Water pollution awareness focuses on understanding the causes, effects, and mitigation measures of water contamination. It aims to educate individuals, communities, and organizations about the importance of clean water and the need to protect water bodies from pollutants.
Water pollution occurs when harmful substances—such as chemicals, microorganisms, or waste materials—contaminate water bodies (rivers, lakes, oceans, groundwater). This contamination makes the water unsafe for drinking, recreational use, agriculture, and other purposes.
