Third Term Test N°1

Text

Water is essential to life. It must not be wasted. Yet water pollution is


one of the most serious environmental problems we face today. Water
pollution happens when toxic substances enter water bodies such as lakes,
rivers, oceans. These substances come mainly from waste. They get dissolved
in water or lie suspended there. Therefore, they degrade the quality of water.
Not only does this spell disaster for animals and species living there, the
pollutants also seep through and reach the groundwater, which might end up
in our houses as contaminated water we use in our daily activities, including
drinking. Water pollution can be caused in a number of ways, one of the most
polluting causes is city sewage and waste from factories.
