Water is the most important liquid on earth. It is in the composition of every organism, and every organism uses it in its life. We all depend on water, but the trouble is - every year the reservoirs are becoming dirtier, subject to the negative effects of the environment. How can you protect the water you need for life from pollution?
Instructions
Step 1
Do not use environmentally harmful detergents. A lot of pollution comes into water bodies precisely from domestic wastewater. The artificial detergents we use cause a lot of harm to the environment, including water. Therefore, try to use only those products that have a label on the packaging - environmentally friendly.
Step 2
Going to nature (for a picnic, for barbecue, camping with tents, etc.), do not throw garbage into water bodies. This debris remains in the water, dissolves and becomes the next pollutant. Always take your trash with you and dispose of it at an approved location.
Step 3
Returning to nature outings - do not wash clothes in rivers or lakes with powder or other detergents. In open reservoirs, there is no system of treatment facilities, so all these chemicals remain in the water, harming the living organisms living in it and the people themselves who want to swim. Take care of the cleanliness of the reservoirs!
Step 4
Do not overuse clean water. Save water, turn it off when brushing your teeth, or when you no longer need it, fix leaking taps. Remember, the more clean water we have, the less dirty water we have.
Step 5
Try to use only environmentally friendly products in everyday life. This applies not only to its disposal - factories and plants producing such things provide a guarantee that no harm has been done to nature when creating environmentally friendly products. Be aware of the terrible water pollution from industrial facilities and try to maintain only those facilities that do not harm the environment.
Step 6
Elementary - save energy. It would seem that there is no relationship between water and light, but this is far from the case. By turning off your lights, computer or TV, you save energy from hydroelectric power plants, which are also a major source of water pollution.
