Water pollution and pollutants
In this video you learn Water pollution is when harmful substances and materials are added to bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, oceans, and groundwater. This can cause harm to plants, animals, and humans who use the water for drinking, recreation, and other purposes.
Some common sources of water pollution include:
Oil spills from boats and ships
Chemical runoff from farms and factories
Sewage and waste from homes and businesses
Litter, such as plastic bags and bottles
Pesticides and fertilizers from lawns and gardens
Water pollution can have many harmful effects on the environment, including:
Killing fish and other aquatic animals
Contaminating drinking water supplies
Harming plants and wildlife
Making it difficult for people to use the water for swimming and fishing
It's important for everyone to help prevent water pollution by being mindful of their actions and the things they do that might contribute to the problem. For example, kids can:
Pick up litter and dispose of it properly
Use environmentally friendly products, such as biodegradable soap
Be mindful of what they flush down the toilet or pour down the drain
Learn about ways to conserve water and reduce waste
By taking small steps to protect water resources, kids can make a big difference in the fight against water pollution
