Water Pollution

Water is also known as life. No single living being on this planet can survive without water. The major portion of the earth is covered with water. But pure drinking water is not widely available. Water is the most beautiful gift of nature so it's our duty to protect it from contamination. Without water, our survival will be impossible so we must conserve it. Life is very hard in deserts and drought-prone areas where it's very hard to collect water. To live, we need to eat and water is essential for growing foods. Without water, our economy, society all will be endangered. Without access to clean water, the living become jeopardized. But the water around us is polluted in many ways. Rapid industrialization is one of the major reasons for water pollution. Traditionally factories and mills are constructed on the bank of the river and it results in throwing chemicals and wastage in the water which causes water pollution. Due to the agricultural revolution for better growth of crops, farmers also use a huge amount of pesticides and fertilizer on the land. During rain, these are washed away and fall into rivers, canals, ponds and by this water get polluted. Accidental leakage of marine vehicles is also a major cause of water pollution in developing and developed countries. People also frequently dump garbage into water. In our country, while travel through marine vehicles like ships, ferry, boats people dump packets, remains of foods, cans into the water which is heavily responsible for water pollution. Drinking the contaminated water causes various diseases like cholera, typhoid, diarrhea et which often takes lives. The chemicals and pesticides when mixed with water also creates huge damage to our body and can create diseases like cancer. Our government has taken a long time plan, Delta Plan-2100 to protect our water resources. Now it's our own responsibility to protect our water resource and reduce water pollution.
