What is the Cause of Water Pollution?

A fellow at Penn State has done investigate on how to turn wastewater into a reserve. Plant roots wrapped in layers of superfluous materials in the upright pipe to clean the dirty water from a washing machine, making it suitable for growing vegetables and toilet flushing.

There are actually many exact reasons behind what causes water pollution. But it is important to become familiar with the two main category of water pollution. Some pollution comes directly from a specific location. This type of pollution is called point source pollution such as manure pipes that drain polluted water into the river and farmland. Meanwhile, non-point source pollution Pollution that comes from large areas such as gasoline and other debris from the highway that go into lakes and rivers.

What causes water pollution? Who are the culprits who will be accountable for damages brought by their pollutants? How do these source of pollution contaminate various water bodies?

A major cause of pollution that has caused serious ecological and health problems are the pollutant coming from chemical and manufacturing processes. When the factories and manufacturers pour their chemicals and animal waste directly into streams and rivers, the water is toxic, and oxygen is depleted causing many aquatic organisms to die. These wastes include solvents and toxic substances. Most of the waste is not biodegradable. Power plants, paper mills, refinery, automobile factories dispose waste into the river.

Every time a breeder makes a cross between two plants, he or she creates an life form that has never before existed. And every time that a breeder crosses two plants, the genetic combination, represented by the offspring has never before existed. And it is such a character, how development works - by creating new combination.

The answer is not whether GE crops can be used in organic agriculture (they can not as they are now prohibited by the National Organic Program Standards), but rather, GE crops can be used to replace the current agricultural policy sustainable expansion?

Read the speech, and the recently released National Research Council report on "The Impact of GM crops in the Farm Sustainability in the U.S." and let me know if you believe that the use of GM crops are compatible with the goals of sustainable cultivation.
