The Tragedy Of Love Canal

Everything is affected by water pollution. Animals are affected worldwide by this problem. Aquatic creatures and their ecosystems are usually the first to be affected since they are receiving a direct impact from this type of pollution in their main environment. After that the rest of animals get affected, including humans who are the ones that cause the issue. Many children die each year of diseases and lack of water. Rivers, beaches, streams, etc. become unusable because of the pollution in the water.

One of the first major incidents in the United States was the tragedy of Love Canal. The project of making a canal that connected the Niagara River to Lake Ontario was abandoned, the unfinished canal became a land fill for many different companies

This will cause the water pollution issue to never be resolved. People are selfish, people only worry about themselves and their wellbeing but many others are suffering and dying because of this issue. People might be apathetic towards this issue because if they have not been exposed to it, then they do not know what it feels like to lack of potable water and they will not see it as something of importance. But this attitude of people and companies is what does not bring a solution to the issue. The weak regulations of the usage of water in the country and around the world is slowly contaminating the usable water. Many people will continue to die and a lot of privileges that people have today might not be around in the future. Simple things like going to the beach or the pool can become an issue as pollution rises because there will be less water available to swim safely and having running water in houses can eventually become more expensive due to a lack of usable water. Usually something very bad has to happen for a real change to be done. Bad things happen today and some efforts are made but it is not enough. Once this issue begins to affect everyone, even people in developed cities which are supposed to have good water quality, at that time people will begin to think and try to do something more serious. But that is not how it should be, people should think about now and what can be done to prevent bad things from
