Water Pollution Sources and Its Effect on Human Health

People think differently about the increasing water pollution. Water pollution is just the mixture of sewage water and some chemicals along with industrial residue, which is being mixed with the drinking water. Developing countries like India are facing more problems of water pollution these days. The developed nations have now become capable of getting rid of the polluted water. But the developing nations are still traveling on the path to get pure water, free from all kinds of pollutants.

Some of the major sources which result in water pollution are as follows:
· Industrial Wastage: It is considered to be one of the most dangerous sources of water pollution. This wastage contains harmful chemicals, which can lead to dangerous diseases like cancer. Industrial wastages also include salts, dyes, oils, etc. A chemical known as mono methyl mercury, which is being produced by the industries is being carried along with the water which can damage the human brain.

· Silt: It causes water pollution at very early stages. Here, the soil from the mountains is being mixed along with ground water and rain water. Sometimes tiny microorganisms are also being observed in the drinking water due to silt.
· Sewage and Domestic Wastes: This cause of water pollution is extremely responsible for the bad health of human beings. In the sewage various microorganisms are present. They get mixed with the water and hence become hazardous for health. Diseases like cholera, jaundice, typhoid, etc. are very common with this source of water pollution.
There are uncountable contaminants, which pollute the water. Major part of these contaminants affects your health, but many don’t. Cleaning this polluted water is not a simple task and requires various steps to follow. However, the very first step which one should take at once is to set a filter at the home. The filtering of water is extremely effective and helps you take clean and purified water. Water without filtering; which is taken directly from the tap can be quite dangerous for your health?

Every human blames science for the cause of water pollution, but the fact is that every human and the whole of mankind are responsible for this cause. We are unaware of the fact, but the more the water pollution increases, the more increases the toxicity of the water, leading to deaths of various water animals. Now scientists have started using chlorine with the water, making it suitable for humans to drink. Chlorine ensures that each time you open your tap; you get clean water to drink. One should be aware of the fact that water pollution is not creating a problem for anyone else, but for themselves only.

It should be the principal duty of every human alive on earth to keep the water clean and try to stop others who tend to pollute the water. The polluted water in some or the other way is being consumed by you, and hence you need to stop it as soon as possible. Clean water will lead to good health and a healthier future.
