Effect of Water Pollution

Estimating suggest the nearly 1.5 billion people lack safe drinking water and that at least 5 million deaths per year can be caused to waterborne diseases. With over 70 % of the world covered by oceans, many people have dumped waste in these bodies of water. Raw sewage, garbage and oil spills is overwhelmed with pollution in the waters.Sometimes beaches are closed often because of high amounts of bacteria from sewage disposal and wildlife is beginning to suffer and die.

What water pollution looks like

How does it effect us!

Water Pollution affects people because the same water that is polluted by those factories, things from our house or people dumping things into the water is the same water that we drink and use.

Scientists have proven that you can get diseases from such drinking water. Kids sometimes swallow water from pools and lakes and if the water is polluted they can get very ill and die.

Three Sides To The Story

Not all people think water pollution is worth doing something about. Some people think that water pollution will go away on its own.

Some people think that water pollution is something to care about and want to do something to stop it.

Some people don’t know what to think. They think that what the first group is talking about is true but also the second group.

How much water do we use!!

What will happen and more of what it looks like

It will turn into people thinking that water pollution is fine. Then a lot of people will start to die and then they’ll start to care.
