INTRODUCTIONWater Contamination has been becoming increasing concern for world and is known asWater-borne pathogen. In broader concept, it is the term which is focused on freshwatercontamination which comprises reservoirs, lakes, rivers and groundwater (Jung and et.al., 2014).There are common natural resources which are essentials of daily lives which are water, air andsoil. Bacteria are commonly present in soil and in accordance to this, water contains a thousandof bacteria per litre which reflects the level of contamination. Further, the bacteria in water arealso increasing due to increasing degrading waste from compost piles and water fills. Besidesthis, with increasing contamination, health risks are increasing to environment and to almost allliving beings. Thus, the essay will outline ways pollutants enter water which leads tocontamination and increasing health problems with consumption of purified water.MAIN BODYWater contamination has become a critical issue worldwide as it is leading to varioushealth and environmental problems. There are various ways which are leading to pollution.Contamination is a term which reflects impurity of water which is often unclean in nature. Waterborne pathogen impurity in water bodies such as lakes, rivers etc. is hampering water quality andis giving rise of diseases. Microbes are the bacteria which comprise species such as viruses,protozoa, archaea, protists and helminths. Further, there are types of pollutants which enter waterin different ways like physical which are the particles of soil are eroded from landscapes andmountains to flowing water. With the flow of water some particles of soil becomes sedimentswhereas some particles are absorbed and are permanently buried and becomes remains of water.Apparently, physical pollutants are also industrial waste like water which falls from hot surfacewhen enters water bodies generates heat which impact normal temperature of lakes and riverswhich is the major reason behind water contamination (Contamination of water resources bypathogenic bacteria, 2015). Pollutant enters water bodies through chemical like the freshwateralready contains chemical as it flows on the surface of soil which have substances and layer ofchemical. The most inorganic elements which impacts quality of water through chemical arecarbon, chlorine, potassium, magnesium, sulphur and specially plant nutrients like phosphorus,silicon etc. Further, it also includes effects of chemical compounds of human products, industrychemicals and pesticides. Human activities and use of different chemical by humans is the majorreason behind increasing water contamination (Rowny and Stewart, 2012). Moreover, this is1
