Sources and effects of water pollution...

4. Oil spills – An oil spill is an accidental


discharge of petroleum products in oceans
and estuaries from capsized oil tankers,
offshore drilling and exploration operations.
It can cause drastic damage to the marine
and coastal bio diversity.
5. Domestic Sewage – It is rich in organic
matter and detergents. Decomposition of
organic matter increases the nutrient
content of the water bodies.
6. Availability of excess nutrients results in
algal bloom on the surface of water
resulting in the deficiency of oxygen content
(BOD – Biological Oxygen Demand). This in
turn leads to the death of aquatic
organisms. This process is known as
Eutrophication.
