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

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.
