Water Pollution: Protecting our Water Resources


All living beings require clean water for survival. Human activities can add materials to water that can make water unfit for use, or pollute it. Polluted or dirty water affects the lives of plants and animals to the extent of making them unhealthy. In extreme cases, polluted water can even kill plants or animals. The best solution to control water pollution is to prevent it from happening. This is not always possible, so methods have been devised to remove pollutants from water. Filters are used to remove sediments. Undisturbed soil is a natural filter. As water passes through it, pollutants are trapped. There are also human-made filters. For example, drinking water treatment plants use sand filters. Other filters, like silt screens and straw bales, are used for construction sites. Filters help clean water but do not remove all of the pollutants. They do not necessarily remove some contaminants such as soluble chemicals and bacteria.
