If you want to help keep our waters clean, there are many things you can do
to help. You can prevent water pollution of nearby rivers and lakes as well
as groundwater and drinking water by following some simple guidelines in
your everyday life.
•Conserve water by turning off the tap when running water is not
necessary. This helps prevent water shortages and reduces the amount of
contaminated water that needs treatment.
•Be careful about what you throw down your sink or toilet. Don’t throw
paints, oils or other forms of litter down the drain.
•Take great care not to overuse pesticides and fertilisers. This will prevent
runoffs of the material into nearby water sources.
•By having more plants in your garden you are preventing fertiliser,
pesticides and contaminated water from running off into nearby water
sources.
•Don’t throw litter into rivers, lakes or oceans. Help clean up any litter you
see on beaches or in rivers and lakes, make sure it is safe to collect the litter
and put it in a nearby dustbin.
La contaminación del agua afecta a las plantas y los organismos que viven
en estos cuerpos de agua, y, en casi todos los casos el efecto perjudicial no
sólo para las distintas especies y poblaciones, sino también a las
comunidades biológicas naturales.
