Finishes such as flame retardants, adding softeners for a luxurious handfeel, dyeing, printing, add value to the textile. Unfortunately vast amounts of chemicals and water are used during the various processes. The contaminated water is then released into ground, rivers and seas. Water is just one of the natural resources that are heavily polluted by the textile industry but it affects the ecosystem in a negative way. High water consumption Water is quickly becoming a scarce resource in certain countries.
Within heavily populated cities, such as those in China, even the smallest of activities could lead to hugely negative effects for the local water bodies. Even with relatively low ecological footprints per capita, the shear volume of citizens could offset that and result in poor environmental outlooks. This is because a large population calls for increases to industry and agriculture, which contribute to water pollution individually (Shao et al., 2006). Industrialization introduces so many chemicals into the waters, and the fertilizer and pesticides used in industrial farming also greatly pollutes water. Such activities have created a reality where toxicants are now mainly absorbed directly from food because of the heavy contamination of water sources, such as lakes and fresh water bodies.
Pollution is an issue of concern in the modern world that we live in today. There are many types of pollution, namely air, water and noise. Pollution in our environment will undoubtedly affect our quality of life. Our beautiful world becoming ugly because it is suffering from the effects of environmental pollution. Moreover, river pollution has become one of serious issues in last few years.
The sewage water would mix with the pipelines and thus, it would pollute the water of the agriculture and the drinking water. Moreover, the pollution of water would lead to the poor health of the people. The people would suffer from toxicity and the water pollution would lead to the increase of the mortality rate in children. The water pollution is a very threatening problem and thus ,the society ahs to start to act accordingly to address this problem. (AUC, 2011) The Nile river is one of the most important and crucial sources of life in Egypt.
Water Pollution is one of the major concerns that is currently increasing, not only in the Philippines, but also across the world. Industrialization, Urbanization and Damming of rivers are one of the reasons behind the contamination of water (Villahermosa, R.A., 2012). These ill activities of humans can greatly affect the water especially its chemical and biological composition which can easily be observed with its cloudiness or its turbidity. It can also cause the pH of the water to increase resulting into acids, alkaline or neutral color that are found in the water. (Moloi, 2013).
Water pollution is defined as when many toxic chemicals are added into the water the water is polluted. A small drop of harmful chemical in a house pump or cannel can polluted the water in heavy amount. This can be much harmful for human. While a large amount, a chemical in a river can pollute low water. “Any change or modification in the physical, chemical and biological properties of water that will have a detrimental consequence on living things is water pollution.” Water pollution affects the drinking water, lakes, rivers and all over the world.
In this article, I would likes to discuss about the water pollution and the impact of water pollution to the environmental in Malaysia. As we know, water pollution is the changes of water quality in physical or chemical or biological properties and the contamination of water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ocean, aquifers and groundwater with any unwanted foreign substances, which would contribute a health hazard or otherwise that will decrease the utility of water. This water pollution can affect a large mass of water such as streams, ponds, lakes and ocean to our water quality. Look into our ecosystem in Malaysia, mostly streams are fully with toxicity of chemical from any point of sources and this contaminants is flowing continuously into the sea. So, is there a huge impact on water pollution in

In addition, reckless individuals are too selfish to spend their time to properly dispose of their waste material. Enough research has been done to prove that sewage contains many kinds of hazardous chemicals, from pharmaceuticals to papers and plastics which are harmful to the environment, wildlife, and humans. What’s more, the sewage carries viruses into water systems such as cholera and typhoid that leads to sickness towards any living creature. Due to the excessive amount of waste that the environment cannot deal with, it acts as the food source for algae, which develops wildly. Not only, algae will take the oxygen out of the water and increase carbon dioxide in which the marine life cannot survive, but also it creates the outlets of a toxin to enter the food chain and harm individuals who consume
Dams are built to slow and/or stop water flow, which seems great in flooded uncontrolled rivers, however, “organic materials from within and outside the river that would normally wash downstream get built up behind dams and start to consume a large amount of oxygen as they decompose,” the problem with this is it creates uninhabitable areas downstream, (“The Downside of Dams: Is the Environmental Price of Hydroelectric Power Too High?”). By creating “dead zones”, areas where marine life is unable to survive in the rivers, ecosystems are getting destroyed. By destroying ecosystems, the natural flow of life is disturbed and nature is unable to refix itself at the rate we are destroying it. Dams are created as a source of energy, however sabotaging clean water is not worth the risk because we need water to
