Water Smart: Water as a Natural Resource - Pollution

Water pollution is a significant issue that is not always visible. Clear water can still be polluted with chemicals or be too warm for aquatic life. Pollution sources include oil spills, factory emissions, and acid rain. Point source pollution comes from specific locations, while non-point source pollution is widespread, caused by everyday activities like car oil leaks and improper disposal of chemicals. Understanding these sources helps in addressing the pollution problem.
