Water upheavals are intensifying because the population is growing fastest in places where fresh water is either scarce or polluted. Dry areas are becoming drier and wet areas wetter as the oceans and atmosphere warm. Economic roadblocks, such as the global credit crunch and its effects on attempts to sell bonds, multiply during a recession. Yet local governments that control water face unyielding pressure from constituents to keep the price low, regardless of cost. Agricultural interests, commercial developers and the housing industry clash over dwindling supplies. Every year millions of gallons of crude oil and toxic waste materials are dumped into our oceans and water reservoirs. These toxics come in three forms: Toxic
water pollution is when chemicals such as herbicides and
pesticides, leak into the water because of factories and
industrial buildings. Organic water pollution is when organic
matter, manure, or sewage enter the water.
Welcome and thank you for visiting.
