Clearly read the story and think for a while

Hi I am H2O commonly called water. I originate from the
mountains and end at the ocean. I am clean when I start from
the mountain by gets dirty till I get to the ocean. I carry slits
and stone along with me. But to be more sad people dont care
about me. People are dumping waste on me and washing
clothes which is making me dirty. The big industries along the
rivers banks are pouring their waste on me. All the aquatic
living beings that depend on me for their survival are
becoming dead. People are forgetting that making me dirty
and sick makes them to sick as I am the most important living
source for the human race.
SAVE ME FOR YOUR SAFETY.

HELLOW! HERE
IS MY STORY.

Find out the ill effects of

water pollution. What bad
does it does for us? Discuss
about what we can do to solve

pictures.

Here are the bad effects of water pollution.

. Aquatic life is in danger because

of water pollution.
. There will be scarcity for fresh
drinking water.
. All the water resources will get

ENLARGING THE DEFINITION

D.3. WATER POLLUTION MAY ALSO BE

DEFINED AS A NATURAL OR INDUCED
CHANGE IN THE QUALITY OF WATER
WHICH RENDERS IT UNUSBLE OR
DANGEROUS AS REGARDS FOOD, HUMAN
AND ANIMAL HEALTH, INDUSTRY,
AGRICULTURE,FISHING OR LEISURE
PURSUITS.

WATER BEING A UNIVERSAL SOLVENT READILY GETS CONTAMINATED

BY THE MATERIAL WITH WHICH IT COMES INTO PHYSICAL CONTACT.
