Water pollution

The environment is the


surroundings in which we live. But
the contamination of our
environment by pollutants is
environmental pollution. The current
state of the Earth is the result of
centuries of exploitation of earth and
its resources.
Water gets contaminated easily with any
pollutant whether it is human waste or
chemical discharge from factories. Also,
we use this water for irrigation of crops
and drinking. But, because of infection
they become contaminated too. Besides, an
animal dies because of drinking this water.
A lot of areas of the Black Sea cause concern. Environmental
problems in the Black Sea are terrible. The Sea's surface waters
receive river discharges which are heavily loaded with nutrients
containing nitrogen and phosphorus and contaminated with
industrial wastes. In addition, coastal industries appear to
discharge wastes directly into the sea with little or no recycling.

Pollution and irresponsible fishing resulted in an overall


decline of biological resources, the diversity of species and
landscapes, and the recreational values of the Black Sea, thereby
bringing its ecosystems to the edge of collapse.
Researchers of the Black Sea
have identified a crisis state of the
ecological situation: the chemical
composition of water shows
significant pollution, and biological
diversity is declining. The marine
ecosystem is under significant
pressure, which leads to the loss of
the possibility of self-purification.
In the process of active development of the
Black Sea region, neither in large cities nor in
small settlements, engineering networks in
terms of sewerage were developed without a
mandatory requirement for the presence of
effective treatment facilities. In place of
expensive systems, the so-called deep-sea
drain is widely used, when a sewer pipe is led
several hundred meters from the coast to a
depth and all effluents flow directly into the
Black Sea without undergoing treatment.
How to improve the situation:

Monitor and assess pollution, control pollution from land-based


sources,

Ensure the conservation of biological diversity,

Address environmental safety aspects of shipping,

Address environmental aspects of management of fisheries and other


marine living resources and

Promote integrated coastal zone management and maritime policy.


Water is necessary for life. All organisms contain it, Pollution makes streams, lakes, and coastal waters
some of them drink it and others live in it. Plants and unpleasant to swim in or to have a rest. Fish and shellfish
animals require water that is moderately pure, and harvested from polluted waters may be unsafe to eat.
People who use polluted water can become ill, if they
they cannot survive, if water contains toxic chemicals or drink polluted water for a long time, it may develop
harmful microorganisms. Water pollution kills large cancer or hurt their future children. Nature is not simply a
