Water body
means both natural and man-made bodies of
fresh, brackish, and saline waters, and includes,
but is not limited to, aquifers, groundwater,
springs, creeks, streams, rivers, ponds, lagoons,
water reservoirs, lakes, bays, estuarine, coastal
and marine waters.

Data on water
pollution in the
Philippines
The Philippines is a developing country
that is also undergoing rapid
urbanization and industrialization. Out
of more than one hundred million
Filipinos, nine million rely on unsafe
water supplies. In fact, water pollution
in the Philippines and a lack of proper
sewage kills 55 people every day.
 WATER POLLUTION
Pollution is due to the
influence or activities of

may be natural.

There are many specific causes

of water pollution, but before
we list the toppers, it's
important to understand two
broad categories of water
pollution:
“Point source” — occurs when harmful substances
are emitted directly into a body of water.

“Nonpoint source” — delivers pollutants indirectly

through transport or environmental change.
POINT SOURCE NON-POINT SOURCE
any identifiable source of pollution with specific point of any source of pollution not identifiable as a point source to
discharge into a particular water body include, but not be limited to, runoff from irrigation or
rainwater, which picks up pollutants from farms and urban

landfills Livestock wastes Leaky
sewer lines Chemicals used at

Water Turbidity is often a contaminant or

Contamination impurity of waters. Turbidity is the term

given to anything that is suspended in a
water supply. It is found in most surface
waters, but usually doesn't exist in
Water contamination is often used ground waters except in shallow wells and
to refer to impurities in water springs after heavy rains.
regardless of the source or events
that led to the impurities being in
the water. A common impurity or
contamination in water is its TDS
count. Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
consist mainly of carbonates,
dissolved bicarbonates, chlorides,
sulfates, phosphates, nitrates,
calcium, magnesium, sodium,
potassium, iron, manganese, and a
few others.

GROUNDWATER
POLLUTION
Groundwater pollution (also called groundwater
contamination)
occurs when pollutants are released to the ground and
make their way down into groundwater. This type of water
pollution can also occur naturally due to the presence of a
minor and unwanted constituent, contaminant or impurity
in the groundwater, in which case it is more likely referred
to as contamination rather than pollution.
