Greetings my lovely one's. How was your night?
When harmful substances such as chemicals, waste, or dirty substances enter our water sources such as rivers, lakes, ponds, or oceans they make the water unfit for drinking, cooking, farming, or even the fish and animals that live in them. This is known as water pollution. It's like making water that's clear into something you wouldn't want to touch or drink. In addition to making the water appear dirty, this issue alters its contents, rendering it hazardous to humans, plants, and animals. People's actions are one of the main contributors to water pollution. Factories sometimes throw their dirty water full of chemicals straight into rivers without cleaning it.

When there aren't enough drains or treatment plants, sewage, or human waste, can get into water bodies in cities and towns. Farmers use a lot of chemicals like pesticides and fertilizers to help crops grow, but when it rains, those chemicals get washed away into nearby streams or ponds.
Even the oil and fuel from cars can wash off roads and into drains that lead straight to rivers. People occasionally dump plastic bags, bottles, and even food leftovers directly into the water, which exacerbates the situation. There are a lot of negative effects when water is polluted. People can get very sick by drinking or using polluted water. It can cause stomach infections, skin rashes, and even cholera and typhoid, two deadly diseases. Animals and fish that live in the water die because they can’t breathe or eat properly anymore. Polluted water also ruins the beauty of nature and makes it hard for people to enjoy things like swimming, fishing, or even just walking near a river.
However, the good news is that if we all work together, we can stop water pollution. Before releasing their waste into the water, factories should clean it. Farmers can use natural fertilizers that don’t harm rivers. To properly treat contaminated water, governments ought to construct efficient sewage systems. Additionally, we should all begin raising awareness and putting our trash in the water. Everyone has a responsibility to safeguard clean water because it is not only a necessity but also a lifeline.
Thanks
