Industrial Use
Industrial use accounts for 20-25% of the world's water use. Industrial use is also responsible for water contamination. The Silicon Valley in the United States has contaminated over 150 areas of grounwater.
>Industries emit gases that cause acid rain; when acid rain falls into lakes and rivers it contaminates the water and kills everything inside.

>Industries emit gases that cause acid rain; when acid rain falls into lakes and rivers it contaminates the water and kills everything inside.
>Industries also dump large amounts of pesticides and toxic chemicals into our water resources; now 40% of the United States' water is too dangerous for swimming, drinking and fishing. Additionally, because pesticides are so heavily used for industrial farming, so much of it has made its way into our
groudwater; this ground water is then pumped and served to the public. Industrial toxins have contaminated water systems around the world. 80% of China's rivers are so defiled that they no longer support fish. Contaminated water results in outbreaks of E.coli, rising rates of infertility, blindness, ect. |
