POLLUTION OF RIVERS, LAKES AND SEAS IS MAJOR CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SEEK TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT. WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF WATER POLLUTION, AND WHAT EFFECTS DOES THIS HAVE ON ANIMAL LIFE AND HUMAN SOCIETY?

Water contamination is a burning issue and it has increased at an alarming rate. Nowadays, one of the main concerns of the human beings is water pollution which can threaten both humans and the environment. Apparently, modernization and westernization are to be blamed for this universal phenomenon. However, it begets harrowing upshots on society.

Fundamentally, predominant factors that evidently trigger it can be observed. To begin with, one of the major causes of water pollution is dumping of industrial waste in the rivers and lakes. Majority of Industries are located on the outskirts of the cities and its proximity is close to water bodies due to which factories easily discharge polluted material. In every state, landfills are located and waste from industries should be dropped there. Nonetheless, the household waste and improper drainage system in society leads to water pollution. According to BBC 5 to 7 tons of waste residual in form of water every year drain into river and lakes by the factories. Secondly, the prolific increase waste fuel from nuclear power plants.  All the nuclear testing is near to oceans and seas resultantly there negative impacts affect the humans and marine life.

Nevertheless, it entails myriad detrimental effects. Chiefly, the increased pollution level in the water of sea and lakes have its own inherited downsides to the humans and animals. Pollution matters because it harms the environment on which people depend. The environment is not something distant and separate from our lives. It's not a pretty shoreline hundreds of miles from our homes or a wilderness landscape that we see only on TV. The environment is everything that surrounds us that gives us life and health. Destroying the environment ultimately reduces the quality of our own lives and that, most selfishly, is why pollution should matter to all of us.

 Suffice to say, society must ensure steps are taken to prevent this problem from deteriorating further. A myriad of partial fixes exits for this issue yet a permanent solution is still out of reach.
