Water pollution refers to the contamination of water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, primarily due to human activities. This pollution can arise from various sources, including industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, and sewage disposal, leading to harmful effects on aquatic life and ecosystems. The consequences of water pollution are severe, affecting not only wildlife but also human health. Polluted water can carry diseases and toxins, making it unsafe for drinking, swimming, and fishing. Efforts to combat water pollution include stricter regulations, pollution control technologies, and public awareness campaigns.
