Water pollutionDefinition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pollution) Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). Water pollution occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. (Wikipedia) Preferred Units: N/A Scope Note:
