What is an Ecosystem?

An Ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with non-living components of their

environment interacting as a system. The ecosystem functions through several biochemical cycles and energy
transfer mechanisms. The impact of climate changes on ecosystems reduces their ability to improve water quality
and regulate water flows. Climate changes are important because they can overwhelm the capacity of ecosystems
and cause hazards such as wildfires, floods, and drought. They can also project warming, which could increase the
rate of species extinctions. This situation can simply be solved by restoring the ecosystem.

Water Quality
Water quality refers to the chemical, physical, biological, and radiological characteristics of water that determine
its suitability for various uses, such as drinking, recreation, and aquatic ecosystems. Maintaining high water
quality is vital for human health and the environment. Contaminants like pollutants, heavy metals, and pathogens
can jeopardize water quality, posing risks to public health and aquatic life. Regular monitoring, treatment, and
conservation efforts are crucial to ensure access to clean and safe drinking water and to preserve the health of our
rivers, lakes, and oceans. Water quality management is an ongoing challenge, especially in the face of climate
change and urbanization, making it essential to adopt sustainable practices to protect this precious resource.
