In fa Si i Fe cae the Same water which we drink has been around in one form or the other since the time of the dinosaurs, . Water pollution is the contamination of water sources by substances which make the Water unusable for drinking, cooking, cleaning and other activities. Polhutants include Shela ‘wash, bacteria, and parasites. All forms of pollution eventually make their way to water. Water pollutants may cause disease or act as poisons. Bacteria and parasites in poorly treated sewage may enter drinking water supplies and cause digestive problems such as cholera and diarrhea. SOURCES OF WATER POLLUTION The key causatives of water pollution in India are: + Urbanization, + Deforestation. + Industrial effluents, Social and Religious Practices, Use of Detergents and Fertilizers. Agricultural run-offs- Use of insecticides and pesticides. EFFECTS OF WATER POLLUTION The effect of water pollution depends upon the type of pollutants and their concentration. Also, the location of water bodies is an important factor to determine the levels of pollution, Water bodies in the vicinity of urban areas are extremely polluted. This is the result of dumping, garbage and toxic chemicals by industrial and commercial establishments, Water pollution drastically affects aquatic life. It affects their metabolism, and behaviour, and causes illness and eventual death. Dioxin is a chemical that causes a lot of problems from Teproduction to uncontrolled cell growth or cancer. This chemical is bio accumulated in fish, chicken and meat. Chemicals such as this travel up the food chain before entering the human body. The effect of water pollution can have a huge impact on the food chain. It disrupts the food chain. Cadmium and lead are some toxic substances, these pollutants upon entering the food chain through animals (fish when consumed by animals, humans) can continue to disrupt at higher levels, (© scanned with OKEN Scanner16 it eval «Humans are affected by pollution and ean contact diseases such as hepatitis through fs matter in water sources.
