Now that you know the dangers of water pollution and why we should keep water clean, it's important that you know to prevent this kind of pollution. The following are just a few of the many ways to prevent water pollution.

1. Do not Litter!! I'm sure many of you, if not all, have heard of this rule before! I say so because here in school it's almost like our anthem! Do not throw littler on the ground or in lakes, rivers, seas or any other water bodies. The little chewing gum wrapper that you throw on the road could easily play a role in water pollution as it could be washed off the wind/rains into water bodies. This is unacceptable! 

 2. As silly as it may seem, be very careful when throwing objects in the sink or to be flushed away in the toilet. In case anyone has forgotten, the toilet was created for the disposal of bodily waste. Therefore, think twice before throwing paints, plastic, oils or any other "non-bodily" waste products into the toilet.



 3. This goes to all the car owners - Please ensure that your automobile is well maintained. It is very common for automobiles to have leakages. These leakages are of toxic fluids which are very harmful to the environment, in this case, our precious water.

4. One drop water is precious enough, so please save the little drops of water you can. When brushing you teeth or washing your hands (with soap) turn off the tap so that no unwanted water is running. Parts of the country has even been experiencing water shortages so let us do our best to ensure that this doesn't happen again.
