 Effects of Water Pollution on Environment

Proposal

1. Brief Introduction.
Water Pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of
human activities, so that it negatively affects its uses. It occurs harmful
substances often chemicals or micro-organisms contaminate a stream, river,
lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water. Degrading water quality and
rendering it toxic to humans or the environment. Water pollution result when
contaminants are introduced into these water bodies.

2.0 Aim / Benefits of the Micro-Project

The aim of this Micro project is to understand the effects of water pollution on
environment.

3.0 Course Outcomes Achieved

❖ Develop public awareness of environment.

❖ Conserve ecosystem and biodiversity.
❖ Apply techniques to reduce environmental pollution.

1.0 Rationale
Water Pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human
activities, so that it negatively affects its uses. It occurs harmful substances often
chemicals or microorganisms contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or
other body of water. Degrading water quality and rendering it toxic to humans or
the environment. Water pollution result when contaminants are introduced into
these water bodies.

5.0 Actual Methodology followed
MAIN CAUSES OF WATER POLLUTION

It is sometimes caused by nature, such as when mercury filters from the Earth's
crust, polluting oceans, rivers, lakes, canals and reservoirs. However, the most
common cause of poor-quality water is human activity.

Global warming
Rising Global temperatures caused by CO? emissions heat the water,
reducing its oxygen content.

Deforestation
It can exhaust water resources and generate organic residue which becomes a
breeding ground for harmful bacteria.

Industry, agriculture and livestock farming

Chemical dumping from these sectors is one of the main causes of
eutrophication of water.
Rubbish and faecal water dumping
The UN says that more than 80% of the world's sewage finds its way into seas
and rivers untreated.

Maritime traffic
Much of the plastic pollution in the ocean comes from fishing boats, tankers and
cargo shipping.

Fuel spillages
The transportation and storage of oil and its derivatives is subject to
leakage that pollutes our water resources.

EFFECTS

Deteriorating water quality is damaging the environment, health conditions and

the global economy. The president of the World Bank, David Malpas, warns of
the economic impact: "Deteriorating water quality is stalling economic growth
and exacerbating poverty in many countries". The explanation is that, when
biological oxygen demand — the indicator that measures the organic pollution
found in water — exceeds a certain threshold, the growth in the Gross Domestic
Product (GDP) of the regions within the associated water basins falls by a third.
In addition, here are some of the other consequences.

• Destruction of biodiversity. Water pollution depletes aquatic ecosystems

and triggers unbridled proliferation of phytoplankton in lakes —
eutrophication.
 • Contamination of the food chain. Fishing in polluted waters and the use
of waste water for livestock farming and agriculture can introduce toxins
into foods which are harmful to our health when eaten.
• Lack or potable water. The UN says that billions of people around the
world have no access to clean water to drink or sanitation, particularly in
rural areas.

• Disease. The WHO estimates that about 2 billion people have no option
but to drink water contaminated by excrement, exposing them to diseases
such as cholera. hepatitis A and dysentery.
• Infant mortality. According to the UN, diarrhoeal diseases linked to lack
of hygiene C7iLiSe the death of about 1,000 children day worldwide

PREVENTION OF WATER POLLUTION

Half of the world 's inhabitants will live in water-scarce areas by 2025, so every
drop of polluted water today is an irreparable loss for tomorrow. That's why we
must prevent water pollution with measures like the following:

• Reduce COT emissions to prevent global warming and acidification of the

oceans.
• Reduce the use of chemical pesticides and nutrients on crops,
• Reduce and safely treat waste water so that, as well as not polluting, it can
be reused for irrigation and energy production.
• Restrict the use of single-use plastics that end up floating in rivers. lakes
and oceans, many as
 • Encourage sustainable fishing to ensure the survival of species and avoid
depletion of the seas.

6.0 CONCLUSION

Hence from this project we have learn how to control the water pollution
and what is the effect from water pollution on our environment. Water pollution
destroys important food sources and contaminates drinking water with
chemicals that can cause immediate and long-term harm to human health. Water
pollution also often several damages aquatic ecosystems.
