Identity And Environment: Water Pollution In The US

     Keeping the pollution to a minimal isn’t the easiest thing in the world to do. The major water pollutants are chemical, biological, or physical materials that

Water contamination is vastly becoming an alarming issue across the world. We rely on clean water to survive, yet right now we are heading towards a water crisis. Changing climate patterns are threatening lakes and rivers, and key sources that we tap for drinking water are being overdrawn or tainted with pollution (www.nrdc.org). Clean and plentiful water is the cornerstone of prosperous communities. Yet as we enter the 21st century, swelling demand and changing climate patterns are

Not only is pollution the cause of the death of many organisms essential to ecological balance, but human drinking water has also been affected.

Water is probably the most important resource we as people have. Humans can survive without food for several weeks, but without water we would die in less than a week. On a slightly less dramatic note, millions of liters of water are needed every day worldwide for washing, irrigating crops, and cooling industrial processes, not to mention leisure industries such as swimming pools and water-sports centers. Despite our dependence on water, we use it as a dumping ground for all sorts of waste, and do very little to protect the water supplies we have.

In the United States, the available water resources is also under assault. Half of water collected and stored by existing infrastructure is usually used in the production of electricity. This forces the population to use and divide what little there is left. This has always been a “good enough” approach until now, when water prices and population is on the rise.(3) There are already calls for charging water resources in order to increase efficiency of use.(3) Water protection is already being carried out and has been for years, but there is still water pollution occurring within the United States. After the Civil war, America strived to provide its population with clean water

it has in store for the future if things do not improve. It will also explore

My only hope is that we can stop this polluting of our waters before it is too late. It is only a matter of time before these pollutants start affecting the food that we fish out of these waters and put into our bodies. Who is to say that a contaminated fish would not in turn make the person that eats that fish sick as well. It is already fact that 40% of America’s rivers and 46% of America’s lakes are already too polluted for fishing, swimming, or aquatic life. (Grinningplanet.com) Let’s take the steps to make sure that percentage does not get any worse.

It is easy person to point their finger at big industrial and chemical plants and blame them for the cause of so much pollution in our water. When taking a closer look, those same people pointing the finger are equally contributing to the pollution of our water supply and are also to blame. This person could be a friend, family member, classmate, or even you. Even if people do not think that they have a part in this, most do. A variety of data has shown traces of pharmaceuticals used by every day humans in our water. As well as pharmaceuticals there is a presence of chemical contaminants, mainly pesticides that are causing harm to our environment and wildlife. Even humans can be affected by such contamination in the water supply, and

Our planet, Earth, is nicknamed the blue planet because of the large amounts of water existing on it. There are 332 million cubic miles of water on the surface of planet Earth (Lyons). Although we have so much water, many of the people on Earth don’t have access to it. More than a million people do not have access to safe and clean water. Planet Earth has millions of cubic miles of water but we are polluting our waters too much. Soon there may not be any clean and safe water for us to survive on. Water pollution is very harmful to the environment and it is causing many disasters on the planet. It is one of the most important problems the Earth is facing.

Water contamination in America has been caused by numerous things that we do on the everyday Bases before we rest around evening time. For instance Driving, Placing oil in the auto , tossing unfilled jug, manufacturing plants that work regular in morning the significant reason for contamination to america soil, there are 43 thousand of plant in america that work ordinary and evenings.Without sound water for drinking, cooking, angling, and cultivating, humankind would die. Clean water is additionally fundamental for recreational interests, for example, swimming, drifting, and water skiing. However, when Congress started surveying national water quality amid the mid 1970s, it found that a great part of the nation's groundwater and surface water

The world needs water and there are sometimes limitations. The amount of water on Earth has not changed, but people still worry about water shortage because of the population growth. Droughts are limiting the fresh water and a solution is desalinization. Water pollution is also a problem, but there are many things to stop it. Humans need to work together to prevent these things.

The one thing humans need on this planet to survive is water. If we need water to survive, then why are polluting it? Most of our nation’s waterways are in terrible condition because of the pollution in the water. Water pollution not only can cause illnesses, but also deaths for humans. Humans aren’t the only thing that water pollution causes harm to. It is also hurting our ecosystem. Humans are the leading cause of most water pollution. We keep throwing wastes into the water making the water unsafe for humans to drink. Scientists are coming up with ways for humans to decrease the amount of wastes they are putting in the water. We need to stop polluting the one thing that keeps us alive.

Many people have suffered from water crisis. Places like California have been dealt with this for some time and has affected so many people lives. Is destroying the most important areas where water is needed. In addition, several people get caught by this situation which eventually leads to death. This is definitely a major issue in today 's world since is destroying the state of California. Most people who come to California for their first time are not even aware that these problems occur and are just putting their one life in risk. Water should to be conserved in order to keep it in the years to come.

When we talk about how water is being polluted we just justify ourselves saying that there is a lot of water in this world and that a little bit of it getting damaged doesn’t matter at all. To understand the consequences of water pollution we first have to know what water pollution is and how it happens. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies like lakes, rivers and oceans. This form of environmental degradation occurs “when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds” (“Wikipedia”). Chemical waste from factories is sometimes dumped into rivers and lakes. These chemical

Water pollution and lack of clean water is affecting our health. Water pollution and contaminated water is hurting us here in the United State and all around the world. We need to take charge and stop throwing harmful things into our
