Here are some ways that you can do to prevent water pollution:
Plant trees or any plants near bodies of water so that when it rains, the topsoil with personal chemicals will not get washed away. Big trees will help prevent soil erosion. When the soil is eroded, the pesticides and chemicals on the land will be washed away and carried on the sea. But if there are big trees to stop the eroding of the soil, the oceans will be protected.
In maintaining your lawn, do not use pesticides or any fertilizers. You can prevent highway runoff by simply avoiding pesticides.
If you wish to use cleaning liquids, be sure that these are environmentally safe.
It is not also advised to put oil or any type of chemicals in the toilet or sink since this may end up in the groundwater.
Be responsible for the amount of water that you use every day. If you just watch how much water you use, you will be surprised that you can save a huge amount of money on your bill. For example, when you brush your teeth, use a cup instead of allowing it to flow endlessly.
When cooking your food, do not throw excess fat or oil down in the drain. Drain your dirty dishes in the container and discard it as a solid waste once it is full and it dries.
Do not make your toilet as your wastebasket. Do not flush unnecessary things in the toilet because this will only clog up your drains. It is unsustainable, and it will only lead to massive pollution in the end.
Switch to the use of a water-efficient toilet in your home. If you think this is costly, you can use a brick or a ½ gallon container to reduce the amount of water released in each flush and be able to reduce the space. With this, you can save water which is being unnecessarily flushed down the toilet.
If you are a farmer, allow your animals to graze only when it is a well-vegetated pasture to prevent soil erosion. If you have a garden at home, avoid the use of pesticides to make your plants grow.
Always keep your vehicles in good condition to avoid oil spills in the water.
Avoid using plastics if possible especially when dining. Say no to straws, plastic cups, and plastic utensils when you dine and get out in the beach.
Do your part by picking up some litter that you see in the environment. Pick up those candy wrapper, plastic, and others. With this, you can also lead as a good example and encourage others to also do their part.
Some people flush down the unused pharmaceutical drugs down the drains until it accumulates into massive amounts. You can prevent this incident from happening by dropping off the unused medicines at a drug drop-off which is usually organized by the government and other organizations.
