Pollution
Point source pollution is pollution that comes from a single source, such as a factory or wastewater treatment plant. The Clean Water Act put restrictions on how much and what kind of pollutants industries can dispose of in rivers and lakes. This hasn't stopped industrial or domestic waste from entering our waters completely, it has reduced what once was our biggest source of water pollution.

Why is Pollution bad?
Pollution is bad because it kill's many people. A lot of the time trash, body fluids, alge, oli, and glass goes into the ocean, and from there it can travle to rivers which some people drink out of. When someone drinks that water with all that pollution they will get sick. A lot of deises come from all the water. In India you drink stright from the river. You go to the bathroom very close to the water, so when it rains it usally goes into the river. Hookworms come into the water so when you drinking you might have drink a paracite. The more trash you throw into the river the more maggots and many more paracites come. Now think for a minute, what if you were the one getting all these diseises. What if you were in there shoes? You would probably LOVE it if people didn't throw trash in the river that you have to drink. Now next time you throw your trash or something you wanna get rid of into the river, think about that if you were them.
