Water environment
The water environment encompasses natural water bodies like lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater. It provides essential habitats for diverse plants and animals, supports human activities such as drinking, agriculture, and industry, and helps regulate climate. Maintaining a healthy water environment involves preventing pollution, managing water resources sustainably, and protecting ecosystems from harm. Clean water is vital for life, and the overall quality of these water sources impacts biodiversity, public health, and economic stability. Ensuring the health of the water environment is crucial for both ecological balance and human well-being.
