Water pollution

    this blog is about water pollution and the causes and ffects and types i will have sevral paragraphs about diffrent information on water pollution i hope you enjoy.


     Water pollution can come from a number of different sources. If the pollution comes from a single source such as an oil spill it is called point source pollution if the pollution comes from many sources it is called a non point-source pollution Surface water can be polluted in a number of ways and this is called surface water pollution .Oxygen depelting:microorganisms that pigeon water feed on bio degradable substances.When to much biodegradable material is added to water,the number of microorganisms increase and use up the available oxygen. This is called oxygen depeltion.Ground water pollution:alot of earths water is found underground in soil or under rock structures called aquifers.Humans usually use aquifers as means to obtain drinking water and build wells to acess it when this water becomes polluted it is called ground water pollution.Ground water pollution is often caused by pesticide contamination from the soil this can infect our drinking water andc ause huge problems.Nutrients and there effects on water:nutrients are essential for plant growth and development.many nutrients are found in waste water and fertilizers,and these can cause exess weed and algea growth if large concentrations end up in water.Microbiological water pollution:microbiological water pollution is usually a natural form of water pollution caused by microorganisms.Suspended matter:some pollutants do not dissolve in water as their molecules are to big to mix between the molecules.Chemical water pollution:industrial and agricultural work involves the use of many different chemicals that can run-off into water and pollute it.              


           The outcome of pollution is less fish and other organisms, unhealthy water and a polluted earth.Water pollution hurts our water sources such as lakes,rivers,oceans and our drinking water .It's a big problem and a global concern.Many diseases ,health problems and even deaths have been tied to water pollution. The process of contamintation begins with microscopic organisms named zooplankton and it moves up the food chain through clams,birds,marine creatures,and humans.Thse kinds of algea are considered toxic because they have killed humans.


         Solutions involve finding sustainable ways for the urban area to reduce both it's dependance on pollutants it produces,or to properly recycle or dispose of pollutants before they contaminate soil,water,or air.


        Preventing pollution in urban areas is often a public relations task.People need to be educated about proper ways to to dispose of waste showing each other where waste goes and the problems it can create in our water sheds is an effective way to get the message across the world.


         I hope this blog informed you about the types of water pollution and how to stop it.It's or water stop polluting it.
