READING2. Mi and Nick have decided to give a presentation on water pollution to the class. Read what they have prepared and answer the questions. Water pollution is the contamination of bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater (the water beneath the Earth’s surface). It is one of the most serious types of pollution. Water pollution can have many different causes. Factories dump industrial waste into lakes and rivers. Sewage from households is another cause. Farms using pesticides to kill insects and herbicides to kill weeds can also lead to water pollution. These factors cause ‘point source’ pollution while pollutants from storm water and the atmosphere result in ‘non-point source’ pollution. Water pollution can have dramatic effects. In many poor nations, there are frequent outbreaks of cholera and other diseases because of people drinking untreated water. Humans can even die if they drink contaminated water. Polluted water also causes the death of aquatic animals such as fishes, crabs, or birds. Other animals eat these dead animals and may also get sick. In addition, herbicides in water can kill aquatic plants and cause further damage to the environment. So what should we do to reduce water pollution?* Answer the questions: 1. What does the second paragraph tell you about?2. What does the third paragraph tell you about?3. What is groundwater?4. What are point source pollutants?5. What are non-point source pollutants?6. Why do people use herbicides? The second paragrah tells us about the causes of water pollution.The third paragraph tells about the effects of water pollution. It’s the water beneath the earth’s surface. They are industrial waste, sewage, pesticides and herbicides. They are pollutants from storm water and the atmostphere.They use herbicides to kill weeds.3.
