The Social Impact

- There have been many events that prove how dangerous water pollution is for humans and the environment. The Exxon Valdez oil spill was a major oil spill that took place on March 23, 1989 in Alaska.
- In developing countries water resource issues are extremely present. These issues consist of unsanitary facilities and drinking-water supply. More or less, 1 billion of the world’s population does not have a sufficient amount of water, and around 2 billion people do not have access to satisfactory sanitary services.
- In developing countries, water pollution is caused by human and animal waste, excessive usage of fertilizers, industrial chemicals, and slim enforcement of pollution prevention laws.
