    Water pollution is defined as the introduction of harmful substances into water environments. It is characterized by excess physical, chemical, or biological substances that change water quality and harm living organisms. Natural water is colorless, odorless, and transparent, while polluted water may taste or smell bad, or look cloudy. Pollutants include microorganisms that cause disease, as well as chemicals from fertilizers, waste, metals, and pesticides. The presence of heavy metals or chemicals above acceptable levels can sicken and kill animals and humans. Prevention strategies include minimizing chemical fertilizer use, effective stormwater management, and treating waste before release into the environment.
