Contaminación del agua

Human activities, such as the use of fertilizers and industrial waste, significantly pollute water bodies like rivers, lakes, and seas. Fertilizers lead to algae growth, reducing oxygen levels and harming aquatic life. Industrial waste, exemplified by the 2010 toxic sludge spill in Hungary, causes severe environmental damage. Household drainage also contributes to pollution if untreated. Solutions include reducing fertilizer use, managing industrial waste, and treating household drainage to ensure cleaner water and a healthier ecosystem.
