living things Pollutions in water are not simply a matter of “poisons” killing large numbers of fish overnight Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed for many months or years because the first organisms to be affected are either plants or plankton But these organisms are the
food of fish and birds and other creatures When this food disappears, the fish and birds die in
this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are
seen at the river’s edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening Where do
the substances which pollute the water come from? There are two main sources – sewage and industrial waste As more detergent is used in the home, so more of it is finally put into our

waste is even more harmful since there are many high poisonous things in it, such as copper
and lead So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple, sewage and industrial

some rivers and lakes, but others can still be saved if the correct action is taken at once
