Polluted water

around the planet.

Water Pollution in India

Causes

The causes of water pollutionMarine dumping

Dumping of litter in the sea can cause huge problems. Litter items such as 6-pack ring packaging can get caught in marine animals and may result in death.

 

Industrial waste also has detrimental effects on water quality

Unfortunately, the everyday products we use, such as household cleaning products, personal hygiene products and pharmaceutical medications are some of the most significant causes of water pollution. . 

Pesticides are one of the most significant causes of water pollution.  Many think this only applies to farmers whom spray large crop fields with chemical pesticides.  The reality is, the lawn products that everyday suburban residents apply to their home lawns results in a higher pollution per square foot than the farms.  In some regions, the ability to remove specific pesticide contaminants in the water purification process is an investment that can cost hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
