Water Pollution is very bad because when petroleum leaks into the water, it causes pollution that kills fish and animals. This means if all of our animals and fish die we will run out of food and we may die.

Over 70% of the Earths surface, water is undoubtedly the most precious natural resource that exists on our planet. Without water, life on Earth would be non-existent. Water helps everything grow. Although we humans recognize this fact, we disregard it by polluting our rivers, lakes, and oceans. Slowly but surely we are harming our planet to the point where organisms are dying off, our drinking water has become greatly affected as is our ability to use water for recreational purposes.

Three main forms of water pollution exist in the forms of petroleum, radioactive substances, and heats. Petroleum pollutes water in the form of oil. Radioactive substances are produced in the form of waste from nuclear power plants, industrial, medical, and scientific use. Heat is a pollutant because it has increased temperatures result in the deaths of many aquatic organisms.

If we drink polluted water we can have serious effects because bacteria and virus' get in our drinking water. Some people even die from it. Most of water pollution comes from us humans and our recreational activities. Some are from industrial and other factories. Acid water is very dangerous. It can kill us so we need to keep our water clean so it doesn't get into our drinking water Many people say that water pollution is not a problem but it is! We need to stop polluting the water before every living thing dies. We need to act fast. Our planet is in danger! Everyone needs to make the right choice. To recycle, stop global warming, and stop polluting the water!
