A few facts on Water Pollution

(I-Newswire) December 12, 2009 - Water pollution is one of the biggest problems that the world is facing today. Our water bodies, including rivers, lakes, oceans and even our ground water is becoming contaminated. The result of this contamination can damage the whole world, causing damage to both the human population and the natural biological communities. World over, water pollution causes many diseases and even deaths. Thousands of people die every day due to some degree of water pollution.
HOW DOES WATER BECOME POLLUTED?
When toxic substances come into contact with water bodies like streams, lakes, ands oceans, they either get dissolved or settle on the bed, which results in pollution. Over time, the quality of the water deteriorates and anything living in the polluted water will be directly or indirectly affected.
Water pollution can happen in many ways. Two of the biggest causes are industrial waste and city sewage discharged into rivers. Developing countries like India, Pakistan, and China frequently do not have adequate facilities to treat their wastewater hence, untreated water is discharged into water bodies.
WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS?
Throughout the world, there is a very great concern about water pollution. Consequently, many laws have been passed and there are strict rules prohibiting industries from dumping toxic industrial waste into a water body. However, these laws are still very weak in many countries as their elected officials do not seem to understand the gravity of the situation.
Each year, governments spend tremendous amounts of money to create clean drinking water for residents. There are also many non-governmental organizations that are working hard to keep local water bodies clean. There are thousands of environmental groups that are educating people all over the world and participating in clean up operations.
