Water pollution - Causes
The causes of water pollution can be divided into two groups: anthropogenic sources of pollution are those due to human choices, and natural sources are those resulting from forces intrinsic to the environment.
Anthropogenic sources include:
- discharge of poorly-treated or untreated sewage;
- runoff from construction sites, farms, or paved and other impervious surfaces e.g. silt
- discharge of contaminated and/or heated water used for industrial processes
- acid rain caused by industrial discharge of sulfur dioxide (by burning high-sulfur fossil fuels)
- excess nutrients added by runoff containing large amounts of detergents or fertilizers
Natural sources include:
- seasonal turnover of lakes and embayments;
- siltation due to floods;
- eutrophication of lakes due to seasonal changes
- acid rain caused by natural volcanic discharges or smog from factories
- acid pollution of rivers and lakes by runoff from naturally acidic soils
- carbon dioxide discharges and runoff, volcanic or mineral

Sneak-Peek of Global Oneness Community
Hi friend! The Global Oneness Community, the place for information and sharing about Oneness is not really launched yet (you will see there is still some clean up to do) ...but it is now open for a sneak-peek! And if you wish - please register and become one of the very first members to do so! Jonas
