Steps to Control Water Pollution.

Control water pollution in your home by using non-toxic soaps, detergents and cleaning products.

Refrain from the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides on your lawn and gardens.

Always dispose of paints, motor oil, gasoline, antifreeze and other harmful chemicals in accordance with your local laws and safety regulations.

Improperly stored chemicals can slowly seep into the groundwater system, so keep them in tightly sealed containers, inside of structures with cement floors, to avoid groundwater contamination

Prevent polluted runoff and soil erosion. Polluted runoff is caused when rain washes toxic pollutants into surface waters from sources that include city streets, farms, or logging and mining sites.

Plant bushes and trees along roads and natural water sources. The roots of trees and bushes can slow the speed of runoff and erosion, protecting surface water
