1. Water pollution is caused by many things, example, plastic bags being thrown into the sea, ships spilling oil in the ocean and factories discarding chemicals into the river.
2. The animals might think that the rubbish in the water are food and eat them, thus, causing them to fall sick or die. The chemicals that poison the water in the rivers and ocean will also harm or kill the living things in there.

Some human causes include sewage, pesticides and fertilizers from farms, waste water and chemicals from factories, silt from construction sites, and trash from people littering. Natural causes of water pollution are volcanoes, algae blooms, animal waste, and silt from storms and floods. It can also be caused by oil spills, acid rain. Water pollution is harmful to marine life, and we would not have enough clean water to drink. So please do not pollute water.

1)-oil leakage
-throwing rubbish
- dumping waste
2)all living thing need water and most of the  marine life will lose their habitat

Water pollution mostly comes from us.Everyday,we throw our rubbish into the rivers.The rubbish will pollute the water making chances of survival for marine life very low. We think that the things we do everyday will only affect sea creatures but the water we are drinking come from the rivers. We need to stop polluting the waters. The earth that we live in is being affected by this.WE ALL NEED TO PLAY OUR PART TO STOP WATER POLLUTION!

A sea turtle swims through the water and spots a white blob floating near the surface. “Yum!” it thinks. “A jellyfish!” Chasing after its dinner, the turtle swallows the item. But the floating blob isn’t a jelly—it’s a plastic bag that could make the sea turtle sick.

This sea creature isn’t alone: Over 700 species of marine animals have been reported to have eaten or been entangled in plastic. Scientists think that the amount of plastic in the ocean might triple by 2050—and that would mean seriously bad news for the ocean and the creatures that live there. But by understanding the issue and taking action, you can help stop that from happening.

Sources of Water Pollution

Water pollution contributes to water shortages by making some water sources unavailable for use. In underdeveloped countries, raw sewage is dumped into the same water that people drink and bathe in. Even in developed countries, water pollution affects human and environmental health. Water pollution includes any contaminant that gets into lakes, streams, and oceans. The most widespread source of water contamination in developing countries is raw sewage. In developed countries, the three main sources of water pollution are described below.
What is water pollution?

Water pollution is when waste, chemicals, or other particles cause a body of water (i.e. rivers, oceans, lakes) to become harmful to the fish and animals that need the water to survive. Water pollution can disrupt and negatively impact nature's water cycle as well.

Natural Causes of Water Pollution

Sometimes water pollution can occur through natural causes like volcanoes, algae blooms, animal waste, and silt from storms and floods.

Human Causes of Water Pollution

A lot of water pollution comes from human activity. Some human causes include sewage, pesticides and fertilizers from farms, waste water and chemicals from factories, silt from construction sites, and trash from people littering.

Oil Spills

Some of the most famous incidents of water pollution have been oil spills. One was the Exxon Valdez oil spill which occurred when an oil tanker hit a reef off the coast of Alaska and over 11 million gallons of oil spilled into the ocean. Another bad oil spill was the Deepwater Horizon oil spill when an explosion at an oil well caused over 200 million gallons to spill into the Gulf of Mexico.

Acid Rain

Air pollution can also have a direct effect on water pollution. When particles like sulfur dioxide get high into the air they can combine with rain to produce acid rain. Acid rain can turn lakes acidic, killing fishes and other animals.

1) Throwing rubbish in the ocean and the oil from ships.
2) We will not have clean water to drink and use

# data[].attributes.body
Water pollution is caused mainly by humans.We pollute the water by dumping waste resources such as plastic bags,bottles,unrecycleble items,fishing nets,hooks and other things fisherman use.Also caused by accidental oil spills,pesticide and other harmful substances that we use to clean or do things with that might go into underground water which will eventually end up in the sea.So,we should all do our part in helping not to add on to pollution.We should also do our best in conserving water as we do not have a lot of drinkable water.One day there might not be any more water to drink.Im done.Thats it folks,so........YEET!

A lot of water pollution comes from human activity. Some human causes include sewage, pesticides and fertilizers from farms, waste water and chemicals from factories, silt from construction sites, and trash from people littering.People and animals need clean drinking water. Farmers need water to irrigate crops. People enjoy using lakes and rivers for recreation. Unfortunately, this precious resource is easily contaminated by agricultural runoff, mining activities, waste treatment plants and improperly disposed-of industrial waste.

1.Causes of water pollution:
- Industrial waste
- Sewage and wastewater
- Mining
- Accidental oil spillage from      ships
- Pesticides and Chemical Fertilizers
- Global warming and so on.

2. Water pollution affects living thing in a deadly manner such as death of aquatic animals, disruption of food-chains, diseases, destruction of ecosystems.

Effects of Pollution of Water

Diseases: In humans, drinking or consuming polluted water in any way has many disastrous effects on our health. It causes typhoid, cholera, hepatitis and various other diseases. ... Water pollution can cause an entire ecosystem to collapse if left unchecked.

