Water Pollution

Water pollution is the most serious environmental problem that Earth is facing today. Water covers about 70% of the Earth and is a very important resource that humans and the environment need it in order to support life. Although water is a very essential resource to life, human beings had been wasting it due to large amounts of materials that are thrown in the water.

Moreover, water pollution affects drinking water, lakes, rivers and oceans all over the world; therefore, it can harm human health and natural environment such as plants and animals. The main effects of water pollution on animals are that if they're living in unhealthy environment, they can die from harsh chemicals or trash that is emptied into large bodies of water like: dead fish, birds, dolphins, and many other animals often wind up on beaches, killed by pollutants in their habitat.This could lead to vanishing species, since more animals are dying every time someone throws a toxic substance to any kind of body of water.

Furthermore, some effects of water pollution are that it can reduce the quality of drinking water for humans and marine animals. Also, it can reduce the amount of sunlight penetrating the water, killing some organisms.Besides, the effects on humans can be dangerous too. People can get several diseases by eating seafood that has been poisoned.

As a final point, humans should definitely take care of all the water that is suited on Earth in order to prevent water pollution. People can avoid this by being careful what they throw in any body of water(lakes, rivers or oceans), not overuse pesticides or fertilizers because this can runoff into water. Finally, this serious problem may grow even more if people aren't careful of their water use.
