Water pollution can affect every of an environments ecosystem. Polluted water can kill fish or other aquatic life which will disrupt the food chain, which can in turn affect the survival of others who depend on that source for food.

Also, there are some rivers that are so polluted, that it is even dangerous to use that water to irrigate plants. Plants absorb harmfulchemicals through the roots, and therfore, the produce affects humans pr animals that consume the tainted products.

The other thing is that it can affect driking water. It is imporatnt to dispose of substances properly, such as heavy metals, so that drinking water will not cause life threatening illnesses.
