Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans and groundwater). Water pollution affects plants and organisms living in these bodies of water; and‚ in almost all cases the effect is damaging not only to individual species and populations‚ but also to the natural biological communities. Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Contents [hide] • 1 Introduction

“WATER IS A GOOD SOLVENT” Water is very unique in all facets of its nature. The chemical formula for water is H2O as a water molecule consists of two atoms of the chemical element hydrogen (H) and one atom of the element oxygen (O). Water is the most abundant chemical compound on earth as its mass all exists together‚ naturally‚ in its gaseous‚ liquid and solid state. It is the most precious natural resource to man and is essential to life for all discovered living organisms. One of the unusual
