Water pollution affects life in many ways. Here are some ways to deal with them are as follows.
Some pollutants reduce oxygen levels in water bodies and make the survival of aquatic life difficult. To prevent this, it is important to control nutrient flow and properly treat sewage and industrial waste that encourage excessive algae growth.
Heavy metals present in polluted water, can accumulate in the tissues of aquatic organisms. These metals also harm human health if people consume them as food. Preventing industrial wastewater from entering waterways can minimize emissions of such pollutants.
Water-borne diseases like hepatitis, cholera, dysentery, etc. are caused by harmful microbes. Ensuring proper treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater, compliance with good sanitary and hygiene requirements, and providing access to clean drinking water are crucial in preventing water-borne diseases.
