3. Water Pollution
3.1. Sediment
3.1.1. Contaminents
3.1.1.1. salt. gravel, dirt, rocks, sand .etc
3.1.2. Effects
3.1.2.1. sediments can block up the water and not let sunlight pass to the plants.
3.1.2.2. sediments also prevent sunlight from being absorbed by the plants in the water.
3.1.3. Causes
3.1.3.1. sand from construction is dumped into water. (sand)
3.1.3.2. rocks erode. (sand)
3.1.3.3. salt from the ocean enters freshwater. (salt)
3.2. Nutrients
3.2.1. Contaminents
3.2.1.1. manure, runoff from sewage treatment plants, storm water runoff .etc
3.2.2. Effects
3.2.2.1. causes small aquatic plant life to grow at a very fast rate, which absorbs a lot of the sunlight leaving the other plants to die
3.2.2.2. takes up extreme amounts of oxygen in the water, this eventually makes the water un habitable for aquatic plant life
3.2.3. Causes
3.2.3.1. manure/fertilizer flows into water supplies
3.2.3.2. sewage treatment plants runoff flows into water supplies
3.2.3.3. rainfall causes various nutrients to flow into various water supplies
3.3. Pathogens
3.3.1. Contaminents
3.3.1.1. salmonella, germs, viruses, infections .etc
3.3.2. Effects
3.3.2.1. these pathogens multiply in water supplies and when consumed it can make the human or animal very sick, if its not treated correctly it can even cause death
3.3.3. Causes
3.3.3.1. dirty water is dumped into clean water
3.3.3.2. to much bacteria enters the water and no treatment such as chorine is added.
3.3.3.3. the perfect temperature makes the germs/bacteria rapidly multiply
3.4. Pesticides
3.4.1. Contaminents
3.4.1.1. garden pesticide, farm pesticides .etc
3.4.1.2. car/ plane fluids
3.4.2. Effects
3.4.2.1. kills many small species of plant life that other animals rely on such as algae and plankton.
3.4.3. Causes
3.4.3.1. pesticides from gardens and crops flow into water supplies, either by crop runoff or the rain washing it into water supplies
4. Water Treatment
4.1. 1. Entry
4.1.1. dirty water from households and other facilities are taken and transported to the sewers through pipes.
4.1.2. storm drains drain rain water into sewers
4.2. 2. Sewers
4.2.1. all the water meets up here and flows into a water treatment plant
4.3. 3. Grit Tank
4.3.1. water flows through a grid pattern of wires to remove any solid items such as leaves, sticks, bottles .etc
4.4. 4. Settling Tank
4.4.1. then the water flows into a settling tank, here everything heavier then water settles to the bottom of the tanks such as sand, gravel, dirt .etc
4.5. 5. Septic Tank
4.5.1. then the water that's not at the bottom of the tank drains into the oxygen tank, here oxygen is added to the water to increase certain bacterias population, eventually the bacteria will eat the germs/viruses
4.6. 6. Chlorine Tank
4.6.1. that water is then sent to a last tank were chlorine is added to the water to kill any of the leftover bacteria, germs, viruses, infections .etc
4.7. 7. Release
4.7.1. the clean water is released into bodes of waters such as lakes, ponds, and rivers and then eventually into households and other facilities.
5. Waste Water
5.1. Black Water
5.1.1. water from toilets
