Water pollution due to industrialization causes water to become rich in minerals. This condition will result to the increase in population of algae which is also known as ‘algal bloom’. This rapid increase in population of algae could deplete oxygen content and could affect marine life like fishes, aquatic plants such as algae and other aquatic species. Moreover, algae plays a role as an indicator to determine if a water ecosystem is healthy or not.
1. Which organisms in the water will be negatively affected by water pollution? Why?
2. Which water organism will benefit from water pollution due to industrialization? Why?
3. How would a large population of algae affect the water ecosystem?
Answers & Comments
Answer:
1. Fishes, Because of the unclean water causing different bacteria
2. Discharge of domestic and industrial effluent wastes, leakage from water tanks, marine dumping, radioactive waste and atmospheric deposition are major causes of water pollution. Heavy metals that disposed of and industrial waste can accumulate in lakes and river, proving harmful to humans and animals
3. Algal blooms can reduce the ability of fish and other aquatic life to find food and can cause entire populations to leave an area or even die. Harmful algal blooms cause thick, green muck that impacts clear water, recreation, businesses and property values.
