Water pollution has been an increasing problem over the last few decades. What causes water pollution? How can we prevent this problem?

Water

is our most paramount asset as humans,

however

, humankind seems to not give it proper care. The rising number of catastrophes harming our reservatories is outstanding. Chemical plants and fuel

companies

are among the culprits of

this

issue and only the government and international authorities can resolve or at least get it under control.

Firstly

, there are several issues which may lead to

water

pollution, one of them is certainly oil leaks from ships.

For example

, the many accidents from renowned fuel

companies

that happened during the transport from one country to another by sea, where a full cargo ship leaked several litres of oil contaminating the sea fauna and flora of that place. The possible solution for

this

issue remains in the hands of higher authorities that should imply hard fines and ensure that will not happen again.

Secondly

, another cause comes from the industry as well, when they do not manage properly their sewage waste.

For instance

, chemical plants that not have filters and treatment for their waste and keep dumping them in the sewage system making it impossible, or at least, too expensive to have clean

water

again.

Therefore

, again the society relies on government actions to tackle

this

problem, not only with often specialized fiscalization but make these

companies

pay for

water

treatment stations. In conclusion, all significant problems linked with polluted

water

comes from our industries.

Nevertheless

, the solutions are not that difficult, the government must do their work and keep a close eye on

this

matter.

Furthermore

, when accidents take place,

companies

must do something in favour of our environment.
