Humans depend on very small reservoirs of water for all our needs; These reservoirs cycle/ turnover very quickly. As they cycle they can either collect pollution from other sources, or be cleaned by passing through functioning ecosystems
Water Pollution
Water can be polluted by chemical, physical or biological agents.

Type of Pollution
• Wastewater and water runoff
• Artificial Eutrophication
• Thermal Pollution
• Groundwater Pollution• Ocean Pollution (helped by the Oil Pollution
Act of 1990—all oil tankers traveling in US waters to have double hulls by 2015)

Pollutant Types and Sources
• Pathogens—sewage, animal feces• Organic Matter—nonpoint sources• Organic Chemicals—farms, lawns, wastewater,
leaking landfills resulting in artificial eutrophication
• Inorganic Chemicals—point and nonpoint sources, road surfaces, polluted participation
• Heavy Metals—mining processes, industrial discharge, landfills
• Physical agents—thermal pollution from industry, suspended solids from soil erosion.

Two Type of Water Pollution
• Point Source—discharge from a single source
• Non-point Source—discharge from many sources that are often difficult to identify.

Point Sources
• Single large source
• Can localize it to one spot– Industrial Plants
- Sewage pipes

Point Source - Example
• LUST - Leaky Underground Storage Tanks• 22% of the 1.2 million UST are LUSTy• Look at water pollution from gasoline...

Non-point Sources
• Diffuse source or many smaller point sources
• Automobiles• Fertilizer on fields

Acid Rain—another non-point source of pollution
• Reactions to convert to acid take place in ~2 days - travel 1000 miles
• Down wind - Acid rain• Dry Dep. vs Wet Dep.• Dry Deposition
– 50 % of total– Can react with plants -
strip nutrients– Tree dieback

Acid Rain and Buildings
Many buildings are made of concrete and or stone
These compounds act as bases and react with acid
The building technically “weathers” very fast, orNon technically “crumbles”

How does acid kill the fish?One way is mobilizing metals
• When all base cations are striped from soils
• Acid now reacts with metals e.g. aluminum – Normally aluminum is immobile– below pH 5 - mobile aluminum
• Fish breath in the water – Aluminum comes out of solution– Clogs gills - suffocate

When the pH drops below 6.0 species start to die off.When one species dies, others that depend on it may as well
