Water pollution is when humans dump garbage,

Oil, fish guts, and fertilizer into rivers, lakes, and creeks. One of the consequences of freshwater pollution is the good fish will die, and we won’t get to go fishing in the creeks, rivers, and lakes.

Your garbage correctly, help clean up polluted

Areas, and dispose garbage/waste properly.
