    The document discusses the environmental, health, and economic concerns of contaminating drinking water resources. Liquid effluents that are not properly treated can harm the environment, endanger human health and well-being, and reduce the economic value of resources. High levels of nutrients from liquid effluents can cause algal blooms that prevent aquatic life from finding food and shelter. Increased biochemical oxygen demand can lower dissolved oxygen levels. Oil spills can clog the breathing structures of organisms like mangroves. Consuming bacterially contaminated water can cause diseases like typhoid fever, cholera, and dysentery. Direct contact with pathogens in contaminated water can transmit skin diseases.
