Explain why we say soil and water pollution are closelyrelated |
|
Answer» Soil and water pollution is indeed closely related. We dump all kinds of wastes like garbage,chemicals, fertilizers,etc. in the soil. Rainwater percolates through the soil and carries the harmful chemicals produced by the garbage and hence contaminates groundwater too. Soil and water resources are closely related to each other. The fertilizer and pesticides we use in our fields get drained into the water bodies via. Rainwater. If there is increased soil pollution it also degrades the available groundwater reserves and pollute water. The waste materials we dump near the water bodies produces harmful chemicals and also foul smell when degraded. The adversely affect the aquatic life. |
