Theme:Water Pollution

by Malewo Chiwanga | 01-04-2022 05:19 recommendations 0

Water pollution refers to the contamination of water sources  by things which make the water unusable for various services such as cooking, drinking, cleaning and even swimming.
Ever since the industrial revolution and the introduction of mass contaminates in the air, water pollution has risen like no other pollution in comparison till this very day there are sadly many pure  water sources which are constantly falling victim to  contamination causing continued damage humans cause most surface water pollution wether on purpose or accidentally through oil spills or fertiliser infiltration but there are also naturally occurring causes for water pollution such as an excess of nutritients on water causing an imbalance and Microbiological pollution of bacteria and viruses such as cholera and bilharzia this type of natural water pollution is especially harmful to humans. Unfortunately I have witnessed this first-hand in my country where we have suffered many outbreaks of typhoid and cholera due to natural water pollution and an unregulated water system

    Hello Malewo, this is your mentor Joon.

    It is irony that there are people suffering as they do not have adequate access to clean water, on the other hand people are contaminating it. It is much worse if both is happening in the same stream. So many people have suffered from waterborne diseases, but there are still some parts of the world not benefiting from proper infrastructure to purify water. All the social cost would outweigh the cost of installing the infrastructure, and therefore, I wish government entities invest more on such systems.

    Well read your article, and let's keep up!

    Best,

    Joon

    Hello Malewo, this is your mentor Chelwoon.

    I am sorry to hear that many people in your local region have suffered from the various diseases due to water pollution. Water is a precious and natural resource. However, ¡®humans?? who cannot live without water are one of the leading causes of water contamination. Environmental break down reaches us faster as time goes by. What do you think is the main cause of water pollution in your country?

    Thank you for the article!

    Regards,
