Freshwater Resource Issue

The issue I chose to my freshwater resource issue is water pollution. There is an astonishing seventy percent of water covering the earth’s surface. That is a very substantial amount of water with an equal amount of water pollution opportunity. The definition of water pollution is the contamination of water bodies. Any variation of lakes, oceans, rivers, and groundwater are vulnerable to various bacteria and chemical compounds. There are many origins that water pollution can derive from. Man made pollution practice are the most scrutinized and influential on human life. However, natural pollutants belonging to origins such as plant matter present the same harmful pollutants.

The main components surrounding pollutants either direct or indirect vary. Pathogens, chemicals, and ocean thermal pollution are all issues associated with water pollution. Consider the seventy percent of earth that is water. Of that seventy percent, how much is drinkable, usable, or harmful? Natural water pollution presents itself in different circumstance. Storm water runoff from plants being poisonous or possessing bacteria infiltrates the water system of things. Ocean water, which is predominately salt water, is non drinkable or preferred for human use or consumption. Ocean water, as well as untreated water that are polluted offers harmful disease and health risks to humans and animals alike. Prevention of bacteria spreading and disease requires human water treating to remove harmful pollutants. However, if treatment practices are not done correctly the presence will remain and spread. Humans are accredited with many procedures leading to water pollution. Sewage, fisheries, aquaculture, off shore mining, global warming, and coastal developments all contribute to human produced water pollution. Recently in the news, the world was aware of the BP oil spill originated by off shore oil mining. Most of the gulf coast and surrounding lands was affected. Fishing,
