ABSTRACT
Water pollution is the state of contaminated water bodies caused by bacteria, chemicals, heavy metals, and nutrients. As a result, the water’s quality deteriorates and becomes unsuitable for its intended use. Water pollution is a severe environmental issue that has a catastrophic impact on human health, ecosystems, and global economies. In addition to natural causes, improper waste disposal, urban living, agricultural runoff, and industrial activities can all produce waste pollutants. In addition to short-term environmental damage, water pollution has long-term effects on living systems, variety, and sustainability within the population. Businesses that depend on clean water for their operations are having difficulties, and local communities are losing money from tourism, fishing, and falling agricultural production. This assessment is thorough and explains the intricate nature of water contamination, its impacts, and the need for action and strategy development to address this important problem. Legislative tools, technological advancements, campaigns for public education, and equitable access to water and sanitation are all included in holistic approaches. During the evaluation process, scholarly papers as well as research articles, reports, and policy documents were utilized. High-quality publications were sourced from databases like Sage Journals, literature.com, and businessinsider.com. Therefore, the importance of water pollution as a conduit for the world’s ecosystems, economy, and population as a whole cannot be understated. By preserving the quality of the water and investing their time in programs that improve it, the society can reduce the negative effects of pollution and preserve water resources for both current residents and future generations.
Keywords: Environmental Impact, Ecosystem Degradation, Biodiversity Loss, Mitigation Strategies, Human Health Risk and water pollution.
