The Detrimental Effects Of Water Pollution

[Hurt4love 2]

The consequences of pollution on water quality and sea water may be the reason for the destruction of those beautiful sea creature. The consequences of pollution on the water quality can differ greatly according to what sort of pollutant has affected the water and how great the effect was on the sea water. Far greater damage are inflicted on the water quality from littering substances that are highly dangerous amd not recommended legally so the creatures end up consuming that polluted water into their bodies and that ends up causing more damage to the sea water.The most bothersome and troublesome issues involving water quality are the health issues that are results of the pollutants and micro creatures and organisms living in lakes or streams or ecosystems due to exhaustion and polluting all the surroundings. Most of the creatures that are paying a price because of pollution, are dolphins that you can no longer fantasize about idealy in beaches, because they are being found dead at shore and that is the nice damage the water pollution is leaving for us. The consequences of water quality is not only a concern of environmental damage but also a concern for animal rights too to have a good life quality. These poor pollution consumers suffer several healthcare conditions i.e. hepatitis and much more than that after being intoxicated via impure oceans.While we sit here enjoying cake and desserts, there is a massive animal massacre taking place in the oceans and dangerous waste being dumped into into lakes, seas, etc. Although fertilizers are necessary and similarly are oil variations, the challenge is dumping all these pollutants into lakes and ignoring plant life and sea water and instead operating machines that induce green coloured viscous substances and dumps them into the ocean.Also, standard tap water is in critical danger and so are a lot of other features needed in our everyday living i.e. consumption of polluted food, taking a shower, washing machines, etc. Particularly sea water is being affected the most now and another pollution that makes the environment vulnerable is air pollution, which also causes many natural damages and challenges. That calls for solutions and an extensive research on how to turn impure sea water into water that can be used again. Finally, environmentalists and researchers all over the world can make a difference and change what is happening to your favorite lake or stream, if only they hear your voices.The consequences of water quality may perhaps change by simply individuals like you and I coming together to save a nearby sea water and who else take pleasure with sea water recreations. Dirty water life, rivers and seas make a very endangered environmental issue at the moment. The kind of sea water is generally a host of harmful microorganisms if it's impure and by that posing as a danger among human and animal because of the venemous waste content, which can commonly be detrimental. Over-all, the consequences of water quality affects sea water and it can be saved by someone like you and I if we make the step of voicing to those responsible our feelings towards this kind of pollution.

While I agree with you about the importance of water, especially when you take into considerating our bodies are made up of like 70% water, I believe your state above is just a bit of a stretch. More than a bit actually. Cake made from flour grown in wheat fields in the mid west has absolutly nothing to do with polution to the oceans. I think that's one of the things that annoy me the most about enviornmentalists. Trying to lay a guilt trip on the rest of the population to shame us into "compliance" with radical notions that may or may not have some basis in fact. If you would stick to real science and true facts, you'd be a lot better off. Face it, how many people are going to contribute to a campaigne that that says, "eat cake kill a dolphin?" Sure, lots of dumb people out there, but I would hope not that dumb. The 2 just have no connections in reality to make a believable campaigne that you can get people to get behind and support.

I think we would have a much better outcome if we leave out the sensationalism and put our energies into good common sense solutions to enviornmental issues. Ones that we can all live with, and continue to live on and share this planet.

I would point out that the original poster does not relate eating cakes as a causal effect to water pollution in their posting, but the fact that many of the chemicals used on grain fields in the Mid-west do, in fact, end up in the water taps and the water supply. When it rains, the fertilizers and chemicals enter the run-off or leech into the local acquifers and accumulate there. Eventually, these undesirable chemicals end up in the oceans.The oceans have limits to how many of these chemicals, and limits on the concentration of these chemicals, which it can contain without affecting the eco-systems found in the waterways. Humanity needs to be aware of the importance of its water supply and stop polluting it or suffer the consequences.

Yes, that is what we have all been told. I have to wonder though really, is it true or exactly how much chemicals actually make it to the ocean? There is an awful lot of dirt between the Kansas wheat field and the Atlantic Ocean. It would have to pass all the way threw Oklahoma and then Texas, and there is a lot of Texas. Chemical fertilizers are designed with chemicals that are used by plants. The plants take up the chemicals and make them up into plant parts. It would seem that any excess run off would just be used by the plants where ever the run off rain carried it.

The excess chemicals are carried by the run-off into the ground water reserves (aquifers) which stores water underground. Eventually, by way of the water cycle, the water and chemicals do end up in the oceans in larger quantities than the oceans can normally remove, so the ocean's chemistry is changed by these chemicals which upsets the 'normal' biology of its ecosystem and their equilbrium. Once this natural balance is disrupted, problems begin.

Ok, that's all true, but then again, most wells are tapped into the aquifers, and a large part of this water is used long before any overflow can make it to the ocean. In times of drought, like we have now, the aquifers are not exactly overstocked with water. I don't think much is getting to the oceans at all. In our area, some of the more shallow wells are actually going dry. So if it is as you say, being stored in the aquifers, and they are not being constantly replenished by rainfall, there is not going to be any dumping in the ocean.

Actually, the levels of the major aquifers in North America are low due to the usage by the residents.There is more water being pumped out of the aquifers than Mother Nature is supplying, so the levels are dropping.Shallow wells are not enough. They need to be drilled deeper.But the big picture needs to be reviewed here. By continuing to pump water from deep wells in quantities the aquifers can not supply, eventually, these aquifers will be empty unless something changes. And this has been going on for many years. This phenomenon is not due to the current drought in the USA. The drought just makes the effect more noticeable.Water is the world's next oil.Are you prepared to go to war over a glass of water? It will be happening soon enough some place on this planet.
