Any kind of pollution is harmful for us but water pollution is very harmful since our life depends on water. They say next worldwar will be faught for water.

Fresh water is getting scarce day by day. Water we use is getting polluted due to our own living styles, use of chemicals, cutting of trees and like reasons. Water pollution is harmful for all living thing and is taking its toll. Animals are getting extinct, our health and natural resistance level is going down and we are getting diffrent type of dieseses.

The whole ecology depends on water and the whole life will get disrupted due to water pollution. When large animals eat fishes and other aquatic animals they get the toxins present in their bodies and this harms us with passage of time. Some small animals have better resistance and can adopt to fast changes in level of pollution / toxins in water but it is not same with all and so once who are not able to change will be extinct first.

I'm not sure at what level you require this answer. However, the toxicity of pollution to a particular organism varied. There are many papers you can find on Google Scholar or other such sites (science direct, Blackwell synergy etc) which follow investigations into LC50 of particular pollutants in respect to their effects on different organisms. The LC50 is the concentration at which 50% of the organisms tested die within a certain time-frame.

Regulation of water pollutants tend to be done on an annual average. However, this would appear to be inefficient as LT50 (the time it takes for half the organisms to die at a set concentration) values are almost always less than a year. So if there is a large level of a pollutant released at one time it could be enough to knock out a whole ecosystem, but when it comes to averaging the level of that pollutant over the year it could seem quite low.

Hope this helps.

Effects of pollutants on Bioworld;
1. Enter the polluted water in to aquatic ecosystem like rivers ,
lakes , oceans having high organic & inorganic contents those
are toxic to aquatic animals & plants. they have depleted the
oxygen in the water body and cause the death of aquatic
animals and disturbing the food chain.

water pollution destroys the oceans, killing many of the animals in it or mutating them. These animals are essential to the environment because a food chain exists. If one animal becomes extinct, the food chain is disrupted creating the extinction of other animals who feed. If these animals become extinct, scientists cannot study their anatomy and find cures, etc

hope that answered ur question

that depends on the pollutant being discharged into the water, yet all pollution basically results in death of aquatic life, and usually also loss of freshwater

the animals are suffering from the unhealthy water in streams and rivers that they live by.
