Water pollution is the contamination of any body of water (lakes, groundwater, oceans, etc). Some examples of water pollution:
-
Raw sewage running into lake or streams
-
Industrial waste spills contaminating groundwater
-
Radiation spills or nuclear accidents
-
Illegal dumping of substances or items within bodies of water
-
Biological contamination, such as bacteria growth
-
Farm runoff into nearby bodies of water
These kinds of environmental pollution are linked to health issues in humans, animals and plant-life. You can read more about how the
