Introduction
Water they say is life, and indeed they were right. With about 70% of the earth’s cover being
water, it undeniably becomes one of our greatest resources. As young students, we learned about
the various ways to conserve water; coming to think of it, water is used in almost every important
human chores and processes. It is an important element in both domestic as well as industrial
purposes. However a closer inspection of our water resources today, give us a rude shock. As
technology improves, scientists are able to detect more pollutants, and at smaller concentrations,
in Earth’s freshwater bodies. Containing traces of contaminants ranging from birth control pills
and sunscreen to pesticides and petroleum, our planet's lakes, rivers, streams, and groundwater
are often a chemical cocktail.Beyond synthetic pollution, freshwater is also the end point for
biological waste, in the form of human sewage, animal excrement, and rainwater runoff flavored
by nutrient-rich fertilizers from yards and farms.
