    Water pollution occurs when substances are added to water, gradually changing its properties and harming organisms that depend on it. Sources of pollution include human activities like discharging sewage and factory waste, as well as natural phenomena. Pollution can be biological from human and animal waste, chemical from industrial and sewage discharge, thermal from power plants raising water temperatures, or radiological from nuclear activities. Protecting water requires eliminating sewage discharge, developing water treatment, raising environmental awareness, and disinfecting drinking water sources.

    typhoid and hepatitis.

    2-Chemical pollution:
    Due to discharging of factories wastes and sewage in canals ,
    rivers , and seas
    Harms:
    Lead causes the death of brain cells
    Mercury causes blindness.
    Arsenic causes liver cancer.

    3-Thermal pollution:
    Rising the temperature of some marine zones which use water for
    cooling the nuclear reactors leads to due to separation of
    dissolved oxygen in water and
    destroys the marine organisms.

    4-Radiant pollution:
    Due to leakage of radioactive substances from the nuclear
    reactors or dumping of the atomic wastes in seas
