Pollution prevention Causes of water pollution Any substance other than clean rainwater that enters an outside drain is a pollutant. Water pollution occurs when these substances leak or spill from their containers, or are poured or washed onto the ground, then enter an outside stormwater drain. The pollutants that enter outside drains do not get treated before they are discharged directly into our beaches, lake or streams. Every day in North Shore City pollutants enter our waterways. Whether large or small, at home or at work, this results in the pollution of our environment. Even a very small quantity of pollutant, or just one discharge, can drastically alter the quality of a stream. Fish, insects and plant life can be killed and habitats destroyed. A polluted stream may never fully recover.

Special Notice Water Pollution Water pollution is "any physical or chemical change in surface water or groundwater that can harm living organisms or make water unfit for certain uses" (Miller G17). There are two main sources of water pollution, categorized as point sources and nonpoint sources. Point source pollution comes from specific locations, such as through a pipe or a ditch. Producers of point sources include factories, sewage treatment plants, and oil tankers. Nonpoint source pollution, on the other hand, cannot be traced to a specific location. Nonpoint sources are more dangerous because they are difficult to contain and research. Examples of nonpoint sources include acid deposition and chemical runoff into the surface water. Pollution of surface and ground water is of particular concern in Indiana. The state is dependent on surface and ground water as a source of drinking water. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management assessed over 99% of Indiana's

fact sheet Fact Sheet: Water Pollution By Obviously.ca Staff. Posted on 6:35:00 pm - Thursday, October 11, 2007. What is it? Water is considered a renewable resource if portions circulates back and forth in the hydrologic cycle. Due to a growth in population and consumerism, water regulators and policy makers are being challenged to find ways to stretch available supplies further to sustain demand. What is water pollution? Pollution in water can be in one of two forms. It is possible that nature itself can produce these imbalances as the natural composition of some water makes it unfit for certain uses: e.g., water flowing in the highly saline terrain of the prairies or gushing from highly mineralized springs in some parts of the country cannot sustain fish populations. More likely, however, waterways are being polluted by municipal, agricultural and industrial wastes, including many toxic synthetic chemicals which cannot be broken down at all by natural processes. Pollution of surface and groundwater is reducing the supplies of readily available, clean water for personal and animal use. What can we do to protect our water?

Log in to myWWF Sign up Help About WWF ... Ask the Boss Water Pollution Sewage pipe spewing pollution from a factory directly into a river near Mumbai (Bombay). India. Water is essential to life. It need not be spelt out exactly how important it is. Yet water pollution is one of the most serious ecological threats we face today. The US Environmental Protection Agency and the Natural Resources Defence Council has more information about this. What is water pollution? Water pollution happens when toxic substances enter water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans and so on, getting dissolved in them, lying suspended in the water or depositing on the bed. This degrades the quality of water. Not only does this spell disaster for aquatic ecosystems, the pollutants also seep through and reach the groundwater, which might end up in our households as contaminated water we use in our daily activities, including drinking. Some important definitions and causes of water pollution can be found at this web site Sources and effects of water pollution Water pollution can be caused in a number of ways, one of the most polluting being city sewage and industrial waste discharge. Indirect sources of water pollution include contaminants that enter the water supply from soils or groundwater systems and from the atmosphere via rain.

Consent Order, Judgment and Decree lawsuit alleged that Farmers Cooperative Society illegally released manure which discharged into an unnamed tributary of Six Mile Creek on September 22, 2005, and March 31, 2006, causing water quality standards violations. Farmers Cooperative also failed to provide notice to the Dept. of Natural Resources of the September 22 manure release. Another manure release occurred on January 26, 2006, but the manure did not reach a stream. On February 3, 2006, Farmers Cooperative also applied manure within 200 feet of Mile Creek without injecting or incorporating the manure, the suit said. The Farmers Cooperative Society cattle-feeding facility has about 10,000 head housed in four confinement buildings, and about 2,000 head in open lots between the buildings. In 1998, Farmers Cooperative Society paid an administrative penalty of $2,000 and $1,398.32 in restitution for a fish kill that resulted from a release of manure from the facility and pollution of over 16 miles of Six Mile Creek.

See also: Water Pollution Environmental Issues Sustainability ... Recycling and Waste Although natural phenomena such as volcanoes, storms, earthquakes etc. also cause major changes in water quality and the ecological status of water, these are not deemed to be pollution. Water pollution has many causes and characteristics. Increases in nutrient loading may lead to eutrophication. Organic wastes such as sewage and farm waste impose high oxygen demands on the receiving water leading to oxygen depletion with potentially severe impacts on the whole eco-system. Industries discharge a variety of pollutants in their wastewater including heavy metals, organic toxins, oils, nutrients, and solids. Discharges can also have thermal effects, especially those from power stations, and these too reduce the available oxygen. Silt-bearing runoff from many activities including construction sites, forestry and farms can inhibit the penetration of sunlight through the water column restricting photosynthesis and causing blanketing of the lake or river bed which in turns damages the ecology..

Water data online Site search: DWE Home Home Water Management Water quality > Cold Water Pollution Water quality Cold Water Pollution Cold water pollution strategy for NSW It is easy to think of cold water as harmless, but in the fragile ecosystems of Australian rivers and wetlands the effects of cold water can be deadly for threatened species of native fish. In NSW, large volumes of unseasonably cold water flowing from major dams have suppressed the breeding and growth of native fish, killed juvenile fish, and affected other aquatic life sometimes for hundreds of kilometres downstream. At least 2,000 kilometres of the State's rivers are seriously affected by cold water pollution. The NSW Government is working with dam owners, community groups and environmental scientists to identify the areas most seriously affected, and to find methods to mitigate or prevent cold water pollution. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR), in partnership with other key agencies, is implementing a strategy to control cold water pollution from dams identified for priority action in NSW. What is cold water pollution?
