Abstract

Water is required for life to exist. It is unnecessary to emphasize how vital it is. On the other shand, water contamination is among the most important environmental concerns we face today. Toxic compounds enter bodies of water including lakes, rivers, and seas and are dissolved, floating in the water, or settle on the bottom, polluting the water. As a result, the water quality deteriorates. This would be disastrous not just for marine ecosystems, but also for groundwater, since contaminants would seep through and pollute the water we use in our everyday activities, including drinking. Water pollution may occur in a variety of ways, with municipal wastewater and industrial waste disposal being the most serious. Contaminants that reach the water supply via soils or groundwater systems, as well as rain, are examples of indirect causes of water contamination. Human agricultural practices, as well as illegally disposed of industrial wastes, pollute soils and groundwater. Contaminants include organic, chemical, radioactive, as well as other types.
