- Here are some ways that we can stop water pollution:
- Stop letting industries and utilities build their factories on water because all of the chemicals and stuff that they don’t use are getting into the water that people have to drink and it is polluting the water.
- If you have plants that are native to your area, then you won’t have to use much fertilizer on them. If you use a lot of fertilizer, then when it rains, the fertilizer could run-off into a river and pollute it.
- Dog and cat waste can become a source of stormwater pollution that gets into rivers, lakes, and any other body of water around. You can help by picking up your pets waste and not letting it sit there and get into your rivers and lakes.
- The oil industry is one of the biggest parts of water pollution. Everything that they do can harm the water around the. the way to stop it is to stop drilling oil so much because it is killing the water.
- Sewage can take the oxygen out of the water and create dead zones. These dead zones can cause major damage to the ocean. The way to fix this is to stop using so much indoor plumbing because it is hurting the oceans.
