What is Water Pollution? 

Define Eutrophication 

Thermal pollution and 

Other Waste.

Water Pollution:

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies.

Eutrophication:

Eutrophication is the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with nutrients, leading to plentiful growth of simple plant life.

 Eutrophication, the gradual increase in the concentration of phosphorus, nitrogen, and other plant nutrients in an aquatic ecosystem such as a lake.

Thermal pollution:

A thermal pollution is the use of water as a coolant by power

plants and industries. When water used as a coolant is

returned to the natural environment at a higher temperature,

the sudden change in temperature decreases oxygen supply

and affects the ecosystem.

 The higher the temperature, the less soluble a gas becomes in water.

 Other waste:

Chemicals discharged from factories can also pollute

our water.

Pesticides:

Pesticides are chemical substances that are meant to kill pests.

In our drinking water is another problem

Lead in water:

Lead is a toxic metal. Like other heavy metals.

lead water pipes have been banned Lead is not very soluble in water but a little does dissolve, and that is

enough to cause problems.
