What is Water Pollution?
The contamination of usable
water by harmful substances
like chemicals or
microorganisms by any means.
On the other hand, activities
reducing the quality of water
are called water pollution.
Domestic wastes, food
processing wastes, livestock
operations can lead to the
contamination of freshwater
sources. Apart from all these,
we humans pollute freshwater
sources like ponds, rivers, and
water streams by throwing
household wastes and scraps
into them.

Why do we need to save
water?
Saving water is crucial for sustaining
life on Earth. With a growing
population and climate change, water
scarcity is becoming a pressing issue.
Conserving water reduces energy
consumption, decreases waste, and
preserves ecosystems. It also supports
agriculture, industry, and human
consumption.
Moreover, saving water helps maintain
biodiversity and ensures a sustainable
future. Simple actions like fixing leaks,
using efficient appliances, and
harvesting rainwater can make a
significant difference. Every drop
counts, and collective efforts can lead
to significant positive change
How can we prevent water
pollution?
• By implementing proper waste
management facilities, we can reduce
water pollution to a considerable
amount. The cause of the continuous
increase in water pollution is the
indigent waste management systems
in factories, companies, and homes.
As well as a human beings, stop
throwing wastes mainly into water
sources like ponds and rivers.
• As a group of human beings, we can
control the rate of water pollution to
a substantial amount. So what we
need can do is, we can aware people
around us about water pollution and
its future outcomes.
What each one of us can do?
Each of us can play a vital role in
saving water by making simple
changes in our daily habits. Start by
fixing leaky faucets and installing low-
flow fixtures. Take shorter showers
and turn off the tap while brushing
your teeth. Use water-efficient
appliances and harvest rainwater for
gardening. Use a bucket to wash cars
and bicycles instead of a hose. Use a
broom instead of a hose to clean
driveways and sidewalks. Every small
action counts, and collective efforts
can lead to significant water
conservation. Make water-saving a
habit to ensure a sustainable future.
