Water Pollution

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies like lakes, rivers oceans and ground water. The water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly in to water bodies without a treatment to remove harmful compounds.

They are many causes for water pollution. The most important one is the inclustrial water. Industrial waste is the name given to unwanted chemical gases, liquids or solids that are produced as a result of industrial processes. When this industrial waste released in to rivers or the sea, it can cause serious damage to the environment. The liquid waste that is poured in to rivers or the sea can enter out food or out drinking water and can cause serious liver and kidney damage to people. It also affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water.
Another cause for water pollution is throwing rubbish in the sea or river by the people who visit these places. It is sad to see such view in our beaches in Oman or any place.

To sum up water pollution which is caused by people can damage the biological communities so it is important to get rid of these wastes safely. Let us keep our Oman clean and beautiful.
