- Water Pollution
- features of a water body that affect impacts from pollutants
- Turbulence
- Volume
- affects dilution
- Biodiversity
- affects removal rates via biomagnification
- Acidity
- Geology
- permeability/ impermeability
- Catchment Area
- size and landuse
- Temperature
- Depth
- Flow Rate
- in and out of the ecosystem
- Thermal Pollution
- Source: Thermal Powerstaions
- Effects
- changes in gas solubility within the water. e.g. CO2 & O2
- Nutrient pollution
- Organic
- Urea
- Sugar
- Livestock Manure
- impacts of livestock / sewage
- Malodorus
- increased suspended solids causing turbidity
- 'coliform' pathogenic bacteria e.g. e-coli
- impacts of livestock / sewage
- Domestic Sewage
- Slaughter house waste
- Paper mills
- Tanneries
- Food Processing
- Fermenting
- Fish Farms
- Silage
- Distilleries / Breweries
- Control Methods
- Sewage Treatment
- Effects
- Organic Nutrients discharged into water
- Aerobic bacteria decompose the organic matter
- Reduces DO
- Suffocation of aquatic organisms
- Organic Nutrients discharged into water
- Aerobic bacteria decompose the organic matter
- Reduces DO
- Suffocation of aquatic organisms
- Suffocation of aquatic organisms
- Increases BOD

- Inorganic
- Nitrates
- Phosphates
- Ammonia
- Effects
- Nitrate/ Phosphate fertiliser leached into water
- Algal blooms occur
- Sunlight blocked from Macrophytes
- photosynthesis reduced or stopped
- Plants die
- BOD increases
- DO decreases
- Death of aquatic organism
