Contamination of water.

Contamination of Water.

Do you think contamination of water is bad for you? Yes, contamination of water is bad.

Here are some facts to tell you about it. Contaminated water is bad for you because it has lots of bacteria and germs. It is also of polluted water. When acid rain comes down the litter flows into the drain and goes through the waterways this goes into our taps. So that means when we drink our water out of our taps it is dirty water too. Another bad thing about it, it can make you sick and it is not healthy for you or your body.

One of the effects with contaminated water , it can cause diseases, a breakdown on the food chain and also extinction. The many causes of how water are contaminated are the use of pesticides, cattle waste and litter thrown in the drain and this results to killing marine mammals like the whales. The farmers factories are responsible for the waste because thats where all the waste comes from. Pesticides used for fruits and vegetables go back to our waterways, it destroys life in the water. So the farmers need to come up with a solution. Avoid the use of the solution to spray like the insecticides, when it rains the spray are washed off and kills the germs, these go to our waterways.

When the litter is on the ground it goes to the streams and rivers which cause pollution and it contaminates water.

I think that we need to stop having contaminated water and to do that is to stop leaving litter on the ground and dumping them elsewhere because when it rains the litter goes through the drains. 
We need to put our litter in the right bins.
