significant water pollution due to the alteration of natural water flow and the accumulation of pollutants in stagnant reservoirs. These changes can promote the growth of harmful algal blooms, which produce toxins that contaminate the water. Additionally, the decomposition of organic matter in the slowed water can release methane and other pollutants, further degrading water quality. Overall, damming disrupts ecosystems and can lead to long-term environmental and health issues.
What effect does air pollution have on water supply?
Air pollution causes acid to accumulate in rivers and lakes.
What does Damming a river mean?
Changing the course of rivers for energy purposes or to reserve water.
How does pollution affect waterfalls?
Pollution affects waterfalls because pollution goes through air and can actually fly into water and rivers, which causes water pollution that can somewhat spread. This kills algae and fish and it kills our clean source of water.

What are different types of pollution and how it effects the earth?
they are four types of pollution : Sound or niose pollution. Water pollution. Land pollution. Air pollution. Sound pollution:It causes by loud sound such as vehicle horns in traffic jams is known as Sound pollution. Water pollution:As the dirty water mix in freshwater such as rivers the water gets polluted. Land pollution:As the chemicals mix with good fertile soil it causes land pollution. Air pollution:It cause by the smoke of factory and the pollination of the followers it is known as Air pollution.
Is water pollution an atmospheric pollution?
No, water pollution is in our rivers and oceans, atmospheric pollution is gas and other contaminants up in the air.
What causes pollution in water?
Sewage is often pumped into the rivers all over the country. Fertilisers and dust from fields also create muddy and murky water.
What will not reduce water pollution?
What will not reduce water pollution is constantly dumping garbage in to lakes and rivers.
What is water pollution and the causes of water pollution?
