We have previously talked about many things about water. You have heard about these things many times already. Diseases, water crisis and many things due to water pollution. You now know the horrible effects of this environmental problem. Is this enough? Does it end here?
No. Knowing is not enough. You have to act to end this problem. But first you have to know its causes. Water pollutants are of different types but mostly four contributors are agriculture, natural, industrial pollutants and municipal. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and global warming are some of the natural pollutants. As a human, you cannot do anything about these natural calamities.
Agriculture is one of the major water pollutants. Animal wastes, pesticides and fertilizer often end up in streams, and rivers. This can be stopped by informing the farmers on proper waste disposal and the effects of water pollution.
Then comes the water pollution caused by the municipalities and industries. Industries dump toxic waste that have harmful effects on ecosystems and humans. Municipalities dump waste from the cities and residential areas to bodies of water. You might be one of these people who throw garbage to rivers and other bodies of water. We all know the case of Pasig River. This bad practice should be stopped. We need water, so let us protect it.
The point of this post is to say this. We are part of the problem we are facing. Let us begin now. We have to change our ways to combat this problem. Stop throwing your garbage at bodies of water. With this little act, you are helping reduce water pollution.
