Hot water can be pollution because if somebody dumps hot water into a body of water, the hot water can kill organisms living there.

Answer:

Hot water (thermal pollution) impacts the receiving water in several ways the alter the environment and ecosystem: * A sudden burst of hot water can kill aquatic organisms by thermal shock. Fish have to adjust to new temperatures slowly. * Continued hot water can raise the receiving water's general temperature. This in turn reduces the oxygen levels so that only more hardy species can live there (carp not trout), encourages the growth of plant life, and impacts breeding success rates of aquatic organisms * Warmer streams encourage birds to over winter, potentially leading to bird kills die to lack of food * Warmer water can leach out metals and organics from the stream bed
