W ater, formally known as H 2 O, is one of the most important compounds to life. Not only is it a major component of organisms, it also feeds the ecosystem of the organism with nutrients. Organisms that live in the water depend on it for transport, food and oxygen, and if water becomes polluted that entire ecosystem is in danger. W ater pollution is the addition of substances to the water in concentrations high enough to damage the ecosystem. Pollution can be from a natural source or an unnatural source that is deposited gradually or immediately to reach dangerously high amounts.
