Pollution of fresh water sources


Nature

Chemicals in drinking-water (including nitrate, lead, arsenic, fluoride, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons) are a cause of concern. Increasing pollution from chemicals used in agriculture, especially nitrates and phosphates in surface water and groundwater, is also a significant problem.

Untreated or inadequately treated urban waste water is one of the chief forms of water pollution.
