WATER POLLUTION

Its causes, effects and other things we should know

about it.
WHAT IS WATER POLLUTION?

Water Pollution is the

contamination of water bodies,
very often by human activities.
TYPES OF WATER POLLUTION
and ITS CAUSES
NUTRIENTS POLLUTION

Some wastewater, fertilizers and sewage contain

high levels of Nutrients. If they end up in water bodies, they
encourage algae and weed growth in water.
SURFACE WATER POLLUTION

Hazardous substances coming into contact with this surface

water. Dissolving physically with the water.
OXYGEN DEPLETION

When too much biodegradable matters end up in water, it

encourages more organisms growth. If oxygen is depleted, aerobic
organisms die, and anaerobic organism grow more to produce harmful
toxins such as ammonia and sulfides.
GROUND WATER POLLUTION

When humans apply pesticides and chemicals to soils, they are

washed deep into the ground by rain water. This gets underground water,
causing pollution under ground.
MICROBIOLOGICAL

There is natural pollution caused by micro-organisms like viruses,

bacteria and protozoa. This natural pollution can cause fishes and other
water life to die. They can also causes serious illness to humans who drink
from such waters.
SUSPENDED MATTER

Some pollutants do not easily dissolve in water. This kind of

material is called particulate matter. Some suspended pollutants later
settle under the water body.
CHEMICAL WATER POLLUTION

Many industries and farmers work with chemicals that end up in water.
These includes chemicals that are used to control weeds, insects and
pests. Metals and solvents from industries can pollute water bodies.
 EFFECTS OF
WATER POLLUTION
DEATH OF AQUATIC ANIMALS

The main caused by water pollution is that it kills life that depends on
these water bodies.
DISEASES

People can get diseases such as hepatitis by eating seafood that

has been poisoned.
DESTRUCTION OF ECOSYSTEM

Many areas are now being affected by careless human pollution,

and this pollution is coming back to hurt humans in many ways.
Prevention of
Water Pollution
 NEVER
THROW
RUBBISH ANY
HOW!

USE WATER
WISELY!
 DO NOT THROW
CHEMICALS, OILS,
PAINTS, AND
MEDICINES DONW
THE SINK DRAIN, OR
THE TOILET.

PUBLIC PLACES.
DID YOU KNOW?
 DID YOU KNOW?

A SINGLE QUART OF MOTOR

OIL THAT SEEPS INTO THE
GROUNDWATER CAN POLLUTE
250,000 GALLONS OF
DRINKING WATER.
 DID YOU KNOW?

CHINA HOLDS THE RCORD OF

BEING THE GREATEST WATER
POLLUTER IN THE WORLD.
 DID YOU KNOW?

THERE ARE MORE

MICROPLASTICS IN OUR
OCEANS THAN STARS IN THE
MILKY WAY.
 DID YOU KNOW?

FOR EVERY ON E MILLION TONS

OF OIL THAT ARE SHIPPED, ONE
TON IS SPILLED INTO THE
WATERWAYS.
 DID YOU KNOW?

WATER POLLUTION KILLS

AROUND 10,000 PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD
EVERYDAY – THAT’S 3.6
MILLION PEOPLE EVERY YEAR.
 DID YOU KNOW?

IF ALL NEW SOURCES OF

CONTAMINATION COULD BE
ELIMINATED, IN 10 YEARS, 98%
OF ALL AVAILABLE
GROUNDWATER WOULD THEN
BE FREE OF POLLUTION.
 DID YOU KNOW?

DESPITE OF EVERYTHING WE
HAVE SAID HERE, AFTER THIS
CLASS YOU STILL TAKE EVERY
WORDS WE SAID FOR GRANTED.
AND CONTINUE TO POLLUTE
MANY WATER BODIES.
THANK YOUUUUU!
