Humans are the main cause of water pollution, which is triggered in many ways: by the dumping of industrial waste; due to temperature rise, that cause the alteration of water by reducing the oxygen in its composition; Or due to deforestation, which causes sediments and bacteria to appear under the soil

Water pollution can happen in any water including the sea, lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater.

Water pollution occurs when harmful substances—often chemicals or microorganisms—contaminate a stream, river, lake, ocean, aquifer, or other body of water, degrading water quality and rendering it toxic to humans or the environment.

Water is uniquely vulnerable to pollution. Known as a “universal solvent,” water is able to dissolve more substances than any other liquid on earth. It’s the reason we have Kool-Aid and brilliant blue waterfalls. It’s also why water is so easily polluted. Toxic substances from farms, towns, and factories readily dissolve into and mix with it, causing water pollution.

Is Your Water Clean?

Humans have established communities and flourished around sources of clean, drinkable water since the beginning of time. It's vital to our survival.

Do you know that you can survive several days without food but not without water? It's heartbreaking to know that millions of people worldwide do not have access to this most basic need, and are dying of thirst and water borne diseases.

Freshwater sources around the world are threatened by water pollution. Not only are we managing our resources poorly through wastage, we are also thoughtlessly dirtying it.

Sources of Pollution

The main sources of water pollution are the following:

Discharge of untreated Raw Sewage from households and factories

Chemicals dumped from Factories

Agricultural run-offs that make their way into our rivers and streams and groundwater sources

Urbanization

The rising use of synthetic organic substances

Acid Rain caused by the burning of Fossil Fuels

Human littering in rivers, oceans, lakes and other bodies of water. Harmful litter includes plastics, aluminum, glass and Styrofoam.

Almost everything that is a byproduct of our civilization is polluting our drinking water. Governments, through various Clean Water Acts and water resource policies have sought to regulate the discharges of pollutants in the water to minimize pollution and contamination. From 1990 to 2006, an additional 1.6 billion people had access to safe drinking water. But we are not acting fast enough and most factories still find a way to dump their toxic wastes in the sea, unseen.

Effect of Polluted Water on Humans

How does water pollution affect humans? Try drinking untreated water nowadays and your body will immediately react to it. You will get a stomach ache at the least. Water-borne diseases account for the deaths of 3,575,000 people a year! That's equivalent to a jumbo jet crashing every hour, and the majority of these are children.

Infectious diseases can be spread through contaminated water. Some of these water-borne diseases are Typhoid, Cholera, Paratyphoid Fever, Dysentery, Jaundice, Amoebiasis and Malaria.

Chemicals in the water also have negative effects on our health.

Pesticides - can damage the nervous system and cause cancer because of the carbonates and organophosphates that they contain. Chlorides can cause reproductive and endocrinal damage.

Nitrates - are especially dangerous to babies that drink formula milk. It restricts the amount of oxygen in the brain and cause the "blue baby" syndrome.

Lead - can accumulate in the body and damage the central nervous system.

Arsenic - causes liver damage, skin cancer and vascular diseases

Flourides - in excessive amounts can make your teeth yellow and cause damage to the spinal cord.

Petrochemicals - even with very low exposure, can cause cancer.

These are just to name a few.

Let's do our part...

Water pollution is a known threat to humans and we can do our part to help keep our waters clean.

Don't throw litter in the ocean.

Don't dispose of chemicals, paint, in water supplies and drains.

If you see anyone throwing litter into any body of water, report it to the authorities.

Help increase awareness by educating your children and increasing awareness within your community.

There's a long way to go, but as we mature as a society and as our technologies progress, we can improve our methods of protecting our water supply. Right now, everyone just needs to do their share, from their end.
