Water Pollution

Water Comprising over 70% of the Earth's surface, water is undoubtedly the most precious natural resource that exists on our planet. Life on Earth would be non-existent without water. Although as humans we should recognized this fact more, but we disregard it by polluting our rivers, lakes, and oceans. Subsequently, we are slowly but surely harming our planet to the point where organisms are dying at a very alarming rate. In addition to innocent animals and organisms dying off on daily basis, our drinking water has become greatly affected as is our ability to use water for recreational purposes.

In order to combat water pollution, we must understand the problems and become part of the solution. The problem of ocean pollution affects every nation around the world. This is especially true because water is able to transport pollution from one location to another. For many years, chemicals were dumped into bodies of water without concern. While many countries have now banned such behavior, it continues to go on today. As the world has industrialized and its population has grown, the problem of water pollution has intensified. It is hard to know now what our oceans will look like in the future. Just how damaged they will be by pollution is uncertain.
