Water Is Life

Quote of a famous person  Thomas Fuller  says we never know the worth of water till the well is dry. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies, usually as a result of human activities. Water bodies include for example lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers, and groundwater. Water pollution results when contaminants are introduced into the natural environment. For example, releasing inadequately treated wastewater into natural water bodies can lead to the degradation of aquatic ecosystems. In turn, this can lead to public health problems for people living downstream. They may use the same polluted river water for drinking or bathing or irrigation. Water pollution is the leading worldwide cause of death and disease, e.g. due to water-borne diseases. 


Water is typically referred to as polluted .Due to these contaminants it either does not support a human use, such as drinking water, or undergoes a marked shift in its ability to support its biotin communities, such as fish. Water pollution is a major global problem. It requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at all levels . It has been suggested that water pollution is the leading worldwide cause of death and diseases.
