The main causes of water pollution in Huai river in China

On June 19 2006, a Chinese expert on water control said that China faces the challenge of polluted waters that threaten the health of the Chinese people. Huai River is one of the serious polluted rivers in China. There are many causes of water pollution in Huai River. Among them, individual wastewaters, industrial wastewaters and agriculture are the three main causes of water pollution.

The individual wastewaters including toilets, bathing and laundry will be directly poured into the river. Some of these wastes are natural fertilizer which can make the float grasses boom like crazy. The fish in the river will not get enough oxygen. The fish will die and make the river even worse.

In addition, the industrial wastewaters damage the river more seriously. The wastewater which is full of chemical matters is poured into the river. It kills the fish and plants in the river directly and threatens the source of people’s drinking water.

Finally, agriculture also polluted Huai River. The chemical fertilizer will go into underground water or run into the river. This problem is serious because the fertilizers are widely used in the area. Those fertilizers with chemical substances are very harmful to human body. In this way, agriculture fertilizers also affect the water quality.

To sum up, individual, industrial wastewaters and agriculture are the three main causes of the Huai River pollution.

This is clear and concise, Aaron. Your thesis is obvious and your paragraphs follow accordingly. You can improve this by making the supporting paragraphs more detailed.

Thanks for your effort!

I think this problem occured long time ago. However, the sad thing is that they still haven't kill those pollution sources.

Water pollution has been quite serious and common in many rivers in China for several years. But nothing effective has be done to improve that. So sad...
