Water Pollution

Water pollution or aquatic pollution refers to the contamination of water when harmful substances often micro-organisms of chemicals get into the water bodies such as lakes, rivers, streams, or other water bodies. Resulting of the pollution, water quality is degraded rendering the water to be toxic to human consumption and the environment according to AI-Taai (2021). Water is vulnerable to pollution due to its "universal solvent" feature as it can dissolve most of the substances compared to other liquids. Thus, water can easily be polluted by numerous toxic substances from factories, towns, and farms as it easily mixes with the toxins causing water pollution.
