Water pollution

Water pollution is a general term for the phenomenon in which the quality of water in natural or public water bodies, whether surface or groundwater, changes physically, chemically, or biologically as a result of wastewater discharged from human life, agriculture, mining, industry, or any other production activity, and the runoff of watershed geology and soil-containing materials. However, in general, the problem is more often the narrow definition of water pollution, which reduces the value of water resources and the water environment for humans and living organisms.
