水生生态系统是污染物的最终汇。水污染是城市化、工业化、农业等人类活动的产物。过度使用农药和化肥以及居民区和工业区的污水最终会进入水环境。从而导致水质恶化，并导致痢疾、腹泻和黄疸等传染病的传播。水环境污染是主要的污染类型之一，具有严重的负面健康问题和死亡率。水有一种天然的中和污染的能力，但当污染变得不受控制时，水就会失去自我发电的能力。因此，有必要对附近水环境的污染物排放进行定期监测和控制。
Aquatic ecosystems are the ultimate sinks for the contaminants. Water contamination is the outcome of human activities such as urbanization, industrialization, and agricultural activities. The overuse of pesticides and fertilizers and sewage from residential and industrial areas ultimately find its way to aquatic environment. Thus results in the degradation of the water quality and leads to the spread of infectious diseases such as dysentery, diarrhea, and jaundice. Contamination in aquatic environs is one of the leading types of pollution which has significant negative health issues and mortality. Water has a natural capacity to neutralize the contamination, but when contamination becomes uncontrolled, water will lose its self-generating capacity. Therefore, there is a need for regular monitoring and controlling of pollutant discharge into the nearby aquatic environs.
