People need water to grow crops and to operate factories, drinking and

recreation. Animal also depend on it to survive. But, nowadays, our river mostly
contaminated that may harm to our environment. Water pollution occurs when
pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate
treatment to remove harmful compounds. Water pollution may give effect plants and
organisms living. In almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual
species and populations, but also to the natural biological communities.
Water pollution can be defined as the contamination of water bodies such as
lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater. Water pollution occurs when
pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate
treatment to remove harmful compounds.
There are many reasons lead to occur of water pollution. First, the disposal of
sewage and wastewater into marine environments is a significant factor in water
pollution. Specifically, untreated sewage water can harm marine ecosystems and
cause diseases. In developing countries, the main concern in access to sanitary
water, that is unavailable to people. Conversely, in the developed world the major
problem is people flushing chemicals and pharmaceuticals that contaminate the
water.
Second, industrial waste also has detrimental effects on water quality. This
has been a problem since the industrial revolution and continues today with many
companies using water to carry pollutants away from their factories. Common
chemicals include asbestos, lead, and mercury, which harm marine ecosystems and
contaminate drinking water. In addition, radioactive waste is also an important factor
in water pollution.
Another major source of water contamination is oil pollution. This can occur in
a variety of ways, such as spills, shipping, run-off, and dumps. Oil spills are
considered the most detrimental because such a large amount is concentrated in one
place. This creates a localized problem that is extremely damaging to the
surrounding area.
Some of effects on water pollution is it may affect to our ecosystem that is kills
life that inhabits water-based ecosystems.

Dead fish, birds, dolphins, and many

other animals often wind up on beaches, killed by pollutants in their habitat. In

addition, pollution disrupts the natural food chain as well. Pollutants such as lead and
cadmium are eaten by tiny animals. Later, these animals are consumed by fish and
shellfish, and the food chain continues to be disrupted at all higher levels.
Besides, chemical that release into river also dangerous to human. It may
cause to food poisonous that may harm human health. Chemical that contains like
carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and other are very dangerous to environment. This is
because some other people only depend on aquatic life in the river like fish to sustain
their life. For example, if oil is spilled on the water, the effects on the ecosystem and
the components are harmful.
If I were some of responsible people, I will find the ways to save our water
been polluted. As we know, water is very important to make our routine life run
smoothly. First, I will recommend people to use less water. This might sound
simplistic, but decreasing your water consumption is one of the keys to minimizing
water pollution. By reducing the amount of water you use, you will reduce the amount
of water that flows into sewage treatment systems. You can decrease your water
consumption by taking a shower instead of a bath, letting it mellow if it is yellow such
as do not flush the toilet every time you urinate and turning the water off while you
are brushing your teeth,.
Second, use environmentally-friendly household products. This means we do
not use household products that contain chemicals. Instead, use green products, like
biodegradable soap and all-natural toiletries. To clean your house, stop using bleach
and chemical cleaners and use vinegar instead.
Besides, do not litter is very important manner for us to practice it to make our
river or water clean to use. Avoid littering in rivers, lakes, and oceans. If you are really
feeling motivated, gather a group of friends and family members to clean up litter on
the beach and near other bodies of water. Make sure that you dispose of the litter in
an appropriate waste disposal area.
In conclusion, I think that water pollution is, without a doubt, a huge problem in
todays society. If we do not take action now this could lead to bad news for everyone
in many ways. Our drinking water will be affected and our aquatic organism will be

affected, which will eventually be a risk for humans in many ways. I think that more
people should be concerned with this topic and how they greatly affect our everyday
lives. People should stop taking what they have for granted and try to help stop this
enormous problem before it is too late.
