Pollution of rivers, lakes and seas is a major concern for people who seek to protect the environment. What are the possible causes of water pollution and what effect does this have an animal life and human society.

Contamination of the

water

bodies

poses a major concern for conservationists. The

causes

of

water

adulteration are indiscriminate dumping of refuse and unlawful

water

activities.

This

dissertation will discuss the above-stated

causes

and explain the effects

water

pollution

have on animal and human. One of the major

causes

of

water

pollution

is people's haphazard behaviour with regard to the dumping of refuse. In most cities, many folks have the habit of going to throw their waste inside the estuary or dumping it inside the gutters so that rainfall will carry it to the tributary.

This

form of waste disposal has posed a great risk and danger to the

water

bodies

. Another cause of

water

pollution

is some of the activities that society carries in the

water

, activities

such

as fishing. The manner in which the population do

this

fishing activity has damaged a lot of

rivers

and seas.

For instance

, fishermen who go about pouring harmful chemicals inside the

river

so as to kill a lot of fish end up polluting the

water

bodies

. There are so many adverse effects of

water

pollution

on

animals

and human society.

To begin

with

animals

, lots of

animals

depend on the

water

bodies

for hydration, the wild

animals

often go to the

river

to drink from it and the fishes in the

rivers

depend on how pure the

water

is for their survival.

Therefore

, when the

water

is contaminated, the health of every animal drinking from the

river

would be endangered and on many occasions, the fish in the

river

have died because of contaminated

water

. Turning the human society a lot of regions in the world are suffering from a poor

water

supply,

this

is because the organization in charge of

water

supply are finding it very difficult to get neat

water

to supply since the majority of the seas are

rivers

are contaminated. Apart from that, excessive dumping of cabbages in the ocean and stream

also

leads to rising sea levels leading to flooding. In conclusion, the adulteration of seas and

rivers

is of great concern for ecologists. The

causes

of

water

abuse are inappropriate waste disposal and indiscriminate chemical use during fishing.

As a result

, the

animals

and any human that drink the contaminated

water

would be at risk.

Secondly

,

this

deterioration of

water

bodies

also

leads to flooding.
