Everywhere we go, we are not safe with our environment around us. Our air, even our water is now polluted with dirts coming from different contamination. We are not sure if the water we are drinking is still safe or what will be its effect to our health? These but are just the result of man's negligence of its environment, the result of many discoveries that they didn't even notice that it already resulted to pollution.
Water pollution is the contamination of the water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, groundwater).
Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water; and, in almost all cases affect is damaging not only to individual species and population, but also to the natural biological communities. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.
Water pollution is a major problem in the global context. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily.
