Water Pollution

I looked it up on Google and it says: "The total water content is about 331 million cubic miles" actually i got that from somewhere on here and i know that doesn't help you much but it gives you a good start.....i guess xD

Water is a valuable resource. All life depend on water for survival, including us humans. If we pollute the water, aquatic life such as fishes will be directly affected, dying out. Water will be contaminated, making it unsafe for drinking.

They provide water sources to animals. Creatures such as fish and birds need these areas to survive. Humans also use these areas for activities such as camping, wildlife observation, fishing and hunting. They also prevent flooding by holding water. Wetlands are also filter lands that collect and filter water contaminants. Natures own water filtration areas.

Israel is the country most waterpolluted in the world

Industries use a scrubber,is a device that is used to remove some pollutants. Industries also use clean-coal,is when the plant turns coal into a gas before it is burned,so fewer pollutants are released.

Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulate matter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort to humans or other living organisms or damages the natural environment, into the atmosphere.

Urbanization means increase of population in an area. Then they need more foods, cloths and other materials to live. To supply their needs industries are growing up by which air is polluted.More people burn more fuels which creates co2 and other gases.

More people need more vehicles for transportation. Vehicles pollute air rapidly.Industries are the main components of urbanization. From industries various types of gases are produced which causes acid rain.For urbanization forests and many other agricultural lands are reduced. It effects badly on air.Urban people use refrigerators, air cooler, perfume etc. which produce CFCs.

For urban people construction buildings are necessary. Air pollutes when dust particles are being mixed with air from construction works.

Polluted water is actually really easy to identify. The water will be a different color than the regular drinkable water. Except if you see contaminated water, than it's actually invisible. Never bring a water bottle filled with filtered water, and fill it up with tap water. That's what makes contaminated water which if you drink, you can get really sick.

The law is involved in water pollution the same way the law is involved in speeding cars in traffic because those who pollute the water can afford the cost of a fine or penalty just as those who drive too fast in their cars can afford the cost of a ticket.

The "law" is in every person and it is every person's ability to create awareness at their own level and increase that awareness of water pollution to as many people around the person who is the polluter so as to cause due embarrassment enough to embarrass the law enforcement agencies and/or the polluter themselves to curb or cease their polluting ways.

Waiting for someone else and/or "the law" to get involved in control of water pollution is not the answer.

You are the answer.

People,animals and plants are affected by air pollution

Sewage(raw) can effect the environment,as it could harm different species of animals. If animals are to interfere with it, it might kill them. It pollutes the environment,so we will no longer have fresh, clean waters.

Well the disadvantages are that the other people could get hurt, quite bad maybe?

but if it's what you want then don't be scared the other person will just have to accept it and move on as much as they can, it's not your fault, whatever the reason is for dumping them, just don't blame yourself and DON't let them make you feel guilty in any way. xxx

• Factories releasing toxic chemicals into rivers.
• People throwing plastic garbage Ito the rivers and oceans.

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.

Jal jivan hai .Jal ke binahum nahi jee sakte .Jal ke bina hu jeevit nahi reh sakte . Is dharti mein 75 % pani hain jo jeev - jantuo ko jivit rakhte hain.jal amrit he is prathvi par rahne wale har jiv ke liye.

kyoki hamara sharir panch chijo se milkar bana he

jisme jal ki aham bhomika he

hamare sharir ka 75% hissa jal se bana he or iske bina jivan he hi nahi to jal ki raksha karna hamari khud ki raksha karna he.........

means "Jal Hi Jeevan He!"

