Water is one of the most important substances on earth. Water is the source of life
that plays an important role for the survival of living of all creatures. More than
two third part of the earth surface is covered by water and the rest of it are land
area. Only 3 % of the total water on earth can be consumed by human and 97% of
it is salt water that cannot be consumed by human. However, the of water for
organism is very complex, especialy for human. Human needs water to do many
kinds of activities and the need of water will increase everyday. . The needs of
water are as follows:
Function of water includes
1. Animal : water is used to metabolisme like regulation the temperature
body, osmose pressure of blood, aiding the digestive process, transport
nutrients to all body.
2. Plants : water is used to transport nutrients result of photosynthesis,
solvent for nutrient from soil to enter into plant, for the process of
respiration and
3. Human : In house water is used for cooking, drinking, taking a bath,
washing clothes, washing cooks tool or dinnerware. In agriculture water is
used for irrigation. In industry for the power plant and many product
manufacture.
Water is also essential for human body because the human body consist 70 % of
it. It includes for body temperature regulation, assist the process of metabolism,
prevention becoming dehydrated, transport of nutrients, removal waste and reduce
stress anxiety, and depression.
Technological development grow rapidly produced many products to help
human activity becoming easier. Sometimes the process of the product or after the
use of the product results waste that make pollution in environmental especially
for water. It is called water pollution if one or more substances have been built up
in water to such an extent that they cause problems for animals or people. The
water pollution makes the quality of water descreass. The quality of water
decrease can not be used for human. Why ? this is the effect of polluted water :

1. Distruption ecological
the entrance of pollutants like mercury into waterways can have a wide range
of impacts. Those can make ecological risk. For example if the water is
polluted it will increase in alga blooms that can make the fish death when
excessive algae get caught in their gills. If the fish is killed so population of
bird also decreases. Therefore ecosystem and food chain are distrupted.
2. Making diseases
Water pollution causes someone gets diseases like cholera, dysentery,
diarrhoea, tuberculosis. It is danger and dying disease.
The effects of water pollution are not always immediate and not always seen at
the point of contamination. However the water pollution has a huge impact on the
lives of all people. Therefore the water is imported to life so to reduce the water
pollution is required pollution prevention, such as
