Why is it harmful to humans?

What is the one thing humans care the most about? Themselves. People are selfish so maybe it will be helpful to break down all the ways in which water pollution will harm them.

Water pollution can cause dangerous bacteria to get into our water and lead to diarrhea, vomiting, migraines and to a larger extent, death. This is because it is much easier to put harmful things in our water than to git rid of them.

The particles can also reduce the quality of our drinking water which is neither desirable nor safe.

The economy is also at harm because it is VERY expensive to treat drinking water once contaminated. Now I don't know about you, but a high cost for drinking water is not another burden I need to add on to my bills.

These are just some of the ways in which water pollution can affect humans. In later topics I will discuss how it is harmful to aquatic life.
