Abstract

Human activities like industrialisation and agriculture have greatly contributed to environmental degradation and pollution, which has a severe influence on life-giving water bodies (rivers and oceans). This research aims to characterise water pollution and address its causes, as well as its consequences for human health and water pollution management in general. Some proposals were presented, such as including environmental education into the curriculum.   Received: 11 March 2022 / Accepted: 30 April 2022 / Published: 5 May 2022
