97% of the water on the Earth is salt water and only 3% is fresh water which the majority of human uses require; slightly over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps. The remaining unfrozen fresh water is found mainly as groundwater‚ with only a small fraction present above ground or in the air. However‚ water is now being heavily polluted by nobody else but human. So what are the causes and effects of water pollution? The causes of water pollution vary. However‚ we can sum
