Abstract

The presentation is based on the extensive research on identifying various facets of water pollution in the Queensland of Australia. This presentation is based on the peer reviewed articles reflecting the factors of water pollution. There are several political, economic, social and technological matters that are directly related to the environmental change. This environmental change is reflected in the increasing level of water pollution. Some of the cusses of water pollution are however, natural but most of them are the result of human actions.

Fresh water is essential for the survival of life on this earth hence people need to take responsibilities to prevent water pollution in a regular basis. The natural phenomena of water pollution include, acid rain, eutrophication and global warming. These are leading to pollution of water in the Queensland area of Australia as well as the whole world. In the human causes of water pollution, excessive urbanization in small part of the region leads to higher level of population and this one of the most important reasons of water pollution. The ground water is becoming polluted through uncontrolled sewage system in these households for which the people have no awareness. In addition to this, intensive agriculture is another important reason of water pollution. The farmers are using huge amount of fertilizers and chemical pesticides are used to pollute water. Industrialization leading to huge number of factories for different types of business are growing and supporting the economy of Australia but increasing water pollution.

Due to these reasons of water pollution the effects have become more intense. These are leading to the accumulation of chemicals from pesticides, heavy metal and other toxic compound in the body of sea animals and human beings through water intake. Chemical pollution originated from the chemical wastes of the industries are leading to increase of acid rain. Water pollution is leading to the uneven rainfall distribution in the lands which is affecting the water balance in nature. Due to water pollution, agricultural lands, fisheries and natural resources mainly the great barrier reef and the tourist attraction are being affected which is leading economic uncertainty.

In order to prevent such situation, the government of Australia has issued some regulations. Under the Environment Protection (Sea Dumping) Act 1981 (Commonwealth) it is an offence to dump or incinerate a controlled material into Australian waters. The Queensland government has also imposed various regulations on the factories to reduce chemical wastes. There are numerous treatment technologies which are used in the prevention of water pollution and reducing increasing contamination of freshwater systems. Emerging pollutants detection is another technological aspect that can save water from polluting. Marine water purification system has been started to be utilized in the country. Therefore, it can be concluded that creation of awareness among the people of the region to enhance knowledge about the method of preventing water pollution and motivating the industries to being change in the CSR policies and recycle water will help the government to reduce water pollution.
