Causes of water pollution
1) Water pollution may be caused by the intentional or unintentional disposal of hazardous chemicals and materials into a body of water.
2) Rainfall may cause polluted landscapes to disperse their poisonous materials into the water and poison the surrounding water.
3) Water pollution may also be caused by specific points or contributing factors such as large factories, oil refineries, construction sites, chemical waste management facilities, dump sites and other large scale operations that store/produce large amounts of chemical/hazardous waste.
