Pollution of water basins occurs with the dumping of contaminating substances and the deposition of tailings in water bodies. This type of pollution occurs mainly by dumping garbage and spilling chemical substances in rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, springs, among others.
This type of pollution is highly destructive, not only because of the deterioration of water that is an essential substance for living beings, but also because it promotes the death of aquatic life beings, thus decreasing the biodiversity of our planet.
