Water Quality Degradation

Water quality degradation refers to the decline in the purity and safety of water sources, making them unsuitable for drinking, recreation, or wildlife. This degradation can occur due to pollution from industrial waste, agricultural runoff, sewage discharge, and other contaminants. As pollutants enter water bodies, they can harm aquatic ecosystems and pose health risks to humans. Clean water is essential for life, and maintaining its quality is crucial for public health, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity. Efforts to prevent water quality degradation include regulations, pollution control, and community awareness.
