water

is the only liquid known for its extravagant soluble qualities. Bearing that in mind, many factors contribute to the contamination of these

bodies.

Firstly

, the city sewages are the highest donors to these tainted sources.

Secondly

, the agriculture sector. Farmers who apply fertilisers and pesticides fail to realise how much damage they are generating for marine life. During the rains, these harmful chemicals wash off from the farmlands and have adverse effects on the

Furthermore

, the extinction of aquatic animals has a drastic impact on other creatures.

For instance

, a recent study conducted by an environmental news channel states that the population of beluga whales has diminished due to the herbicides used in agricultural activities.

Moreover

, with the contents being dispersed in the groundwater, they can easily penetrate through our household

systems where it is used for our daily chores and drinking purposes, making us prone to deadly diseases like typhoid, cholera,etc. In conclusion, marine contamination has lethal repercussions on all life forms. If suitable
