Help Kill Water Pollution
The Basics
Water Pollution is made from mostly run off water. When it rains, the rain picks up a lot of bacteria and toxins. This polluted run off goes straight to our water ecosystems; rivers and lakes. Another thing that causes water pollution is people straight up being ignorant and dumping toxins in directly. Water pollution hurts our environment and it needs to stop.
Effects, Prevention, and Diseases

Yes, puppies and children are dying think about the children. You can make a difference y enforcing the EPA clean water laws. The EPA is working very hard to make sure these rules are followed. Really the only way to solve the problem is to eliminate the top causes and to inform people on what is going on and what they can do. If we all work together, we can save countless lives. But, if people do not cooperate, there are consequences. You can get diseases like Polyomavirus Infection, Polio, and other things relating to diarrhea.
