Water
is one of the necessities of every living being on earth, and it is impossible to imagine life without it. The news of rising pollution in
water
bodies has become a major issue in the past few years, which is making it difficult to sustain not only
animals
but
also
people
. The discussion behind its causes and prevention will be elaborated in the subsequent paragraphs.
The chief cause behind
this
crisis is the exponential growth in population and the increasing demand and need to maintain the lifestyle. The citizens' desire to lead a better life with excessive usage to follow the trend and the ignorant attitude to maintain the standard of the environment is why nature is deteriorating. To exemplify, the Textile industry has been one of the significant contributors to damaging climate. Almost 85% of clothes are dumped into rivers, and
this
further
generates microfibres which lead to the death of aquatic
animals
, not only
this
, it
also
poses a threat to human life, because contaminated
water
from rivers is
also
used for irrigation.
Moreover
, speaking of the trend, plastic products are non-biodegradable, so their use for a prolonged period has steadily decreased the quality of
water
,
along with
this
, other causes,
such
as medicinal waste, household waste and oil spills
also
made the
water
poisonous. To justify, every year,
people
in India, after religious ceremonies,
people
discard idols into
water
. Lack of knowledge and awareness has affected the
overall
water
system.
However
, a plethora of ways can be adopted to improve the
water
quality.
First,
reduce the use of plastic and
instead
use bags made out of clothes, because plastics are hazardous for many
water
animals
, they think it to be food and
subsequently
die by getting choked.
Next,
individuals must refrain from chucking the remains of medicines or any perilous household materials into the toilet.
Therefore
, it is possible to combat
this
challenge if both the commoners and prominent
people
come together and take the necessary steps.
To conclude
, growing lifestyle
along with
the needs and demands, heaps of waste is generated and all of them are dumped into
water
bodies. Contributing to lowering the quality of
water
, increasing disease and harming
water
animals
.
However
, if the citizens undertake preventive measures like reducing plastic usage and stopping themselves from discarding harmful materials, pollution in
water
can be ignored.
