Their activities had cause the river or sea become more deep. Besides that, it also may cause flood when rain like dogs and cats for many days. The goverment had provided the dustbin so that keep our country clean. But, nobody follow the rules.
Besides that, water pollution also cause by activities of factory which near to the river. The workers spoiled their toxic waste which containing poison into the river. If the aquatic animals had swallowed or absorbed the toxic into the body, it may cause death or harm. Human also will die after they eat the animal.
Futhermore, for example, oceans are polluted by oil on a daily basis from oil spills, routine shipping, run-offs and dumping. Oil cannot dissolve in the water and forms a thick sludge in the water. This suffocates fish, gets caught in the feathers of marine birds stopping them from flying and blocks light from photocynthetic.
So. how to solve this problem? The government must give the punishment to the person or factory who polluted the water. We have to prevent this water pollution occured with be careful about what you throw down into your sink or toilet. Don't throw paints, oils or other forms of litter down into the drain.
