Water Pollution

WATER POLLUTION

Water pollution is an increasing concern, which is created when waste is brung into the waters which makes the water polluted. Those who care for waterways are greatly concerned about water pollution as because they can see how much it has increased over the years and if nothing is done about it they know that it will just get too bad. In Rotorua and many other places around Aotearoa they have drain covers to help raise awareness that their are fish in the water and when you throw rubbish down the drains it eventually gets out to the water.

• Sometimes water pollution can occur through natural causes such as volcanoes, storms, floods etc.
• But most water pollution comes from human activity, some human causes include sewage, waste water and chemicals from construction sites but the main is trash from people littering.
• Oil spills, some of the most famous incidents of water pollution have been caused by oil spills.
