This article‚ therefore‚ will introduce three methods to deal with water pollution; they are the implementation of taxation‚ the development of water treatment projects and the enactment of international law. Among three solutions‚ in my perspective‚ the international law is the most feasible. 1. The Implementation of Taxation One of the methods of tackling pollution could be implementing

wastewaters from different sources. Sewage is correctly the subset of wastewater that is contaminated with feces or urine‚ but is often used to mean any waste water. "Sewage" includes domestic‚ municipal‚ or industrial liquid waste products disposed of‚ usually via a pipe or sewer or similar structure‚ sometimes in a cesspool emptier. The physical infrastructure‚ including pipes‚ pumps‚ screens‚ channels etc. Used to convey sewage from its origin to the point of eventual treatment or disposal is termed sewerage

Biochemical Oxygen Demand: Organic wastes that decay in a body of water. decrease the amount of oxygen found in it. The living things in the lake need oxygen to survive. If the oxygen level is depressed to zero‚ all fish in the lake die. Any decomposition that does not contain oxygen starts to generate noxious gases such as Hydrogen Sulfide. Pulp and paper mills‚ and municipal sewage causes BOD. Nutrients:

Water Pollution Part II Amanda Norris Groundwater Pollution pg. 502: Describe : Groundwater is the water we drink. Few countries go to the great expense of locating‚ tracking‚ and testing aquifers. Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) contaminate 90% of the U.S. aquifers‚ but 2% of samples had unsafe VOC levels. The US found that ⅓of the 26k industrial waste ponds didn’t have liners to prevent toxic liquid wastes from seeping into aquifers. The EPA had completed the cleanup of 297k of the 436k underground

Answer 1: The general idea of wastewater treatment plants is to decrease the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the runoff into the lakes and streams‚ and do so by meeting the standards of the state and federal government. The purpose of the treatment plants is to feed oxygen and organic waste to

Thus‚ Environmental Protection Department (1997) announced that a Harbour Area Treatment Project was launched. It is a long term project to stop sewage being dumped into the harbour. Also‚ the Environmental Protection Department is responsible for controlling and monitoring the quality of both marine and river water in Hong Kong. 3. Categorization of Water Pollution
