Water pollution

Water pollution is any chemical, biological, or physical change in water quality that has a harmful effect on living organisms or makes water unsuitable for desired uses. Point source: specific location (drain pipes, ditches, sewer lines). Nonpoint source: cannot be traced to a single site of discharge (atmospheric deposition, agricultural / industrial / residential runoff)

Sources of pollution Agriculture - Fertilizers, animal wastes, etc. Municipal waste - Sewage, fertilizers, dumping into drainage ditches, etc. Industrial waste - Chemicals left over from manufacturing, waste products, etc.

Eutrophication Eutrophication: the natural nutrient enrichment of a shallow lake, estuary or slow moving stream, mostly from runoff of plant nutrients from the surrounding land. Cultural eutrophication: human activities accelerate the input of plant nutrients (mostly nitrate- and phosphate-containing effluents) to a lake.

Biochemical oxygen demand In a flowing stream, the breakdown of degradable wastes by bacteria depletes DO and creates an oxygen sag curve. This reduces or eliminates populations of organisms with high oxygen requirements.

Oxygen sag curve

Types of pollution Disease-causing agents – from sewage, such as fecal coliform (general group of bacteria from animal wastes), viruses, and parasitic worms. Oxygen-demanding wastes (BOD) – decomposing bacteria Water soluble inorganic wastes (acids, salts, lead, mercury) Inorganic plant nutrients (nitrates, phosphates)

Types of pollution Organic chemicals – oil, gasoline, pesticides Sediment – soil particles from runoff. This is the biggest water pollutant in terms of quantity. Radioactive isotopes – can be cancer-causing Thermal – heated water released from industry Invasive species (biotic pollution) – reduces biodiversity
