Water Pollution

We are surrounded by water in the form of rivers, lakes, ponds, oceans and even in the air present in the form of water vapours. It is one of the most abundant and main compounds on the Earth. 75% of the Earth’s surface is covered with water. The main sources of water supply are: –

Surface water from springs, waterfalls, rivers lakes, etc
Groundwater which is taken out from wells
Salty water

All living beings need water to carry out life processes. Therefore, it is called a supporter of the life but somehow due to human negligence, we are polluting water. The main causes of the water pollution are:-

Untreated industrial and domestic sewage in water bodies directly.
Draining of Inorganic pesticides and chemical fertilizers directly into the water by farmers. Some pesticides like DDT enter into aquatic animal bodies and eventually reach to human beings.
Animals bathing, washing clothes near water sources.
