WATER POLLUTION

FIRSTHAND CONTAMINATION

Rivers and Lagoons

millions of batteries are thrown in the rivers and Lagoons by night fishermen
1 small penlight battery contaminate 10.000 liters of water

raw sewage added to water flows like canals and rivers ,

trash dumped on rivers edges ,

Industry contaminates practically unchecked

Farmers using aggro chemicals (fertilizers ,herbicides & pesticides)then deforest and the rains washing the topsoils impregnated with contaminants into the rivers

Thousands of women that do the washing in rivers using harm full detergents.

Farmers dump acidic coffee husk into the waters which kills millions of fish ,

On the coasts

oil spills that contaminate coastal waters,

Oceans
industrial wastes that are dumped into deep oceanic trenches

SECONDARY POLLUTION

changes in water temperature enhances harm full algae,(remember the red tide)

And kills many fish who are critical to temperature ,when sea water enters lagoons here in Mexico many fish die ,due to sudden temperature changes.

also warm water releases carbon gases
cold water absorbs them

SOLUTIONS

Wetlands like swamps have always been Nature`s natural filters for natural water flows,aquatic plants clean the water ,the anchored plants as well as the floating ones.

We should reintroduce wetland flora with in natural water systems to help contra contamination.

Stop sewage systems that connect to natural water flows ,forbid and police the dumping of rubbish on waters edges ,

The best way is through the educational systems ,starting at kindergarten and rising in intensity with progression.

But in Mexico this is not accepted because this kind of education is not in the curriculum.

In short ;the ways to protect the waters is
laws and punishment ,government vigilance ,education ,

Alternative farming methods away from using chemicals ,which eventually end up in the ground water supplies

To merely clean pollution or try to clean is never effective because of uncaring communities ,it gets worse by the year ,an impossible task
we must attack at the roots and that is the contaminating mentality,

And in the cities people continue to mix organic wastes with their trash ,this is responsible for 70% of soil contamination which eventually leeches to subterranean water supplies

Spread the news and show by example is the biggest help.

Don't dump used car oil (it can be re-refined) that'll mess up the local water pretty bad.
