Abstract

Water is a good solvent, which is the reason why many chemical substances dissolved in it, this paper critically discussed on water pollution and its two sources, effect of water pollution such as sewage, pesticides, animal wastes and the measures control of water pollution as a whole. The paper concluded that, Government alone cannot solve the entire problems related to water pollution and recommended among other, that Government should provide farmers with education on how to use pesticides, fertilizers and other related farms input.
