Water pollution

The water pollution is a very common topic nowadays because the society is not aware of the damage that it generates.

The main cause of pollution is the excess of the garbage in the drainage because they cover the sewers, industrial waste, water pollution from acid rain, discard oil in drains and excessive use of pesticides.

The main effects of the water pollution is the dead of species due to the contamination of their habitat, the human beings can get diseases for example the chikungunya, trash in strainers can generate floods that enters in the houses and this when being discarded it smells.

Also it generates economic problems which produce an increase in the cost of different products.

We would like to know why with so much information now people are not aware of the damage to the environment. Also, it would be good to know how to clean water already contaminated.

Suggestions

Some suggestions to decrease this issue would be to carry out campaigns or conferences that explain the importance of water in our lives, as well as giving topics about what could happen if water is still contaminated.

Also, teaching people to classify organic and inorganic waste so that there could be less pollution since sometimes this waste ends in rivers and oceans.

On the other hand, do not throw papers or any trash in the toilet as it goes directly to the sewers and rivers.

Elaborate campaigns in which the industries or factories are aware not to throw toxic waste or derivatives of the oil to rivers, lakes, etc.

At the same time to encourage the proper use of water during personal hygiene or when washing an object.

The government has also take steps to reduce water pollution.

The UN has made out campaigns to solve the problem of water such as reducing pollution by eliminating the dumping and reduction of industrial waste and chemicals.

The government has carried out campaigns to reduce water pollution, explotation of natural resources and deterioration of infrastructure.

The authorities carried out cleaning campaigns on the streets of the Atlacomulco, every certain time.

The authorities clean the strainers and the citizens classify their waste in organic and inorganic.

We as a team take actions to reduce water pollution and to get a better quality life. Some actions we take to reduce this problem are that we mustn’t throw trash in the strainers, we should re-use the water of the rain, we also shouldn’t buy detergents, we ought to separate the trash.

We ought not leave the faucet open and, we must read campaigns to solve the problem, we needn’t throw oil in the rivers, we may put trash cans in the street, we might participate in campaigns organizated for the authorities and we could clean the street every week.

In this work we carry out research which helped us to improve our work which talks about water pollution, which is a very important issue since water is a vital element for the life of the human being
