Answer 2

The United States in their zeal to be the best in the world in making money never bothered about health and safety within their own country.In Washington Dc , still there are traces of chemical weapons stored and now leaking in the waterways after WWI.In Buffalo, the water is polluted by mining operations and steel mills that many people suffer from Cancer.Many people unfortunately are ignorant of business practises.In California, recently they found an oil company drilling oil from under a school , leading possibly to the discovery of cancer in the neighbourhood.Many countries don't allow that but then again, the USA is a vast country and hard to monitor!

Answer 3

~There never was a time at which water was not polluted to some extent. It's a matter of degree. From the time the first ashes from the first forest fire landed in a lake, volcanic ash fell into a river or a stegosaurus urinated in a creek, polution was extant.

The root of water polution is the introduction of impurities, natural, animal generated or man-made, into the water supply, the water table or the aquifer. US water systems, as those throughout the world and particularly in Europe, were poluted long before the advent of the industrial Revolution.

U MUST decsribe in your question the context of the answer you seek.

Answer 4

Waste from manufacturing steel will pollute the water. Waste from manufaturing many things that we made during the industial revolution polluted the water. We didn't have the environmental laws then to protect natural resources.
It's not too late. We have reclaimation plants and plants along Lake Erie that suck the water in and clean it to reintroduce the water back. It has helped. We also imported clams to get rid of the toxins in the Lakes.
The Root of the problem is Waste and no laws to regulate the waste.

Answer 5

The simple answer is the industrial revolution needed power ,damming rivers was a cheap easy way to get the power for the mills[water wheels]this silted the rivers and destroyed the ecology.We are slowly getting our rivers back but thay will never or nearly never be the same.
