#Water #Contamination and #Clean water.

 


Contamination of water by harmful substances, which affects life on earth, is termed as water #pollution. Due to human activities, our water is getting more and more polluted day by day. Household garbage is disposed into various sources of water. Many people perform their domestic activities like bathing, washing clothes and utensils, etc. in these sources of water.

Poor water quality has its most direct impact on aquatic wildlife, particularly fish, bugs, and plants. Excess nutrients, sediment, road salt, and other contaminants can reduce the variety and hardiness of organisms living in the state's waters

 Water plays an important role in the world economy. Approximately 70% of the freshwater used by humans goes to  agriculture.  Fishing in salt and fresh water  bodies is a major source of food for many parts of the world.


Also, industrial #wastes are discharged into the water, leading to water pollution. Consumption of this polluted water leads to diseases like cholera, typhoid, diarrhoea, etc. in human beings. Polluted water also adversely affects the aquatic life. Thus, we need to make sure that we do not pollute water. Domestic activities such as bathing, washing clothes and utensils should not be done in rivers, lakes, ponds, etc. Household garbage should not be disposed in the various sources of water. Also, sewage and industrial waste water should be treated in #STP/ETP  before discharging into the water. 

Let us have a safe #environment.
