and then being directly pulled out into water bodies, especially into rivers or seas without any treatment because this is the
most convenient way of disposing waste water. Industrial waste consists of some kinds of chemical substances such as
sulphur, which is harmful for marine life. Lead is known as the main reason for cancer disease. Cancer has become a

always use water for many purposes and then they dump waste water or garbage directly into rivers, canals and ponds and

Two of the most dangerous storms which affect America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by
anyone who may live in the path of their destruction.
Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who live near the coast are forced to
evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the
heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and heavy rains
associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage.
