Water pollution has significant negative impacts on ecosystems. It can cause diseases, ruin ecosystems by destroying natural habitats, lead to excessive algae growth through eutrophication which depletes oxygen levels harming fish and other aquatic animals, and disrupt the food chain by eliminating species at the bottom. The document provides examples of various human activities like dumping of solid waste, discharge of heated water from power plants, and disposal of sewage that pollute water sources across regions like South Asia, Canada, the United States, and Africa harming the environment.
