    Water pollution occurs when bodies of water become contaminated, usually due to human activities like trash, chemicals, bacteria, and parasites from sewage, garbage, and toxic waste. It can destroy biodiversity and cause eutrophication, corrupting aquatic ecosystems and food chains while increasing health risks like cholera and typhus. The main causes of water pollution are domestic sewage and garbage, with 80% caused by sewage and 6 billion pounds of garbage ending up in oceans each year.
