Water Pollution

Water a transparent and formless liquid that is one of the most important things that we have on planet Earth. Every living thing needs water to live, so it is considered to be the source of life, by many.

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that as of 2017, the world has gone downhill. We have polluted our clean water. Our fresh air is no longer fresh due to abusing the amount of fossil fuels we had and the ability and opportunity to use them during our everyday life. Additionally, we have decreased certain animal populations alarmingly and they are important resources. This letter was sent to you so that your future choices will benefit the world and future generations.

Not only has climate changed the natural habits of weather in the world, it has also started to melt the fresh water ice caps which is causing the sea levels to rise. Globally sea levels rose by eight inches in the past century. Within two decades sea levels have increased more than twice of the increases recorded in the last century. This has caused many cities and countries to slowly sink into the ocean for an example Virginia’s Tangier Island. The ocean has reclaimed about 70% of the island in the past century. To make things better the President of the United States “Donald Trump” told the mayor ‘Your Island has been there for hundreds of years, and I believe your island will be there for hundreds more.’ The denial of climate change has been around for a century now but that should not be a cause to not continue to improve the way things are done to reduce the pollutants released into the atmosphere. If people in many of these advanced countries started to use public transportation most of the emissions created by vehicals can be drastically decreased. If gas guzlers were swapped for something more eco the release of these harmful fumes can be decreased. If these guzzling cars are changed for cars with electricity and hydro fuel can also help the earth. Venice, Italy is another city that is in the state of panic. The City of Venice will flood time to time like it is a natural occurrence. This flooding issue hasn’t just been a recent issue it started since the beginning

Water is a transparent and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms, water can be liquid, solid or gas, is tasteless and odorless. Water covers 71% of the Earth's surface. On Earth, 97% of the planet's crust water is found in seas and oceans and only 3% of this water is freshwater, and 98.8% of that water is in ice.

All citizens should have access safe water. On January 9, 2014, nearly 300,000 citizens in the greater Charleston area were confronted with a situation where their water was no longer safe. This devastating situation was the result of a chemical spill of 4-methylcyclohexanemethanol (MCHM) into the Elk River just upstream from the West Virginia American Water (WVAW) treatment plant.

Water is an essential part of our everyday lives. We use it various activities, including; watering our yards, washing clothes dishes and cars, bathing ourselves and our pets, preparing food, and most importantly drinking. Our bodies are approximately sixty percent water. In order to survive, we need to drink plenty of water everyday to insure we do not get dehydrated. Without drinkable water, we would be sentenced to inevitable death. However, despite this, water pollution is one of the most common, and serious, ecological threats we face in today's world. It is important to be aware of the causes, effects, and dangers of water pollution. It is important to be educated on how we can help prevent water pollution as well.

Water is an essential to human life, our body uses water for hydration and various functions. For example, metabolism, digestion, and elimination of waste. Dehydration causes our bodies to feel tired and weak which is why we need about 20 liters of fresh water a day to survive. Water gives our bodies plenty of benefits for example: cleanses the skin, keeps joints lubricated, removes toxins,etc. Drinking plenty of water will reduce the amount of headaches you get and it will severely boost your immune system. If you want to keep your weight steady and healthy, water will sure do the job at helping with that. Since our brains are seventy-five percent water, drinking it will help you focus, think, concentrate, and be much more alert.

This lab will answer the question whether or not the water in the U-Creek is polluted using invertebrates as in indicator? Although there are many ways of measuring water quality, invertebrates are good indicators because the number of invertebrates indicates the ability to sustain life. Invertebrates will thrive in better quality water, whereas in poor quality water, invertebrates will not survive as well.

The lack of clean drinking water around the world is a highly discussed global issue. Many people are affected by this problem and it has a large negative effect on a large percentage of the world. 31.25% of people do not have access to properly treated, clean, safe water. This issue continues to grow everyday and many people continue to suffer. The reason this topic needs to be addressed is that the people in the world affected by their lack of clean water are suffering, contracting diseases, and dying, because of the conditions they live in. Moreover it is a large issue and affects millions, if not billions of people.

Did you know that eating the fish you love like tuna or shark could actually do harm to your body? Fishes are a great source of proteins, nutrients, and omega-3 fatty acids, however they’re also laden with mercury which could be a problem. The poisonous pollution of mercury is contaminating the ocean which then becomes methylmercury, can be dangerous if you consume a bountiful amount of fish containing high levels of mercury; therefore, individuals should reduce their consumption of fish containing high levels of mercury, corporations should find ways to reduce mercury pollution, and the federal government should make a law to reduce gold mines, coal burning power-plants, and factories in order to lower emissions.

Industrial water consumption makes up 22% of global water use. In 2009, European and North American industrial water use accounted for half of their total water use, whereas in developing nations industrial water use ranges from 4-12% of national water use [10]. As industrialisation in developing nations increases, industrial water use could potentially increase by a factor of 5, strongly increasing pressure on water resources [10]. Wastewater can be reused within the industry producing it or between several industries through ‘industrial symbiosis’ [11].

Pollution is harmful to the world that we have come to love and know. Pollution’s harmful effects on the natural world, our environment is tragic. Pollution is a hazard to a human’s health, and causes a vulnerable stage to the Earth’s ecosystem. There are several types of pollution such as; noise, water, air, thermal, and many more. Water pollution, in particular, is the contamination from harsh chemicals, from various outlets, that spread into the bodies of water that will affect humans, land animals, aquatic animals, living plants, and many more.

Water is not only a way to hydrate, but is crucial to the basis of all life. Washington has

The signs are alarming. We as citizens, business owners, and activists must stand up and make a change to create a more sustainable way of growing our populations and societies. Sustainability needs to become more implemented into the structure of corporations, cities, and countries. China, the most populous country in the world, is projected to have an insufficient supply of water by the year 2025. On top of the shortage of water China is facing they also have a major issue with water pollution. China’s freshwater supply is running scarcely low. Three main things that are affecting the water supply in China are; economic growth, population growth, and climate change.

Water is the lifeblood of every living creature on earth. Approximately 70 percent of the earth's surface is covered with water. Thought the wonders of nature, water can take on many different forms, form the water we drink, to the ice we use to chill a glass of lemonade, to the water vapor used to steam clean equipment equipment. It is easy to understand the significance water plays in our lives, but it may be much more difficult ot understand the water that exists below the earth's surface, called groundwater.
