The consequences of water pollution are grave. Toxic water will not only harm plant and animal live in rivers, streams, lakes and oceans, but this harm will continue up the food chain to humans. Drinking polluted water can cause illness which leads to death. Eating food raised on, or in, toxic water can cause illnesses leading to death as well.
