Water pollution is when harmful substances contaminate rivers, lakes, oceans, or groundwater.

Household chemicals like bleach, paint, motor oil, pesticides, batteries, solvents, drain cleaners, and medicines can harm the environment if not disposed of properly.

Other causes include industrial waste, agricultural runoff (fertilizers and pesticides), untreated sewage, oil spills, plastic litter, and urban stormwater runoff.
