• This form of pollution occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged

• This form of pollution occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds.

Common Water Pollutants • Oil • Suspended Matter ( Like garbage) • Chemicals (

Common Water Pollutants • Oil • Suspended Matter ( Like garbage) • Chemicals ( Like bleach, washing detergents, etc) • Microbes

Pollution Indicators • The level of pollution in water can be indicated by the

Pollution Indicators • The level of pollution in water can be indicated by the species living there. This is known as an indicator species.

Eutrophication • When fertilizers are added to farmland in large quantities, plants and animals

Eutrophication • When fertilizers are added to farmland in large quantities, plants and animals in nearby rivers and lakes can sometimes be killed.

• This is because of a nutrient overload. • Fertilzers are washed into

• This is because of a nutrient overload. • Fertilzers are washed into rivers causing an overgrowth of algae (algal bloom).

• Algal bloom prevents sunlight from reaching plants. • This causes plants to

• Algal bloom prevents sunlight from reaching plants. • This causes plants to die. • When plants die, there is a reduction in the oxygen supply for organisms.

• Dead organisms are broken down by decomposers; which further reduces the oxygen

• Dead organisms are broken down by decomposers; which further reduces the oxygen level in the water. • This eventually cause total death of the ecosystem.
