What causes water pollution?
- Water pollution happens when harmful things contaminate our water.
- This can make the water dirty and unsafe for people, plants, and animals.
- Common causes of water pollution include waste from factories, chemicals from farms, and littering.
Examples:
- When factories dump trash into rivers, it can make the water polluted and unhealthy for fish to live in.
- If farmers use too many chemicals on crops, rain can wash those chemicals into nearby lakes, making the water dirty.
- When people throw plastic bottles into the ocean, it not only makes the water dirty but can also hurt sea creatures.
Fun Fact: It's super important to keep our water clean! We can help by not littering and using less plastic!
