WATER COMTAMINATION

Causes of water contamination 

Water is uniquely vulnerable to pollution. Known as a universal solvent, water is able to dissolve more substances than any other liquid on earth. It’s the reason we have Kool-Aid and brilliant blue waterfalls. It’s also why water is so easily polluted. Toxic substances from farms, towns, and factories readily dissolve into and mix with it, causing water pollution.
Comsequenses of water contamination 
When polluted water is found in our ecosystem, it leaves a trail of destruction. Polluted water that ends up in local streams and rivers will damage the life in and surrounding it. Vegetation that feeds on this water for survival can be damaged and killed from polluted streams. This will then affect the animal life in that area that depend on the vegetation for their survival. As the stream or river water dumps into larger bodies, such as the ocean, we will see ocean life suffering. This all has an effect on the entire ecosystem. It isn't limited to just one area or another.