All plant and animal species that live in water are adapted to temperatures within a certain range. When water in an area warms more than they can tolerate, species that cannot move, such as rooted plants and shellfish, will die. Species that can move, such as fish, will leave the area in search of cooler conditions, and they will die if they can not find them. Typically, other species, often less desirable, will move into the area to fill the vacancy. In general, cold waters are better habitat for plants and animals than warm ones because cold waters contain more dissolved oxygen. Many freshwater fish species that are valued for sport and food, especially trout and salmon, do poorly in warm water. Some organisms do thrive in warm water, often with undesirable effects. Algae and other plants grow more rapidly in warm water than in cold, but they also die more rapidly; the bacteria that decompose their dead tissue use up oxygen, further reducing the amount available for animals. The dead and decaying algae make the water look, taste, and smell unpleasant. Therefore, warm water are elevated temperature typically decreases the level of dissolved oxygen (DO) in water. The decrease in levels of DO can harm aquatic animals such as fish, amphibians and copepods. Thermal pollution may also increase the metabolic rate of aquatic animals, as enzyme activity, resulting in these organisms consuming more food in a shorter time than if their environment were not changed. An increased metabolic rate may result in food source shortages, causing a sharp decrease in a population. Changes in the environment may also result in a migration of organisms to another, more suitable environment, and to in-migration of fishes that normally only live in warmer waters elsewhere. This leads to competition for fewer resources; the more adapted organisms moving in may have an advantage over organisms that are not used to the warmer temperature. As a result one has the problem of compromising food chains of the old and new environments. Biodiversity can be decreased as a result. It is known that temperature changes of even one to two degrees Celsius can cause significant changes in organism metabolism and other adverse cellular biology effects. Principal adverse changes can include rendering cell walls less permeable to necessary osmosis, coagulation of cell proteins, and alteration of enzyme metabolism. These cellular level effects can adversely affect mortality and reproduction. Primary producers are affected by warm water because higher water temperature increases plant growth rates, resulting in a shorter lifespan and species overpopulation. This can cause an algae bloom which reduces the oxygen levels in the water. The higher plant density leads to an increased plant respiration rate because the reduced light intensity decreases photosynthesis. This is similar to the eutrophication that occurs when watercourses are polluted with leached agricultural inorganic fertilizers. A large increase in temperature can lead to the denaturing of life-supporting enzymes by breaking down hydrogen- and disulphide bonds within the quaternary structure of the enzymes. Decreased enzyme activity in aquatic organisms can cause problems such as the inability to break down lipids, which leads to malnutrition. In limited cases, warm water has little deleterious effect and may even lead to improved function of the receiving aquatic ecosystem. This phenomenon is seen especially in seasonal waters and is known as thermal enrichment. An extreme case is derived from the aggregational habits of the manatee, which often uses power plant discharge sites during winter. Projections suggest that manatee populations would decline upon the removal of these discharges. The temperature can be as high as 70° Fahrenheit for freshwater, 80° F for saltwater, and 85° F for tropical fish.

Litter looks bad. Litter negatively affects the image

of places, especially tourist locations.

-Litter attracts litter. Litter sends out a message that

people do not care for the environment and that it is

acceptable to litter.

-Litter can harm or kill wildlife. Plastic litter can

choke or suffocate birds and marine life. Carelessly

discarded containers can trap small mammals.

-Litter harms our waterways. Organic matter, such

as dog poo, leaves and grass clippings, pollutes our

waterways.

Water pollution: is the contamination of water with pollutants.

Noise pollution: a noise above the permitted limit in a given environment.

The River Yamuna is harmful to animals and humans because it contains sewage and other pollutants. There are also other pollutants like metals that are toxic.

acidic urine

If raw or improperly treated sewage is discharged to a stream on purpose or by misadventure (pipe breaks, leaks etc.) it can pollute the water by: * Increasing the burden of fecal organisms * Adding chemical contaminants * Depleting the oxygen levels in the water * Making the water aesthetically unappealing (foams, solids and odours) * Covering the stream bed with solids

Water pollution occurs when contaminants are released into the water body such as the ocean or rivers. The water mainly occurs when we discharged untreated sewage or waste into the water. The main causes of water pollution are industrial wastes, house hold waste and chemicals. The used water of a community is called waste water or sewage. If it is not treated before being discharged into waterways, serious pollution is the result. Water pollution also occurs when rain water runoff from urban and industrial areas and from agricultural land and mining operations makes its way back to receiving waters (river, lake or ocean) and into the ground.
