In addition, H20 also serves sanitation and recreational purposes for human beings. Furthermore, water irrigates crops, is harnessed for power, is necessary for the production of food, for
fisheries, and industry (Water Pollution, 2003). Simply defined, water pollution is "the loss of any of the actual or potential beneficial uses of water caused by any change in
its composition due to human activity" (Water Pollution, 2003). When water is deemed unusable for any of these purposes, it is classified as being polluted (Water Pollution, 2003).
Water pollution affects every city in the United States and throughout the world. It is responsible for illness, death, and genetic alterations in humans, animals, and marine life; and
environmental degradation that can permanently damage flora and fauna as well as irreparably taint oceans, rivers, lakes, and streams. In the twenty-first century, water pollution is a major issue
of global proportions, and for this reason, a mitigation plan that minimizes pollution and promotes greater sustainability is of the utmost importance. Detailed Description of the Problem Water pollution
"affects biodiversity at all levels" (Johnson & Klemens, 2005, p. 35). It is a problem created by humans largely due to industrialization and modern technology. The most basic
water pollutants or contaminants include "oxygen using wastes, radioactive material, sediments, and inorganic chemicals" (Buchanan & Horwitz, 1998). Oxygen concentration in oceans support life, but this oxygen tends to
break down the wastes that also exist in these waters (Buchanan & Horwitz, 1998). This also lowers the oxygen levels that the ocean needs for life sustenance. Other
water pollutants include oil spills, synthetic organic compounds such as pesticides or insecticides, and toxic metals such as mercury (Buchanan & Horwitz, 1998). Widespread dispersal of pollutants can occur
