In this work, we are going to talk about the theme that we chose, which is the water pollution.
We chose this topic because we are concerned and aware of the pollution that exists in water and its importance.

Pollution is the addition of any substance (solid, liquid, or gas) or any form of energy (such as heat, sound, or radioactivity) to the environment at a faster rate than it can be dispersed, diluted, decomposed, recycled, or stored in some harmless form. The major kinds of pollution, usually classified by the environment, are air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution.

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.

The water is important because if all the water on the planet is contaminated, there will be no more life. Because it´s from there that the energy, oxygen and food fonts are.

Briefly, water is the most important resource in the whole planet.

Water pollution kills. In fact, it caused 1.8 million deaths in 2015, according to a study published in "The Lancet". Contaminated water can also make you ill.

Waterborne pathogens, in the form of disease-causing bacteria and viruses from human and animal waste, are a major cause of illness from contaminated drinking water.

In order to thrive, healthy ecosystems rely on a complex web of animals, plants, bacteria, and fungi—all of which interact, directly or indirectly, with each other. Harm to any of these organisms can create a chain effect, imperiling entire aquatic environments.

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the largest accumulation of ocean plastic in the world and is located between Hawaii and California.
There are more than 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic in the patch that weight approximately 80000 tonnes.
According to a three-year study published in Scientific Reports Friday, the mass known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is about 1.6 million square kilometers in size, this was in 2018.

With this work we learned some things about water pollution and how dangerous it is, we talked about what pollution is, and what differentiates water pollution from other types of pollution. We focused only on the human causes of water pollution showed the effects of water pollution on humans.
Then we showed you some curiosity/facts about water pollution.
