About Water Pollution

• Water takes up two-thirds of the Earths
  surface. It is very important to keep it at clean
  at possible. There are many ways to pollute our
  water on our Earth. Sometimes we dont even no we
  are. Throwing man made objects in to the water is
  pollution. Bottles, plastic, cans, fishing line,
  ect. Also throwing things can be harmful to
  animals. They might think its food, or they might
  just get caught in to water ever you threw in.
  Pollution may affect the environment hundreds of
  miles away from the source.

Marine Dumping

• Marine dumping is something people have a
  habit doing. If you out on the boat and your
  eating a sandwich, when your done you have a
  plastic bag left over. Not knowing you might just
  throw it over board. That plastic bag takes 400
  years to degrade. Also, plastic bags are VERY
  harmful to TURTLES. TURTLES think the plastic
  bags are jellyfish, not knowing its a plastic
  bag the TURTLES eats it and it may cause
  suffocation which leads to death.

• Cardboard Takes 2 weeks to degrade.
• Newspaper Takes 6 weeks to degrade.
• Foam Takes 50 years to degrade.
• Styrofoam Takes 80 years to degrade.
• Aluminum Takes 200 years to degrade.
• Plastic packaging Takes 400 years to degrade.

Polluting Water By Liquids

• Never spill oil, or gas in to the ocean, lake,
  or river. Oil spills make up about 12 of the oil
  that enters the ocean. The rest come from
  shipping travel, drains and dumping. Oil spills
  will harm marine animals such as fish, birds and
  sea otters and TURTLES.

Nuclear Waste

• Nuclear waste is sometimes produced from
  industrial, medical and scientific processes that
  use radioactive material.
• Nuclear-fuel reprocessing plants in northern
  Europe and a big sources of man-made nuclear
  waste in the surrounding ocean.
• Refining uranium and thorium are also causes of
  marine nuclear waste.
• Waste is also produced in the nuclear fuel cycle.

Sewage and Waste Water

• Sewage disposal is a major problem in some
  countries as many people in these areas dont
  have sanitary conditions and clean water.
• Sewage is carried away from the home quickly and
  hygienically through sewage pipes.
• Sewage is treated in water treatment plants and
  the waste is often disposed into the sea.
• In developed countries, sewage often causes
  problems when people flush chemical and
  pharmaceutical substances down the toilet. When
  people are ill, sewage often carries harmful
  viruses and bacteria into the environment causing
  health problems to animals in the ocean.

Fertilizing Your Lawn

• You can make water polluted by fertilizing
  your grass. The fertilizer is not meant to
  designate quickly so when it rains, the excess
  fertilizer can run off in a storm drain. Then be
  transported to a water treatment plant. It is
  very hard to get all the chemicals out of the
  water.

Help Prevent Water Pollution

• There are many things you can do to help
  prevent water pollution. Here are some ideas.
• _______________________________________________
• Be careful about what you throw down your sink
  or toilet. Don't throw paints, oils or other
  forms of litter down the drain.
• Take great care not to overuse pesticides and
  fertilizers. This will prevent runoffs of the
  material 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.
