Ways to Help Overcome Water Pollution Water remains one of our primary resources, vital to our survival on Earth, yet water pollution is happenning. How can we avoid and possibly stop it? Ignorance is the main factor. Knowledge on ways of preventing water pollution and its effects on human health should be spread more widely. Tighter laws should be legislated and existing laws ammended to curb illegal dumping of trash and poisonous chemical wastes into water sources. Waste materials must be disposed off properly. Daily household rubbish can be buried or thrown away neatly in plastic bags, to be sent to special rubbish collecting areas. Faeces have to be sent to treatment tanks. Industrial wastes should be treated before disposal, to make sure the substances are harmless. Stuff like glass, paper, plastic and metal can be recycled. Excess use of insecticides and chemical fertilizers should be avoided as far as possible. This page hosted by Get your own Free Home Page
