Water covers up more of the Earth than the land that people occupy, and it is a source that people rely on to live. If so, it should be expected that people will take good care of water. If it should be like that, then why is it that water pollution is one of the largest problems in society today? The ever growing human development and the high demands people put on the world result in the buildings of factories which results in increased severity of water pollution. “In some areas, depletion and pollution of economically important water resources have gone beyond the point of no return, and coping with a future without reliable water resources systems is now a real prospect in parts of the world”, (secretariat of the convention on biological diversity, 2010).

According to the (government of Canada, 2013), over 150 billion of untreated water otherwise known as sewage is dumped into Canada’s waterways every single year. Because of this fact, already Canada’s waters are becoming contaminated but other countries are being impacted by water pollution even more than Canada. For example, according to (Linda St. Cyr, 2012), countries such as Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and Rwanda are impacted by water pollution in a huge way. Only 13% of clean drinking water is readily available in afghanistan. In Ethiopia, people must travel for six hours in order to get water that is unsafe to drink and can spread disease. In Rwanda, because of the topography, installing public water systems are hard. All these countries are suffering from the lack of clean water. In a global perspective, The ever increasing amount of water pollution is slowly but surely affecting everything in the
