Effects of Water Pollution in Town X

what can we do to prevent water pollution

By having more plants in your garden you are preventing fertiliser, pesticides and contaminated water from running off into nearby water sources.

Don’t throw litter into rivers, lakes or oceans. Help clean up any litter you see on beaches or in rivers and lakes, make sure it is safe to collect the litter and put it in a nearby dustbin.

Conserve water by turning off the tap when running water is not necessary. This helps to prevent water shortages and reduces the amount of contaminated water that needs treatment.

Take great care not to over-use pesticides and fertilisers. This will prevent runoffs of the material into nearby water sources.

Be careful about what you throw down your sink or toilet. Don’t throw paints, oils or other forms of litter down the drain.

Use environmentally household products, such as washing powder, household cleaning agents and toiletries.