1)Water pollution largely occurs due to sewage flow into rivers, dumps into the sea and also contamination of land and water due to toxic chemicals. But of all of them, it seems the leading cause of water pollution is sewage efflux into rivers.

Rivers are the means by which most of the water is supplied for drinking in all parts of the world. Other sources like wells, bores, ponds, lakes, etc. come in the second place and less reliable.

The river water is used for domestic purposes, agriculture, industrial usage.

But interestingly this river water is the prime source of water pollution.

Due to the flux of industrial waste, the rise in the automobiles oil usage and growth in population, the rivers are subjected to a great deal of pollution
2)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.

1) Humans are the main reason for pollution.
-Oil spillage from ships
-Deforestation
-Pesticides used for crops
-Dumping rubbish
2) If the water is polluted,many animals would not have a safe enviroment to live in so they will die. The plants will also die due to absorbing polluted water ad humans will drink the polluted water so they get sick and die.

1. Humans are the biggest contributors to water pollution.
a) Dumping of waste into rivers and oceans.
-Deforestation.
-Pesticides used for crops.
-Oil spillage from ships.
2.Water pollution affects all plants and animals as they drink the polluted water, they will fall ill and maybe die. The plants will also die so many aquatic animals will lose their habitats. Humans will also fall sick after they drink the polluted water.

1. a) Humans are the main cause of water pollution.
b) Humans dump wastes from  factories, farms, ships, and homes into drains and canals that pollute water.
2. Water pollution affects living things because all living things need clean water to survive. Polluted water also makes all living things sick.

1) Humans are the main reason for pollution. Examples:
- Dumping of industrial waste.
- Deforestation.
- Pesticides used in agriculture.
- Accidental spillage of oil.
2) Pollution affects all types of living things. Example:
- Disappearance of biodiversity.
- Disappearance of aquatic ecosystem.
- Humans drinking contaminated water.
- Humans using contaminated water.

In conclusion, to prevent all these from happening we need to take good care of our ecosystem on Land, Sea and Air.

Over 700 species of marine animals have been reported to have eaten or been entangled in plastic. Scientists think that the amount of plastic in the ocean might triple by 2050—and that would mean seriously bad news for the ocean and the creatures that live there.
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 and therefore contaminate groundwater.

In the same way, the pesticides used in agricultural fields filter through underground channels and reach the consumption networks; And also as a result of accidental spillage of oil.

Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags and microbeads) in the Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans.
Plastic pollution on land poses a threat to the plants and animals – including humans who are based on the land. As of 2016 it was estimated that there was approximately 150 million tonnes of plastic pollution in the world's oceans, estimated to grow to 250 million tonnes in 2025. One study estimated that there are more than 5 trillion plastic pieces (defined into the four classes of small microplastics, large microplastics) afloat at sea.
Plankton, fish, and ultimately the human race, through the food chain, ingest these highly toxic carcinogens and chemicals. Consuming the fish that contain these toxins can cause an increase in cancer, immune disorders, and birth defects. Plastic pollution has the potential to poison animals, which can then adversely affect human food supplies. Plastic pollution has been described as being highly detrimental to large marine mammals, described in the book Introduction to Marine Biology as posing the "single greatest threat" to them. Some marine species, such as sea turtles, have been found to contain large proportions of plastics in their stomach. When this occurs, the animal typically starves, because the plastic blocks the animal's digestive tract.
Sometimes Marine mammals are entangled in plastic products such as nets, which can harm or kill them. Entanglement in plastic debris has been responsible for the deaths of many marine organisms, such as fish, seals, turtles, and birds. These animals get caught in the debris and end up suffocating or drowning. Because they are unable to untangle themselves, they also die from starvation or from their inability to escape predators.
Sea turtles are affected by plastic pollution. Some species are consumers of jelly fish, but often mistake plastic bags for their natural prey. This plastic debris can kill the sea turtle by obstructing the oesophagus. Baby sea turtles are particularly vulnerable according to a 2018 study by Australian scientists.
Plastic pollution does not only affect animals that live solely in oceans. Seabirds are also greatly affected. In 2004, it was estimated that gulls in the North Sea had an average of thirty pieces of plastic in their stomachs. Seabirds often mistake trash floating on the ocean's surface as prey. Their food sources often has already ingested plastic debris, thus transferring the plastic from prey to predator. Ingested trash can obstruct and physically damage a bird's digestive system, reducing its digestive ability and can lead to malnutrition, starvation, and death.
It can also affect humans because it may create an eyesore that interferes with enjoyment of the natural environment.

1.Some causes of water pollution are throwing plastic bags into the river or into the sea, causing the river or the sea to choke up.
2.The sea creatures in the sea or the river may assume that the plastic bags and plastic bottles are food and they would eat it up, causing them to choke on it and die.
