Water pollution isn't just yucky to look at—it's also really bad for animals and plants that live in the water. Fish, turtles, and other creatures can get sick or even die if they have to live in polluted water. And the plants that grow in and around the water can't survive if the water is dirty either. This can mess up the whole ecosystem, which means all the living things in that area are affected.
But it's not just animals and plants that are hurt by water pollution—people can get sick too! If we drink water that's polluted, or even swim in it, we can get really sick. That's because the bad stuff in the water can make us feel yucky or even give us serious illnesses. Nobody wants that!
Water pollution mostly happens because of things people do. Factories and farms might let chemicals leak into the water, and sometimes people throw trash into rivers or lakes, which can make the water dirty. Even things we use every day, like soap or shampoo, can add chemicals to the water when we wash them down the drain.
But don't worry, there are things we can do to help stop water pollution! We can be careful about what we throw away, making sure to put trash in the right place instead of letting it end up in the water. We can also use fewer chemicals and try to keep them from getting into the water. And if we see trash in a river or lake, we can pick it up to help keep the water clean for everyone. Working together, we can make a big difference and keep our water safe and clean!
