Impacts of water pollution.

CO2 Turning ocean water and other bodies of water into acid
Acid rain
bitter undrinkable water and killing plant and sea life

CO2 and other harmful gasses are emitted into the atmosphere, as it condensates and rains back into the ocean or other bodies of water, CO2 turns the water into acid. Water is a neutral substance. pH from 1-14 H2O is 7, however as the pH drops the ocean or other bodies of water becomes more acidic. Some bodies of water have been measured as low ~4pH that is bad. That is enough to kill marine life and plankton (what marine ecosystems depend on). as the ocean and other bodies of water again evaporate this acidic water into the atmosphere, condensates and rains down more CO2 then you have Acid rain, which begins killing plant life on land and some smaller animals because the ground water is no good anymore. Water pollution kills!

basic definition- Water pollution involves the release into lakes, streams, rivers, and oceans of substances that become dissolved or suspended in the water or deposited upon the bottom and accumulate to the extent that they interfere with the functioning of aquatic ecosystems. It may also include the release of energy in the form of radioactivity or heat

Water pollution could be fairly efficient. it may help save endangered animals by potential of destroying the habitat of an invasive species. additionally, it facilitates organic and organic warfare, by potential of poisoning an enemies water source. Water pollution facilitates create new species. risky chemical components could reason mutations in organisms which could make a contribution to effective transformations. additionally, chemical components in our eating water can strengthen our immune gadget. by potential of receiving small parts of a toxin we are in a position to construct up resistance and evolve the human race.
