 There are a great many
environmental problems that
effect every aspect of our
earth. Possibly the most
important and well known
among them are acid rain, air
pollution and smog, water
pollution, global warming,
depletion of the ozone layer,
depletion of the rain forests,
hazardous waste and
overpopulation.
Each environmental problem
has numerous causes and a
myriad of dangerous effects,
but fortunately and most
importantly, each problem
has a possible solution.
It need not be spelt out exactly how
important it is.
Yet water pollution is one of the
most serious ecological threats we
face today.
Water pollution happens when toxic
substances enter in water bodies
and so on, getting dissolved in them,
lying suspended in the water or
depositing on the bed.
The most important causes of water
pollution are industrial waste,
accidental oil leakage, chemical
fertilizers and pesticides and urban
development.
 Water is essential for human life and all
Percentage of global water supply: other life forms on earth.
Without access to water people are
oceania compelled to leave their homes and forced
europe to migrate.
The earth is often referred to as the blue
africa asia planet . This is because three quarters
of the globe is covered with oceans and
seas. The world's human population and
water distribution are not balanced,
north america especially in Asia.
In 2000 the United National Secretary
General Kofi Annan warned that national
rivalries over water could cause water
south america
was. The worst situation will be in Africa
and the Middle East.
