Water Pollution

Water is an is very important element that our body need to continue survive. About 70% of an healthy human's body is made up of water. Because of that, you can't live without water more than a week. Lack of water lead to dehydration which reduce the amount of blood and force your heart to pump faster. With dehydration, you start to feel dizzy. Then you start to have a headache, and then fade out. As the result you can die by dehydration.

The best choice to have a healthy body is drink 8 cups of our a day. Drinking too much water is also bad for your body. However, these days, water are being pollute by human activities. Everyday, we do a lot of activities that using water like flushing toilet, wash your car, shower, and have you ever wonder where all of that dirty water will go? In some developed country, that water is cleaned and dumped into the sea. However, in some country that hasn't develop yet, dirty water is dumped into the sea without treated. As the result, the sea water get dirtier every day, and this is the first cause of water pollution.

The second cause also have to do with human daily activities. Everyday human eat and poop.  After you poop, you flush the toilet and the poop travel through a septic tank that connect to your house.  Inside this tank, the solid part and the liquid part is separated. Biological processes are used to break down the solids and the liquid is usually drained out into a land drainage system. From this stage, it can escape into the soil and nearby water bodies.

Moreover, water pollution also cause by other issue such as air pollution. Polluted air mix with mist in air which lead to acid rain.  At this time, all the toxic in polluted air are mix with water in the sea or river. Another main cause of water pollution is the death of sea animal. Dead fish, crabs, birds and sea gulls, dolphins, and many other animals often wind up on beaches, killed by pollutants in their habitat (living environment).

We can't drink polluted water so we may face a huge problem without clean water. What can we do to solve this issue? The easiest thing you can do is pick up any trash you sea at the beach or avoid throwing trash into rivers or beaches. This will reduce the chance of water getting dirty by human activities. The second think is make sure the septic tank in your house work properly so it will reduce the chance water pollution caused by machine.
