🌸The consequences and the causes of water pollution🌸

 The consequences and causes of water  pollution

Water pollution is a big problem to me and can cause a lot of damage. Water pollution is bad in many other ways but I think the main thing it does is kill our sealife like  fish, crabs, turtles and many more. 

What Water pollution is doing to our ocean

Water pollution is killing all of our sea life and food from the ocean. It is very important and not being able to swim or surf in the ocean is also a big problem. 

What water pollution does to humans

Swimming is an everyday thing for people. It's like when you go for a shower or swim in a pool or at the ocean. Imagine if you couldn't do any of that anymore because of water pollution? Did you know that over 75 million people swim in the ocean every day around the world and imagine 75 million people not being able to swim, but the main thing is

if the water is polluted how will we humans be able to survive without seafood.

But did you know that 6 billion tons/pounds of garbage but mainly plastic ends up in the ocean every year and about two million tons of human waste are exposed daily to water. Also freshwater on earth is only 2.5% of total water when 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water.

Ways to stop water pollution

If you want to stop water pollution then the best thing to do is not pour fat from cooking or any type of fat, oil or grease down the sink and trust me I've had experience and it wasn't very nice. 

In conclusion now you can see why water pollution causes problems and other consequences.

💮Why flooding causes destruction💮

  ~Why flooding causes destruction~   

Flooding is causing lots of destruction. Floods are ruining people's houses and some houses could even let go of the bottom of the ground and float away, which will take quite a bit of time and money to build again and especially when people can barely afford it.

But I think the serious thing is if water reaches up to houses and water gets through small creeks and floods your whole house with water which can also take lots of time to take out.

Flooding is causing quite a bit of trouble for farmers in Whangarei and Auckland most of the farms were flooded with lots of water, but the thing is that it could take up to a few months to get all of the water out.

But the main thing is that it is very hard to keep your animals alive when a flood is happening.

Some could die because they can't swim and others are caught in the water which makes it very hard for some farmers with stock and the reason why flooding is happening is because of global warming.

An interesting fact did you know that floods cause more than $40 billion in damage worldwide annually but in the U.S losses average to 8 billion dollars a year, and the death totals are up to 100 people a year.  But in China's Yellow River Valley some of the worst floods have killed millions of people.

If you were a farmer it would be best if you get all of your animals and bring them to a safe place where the water can't reach the animals and you.

Also would be very good to go to a high surface away from the water/floods so that floods can not reach you or your animals nor your house if you can move it away from any water places.

I think flooding is a serious problem and if flooding doesn't

stop or we can't find a solution we might be in serious trouble.
