Water pollution can come from fertalizers, and pestacides used in agriculture, livestock farms, industrial waste, oil run off from roads, septic tanks, and unlined landfills. Oil on roads can be washed into the ground by rain. Landfills and leaking underground septic tanks are also major sources of groundwter pollution. Some ways to help prevent water pollution by not dumping waste and things into the water.

Water pollution can come from fertilizers and run off. It can also come from oil that is on the roads. Septic tanks and other things can be pollution sources. We can prevent pollution by not dumping waste and do not dump things into the water and other stuff.

Some causes to water pollution are when farmers fertilizer and things like that run off of the soil into the water. Another is livestock waste running into water supplies. Some ways to help reduce water pollution is to try to keep places clean and not let things run into water. There are a lot of things that we can do to prevent it.

the water from factories and things like the pipes that run to the ocean and that is not good. then there are things like the landfills that have things in the ground and then that leads to things like the rain run-off that kill the water and pollute it too.

Along w/ personal care products, household cleaning products, and pharmaceuticals. W/ the addition of sewage, air pollution, carbon dioxide, heat, & noise.

Fertilizers, pestacides, industrial waste, oil, unlined landfills, and livestock farms are causes of water pollution. We can do a lot of things to get rid of these problems. Find and make healthy fertilizers and pesticides. Find a safe way to get rid of waste, and take care of landfills.

Some causes are factories because they have big drains releasing chemicals into the waters which contaminates the rivers and whatnot. Acid Rain also affects our water and pollutes it and we usually get that from the factories too because of all the smokee they emit into the atmosphere. Many different things affect it, just in different ways.
