The dramatic impact that we have on our natural water sources as humans is often underrated and goes somewhat unrecognized. We are the primary perpetrators in polluting various water sources through our use of pesticides on surrounding vegetation. This leads to some very drastic consequences, such as the extinction of wildlife, especially in aquatic environments. The diversity within our bodies of water is consistently shrinking due to how various species cannot thrive in such contaminated waters.

Key Takeaways:

• When contaminated water flows through our water sources it harms the diversity of aquatic species.
• Human beings are the number one contributors to water pollution across the globe.
• Pollution from humans is primarily due to the pesticides we use when tending to our vegetation.

“Although there are processes such as water treatment or desalination that facilitate its treatment, use and consumption in areas with quality or supply problems, it is first necessary to avoid its contamination.”
