Question

What will happen when the garbage is dumped into the rivers?

• A. Fishes and water plants die
• B. Water becomes unfit for drinking
• C. The inlets and ground water sources are blocked
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

When the garbage is dumped into the rivers or water bodies, they cannot be degraded and get accumulated in the bodies. The degradation of these materials results in the release of toxic compounds which kill the plants and aquatic animals. The water becomes polluted and is not unfit for drinking. The inlets of the fresh water and the sources of ground water gets blocked which results in the accumulation of contaminants in the same water body and lack of water resources.
