Phosphorus causes increased algae in freshwater and nitrogen causes increased algae in marine waters. When these nutrients are introduced to an aquatic system is causes rapid growth of algae which depletes the oxygen in the water that the invertebrates and fish need to live. In addition, species that depend on algae for food suffer because of the high concentration of these extra chemicals. Another issue from the introduction of raw sewage into the ecosystem is the carbon material from plants and

Approximately 97% of the water found on Earth is saltwater leaving around 3% of Earth’s water as freshwater. Of this, 70% is in the form of ice in glaciers, ice caps and as permanent snow. The remaining minority of available freshwater is stretched for use by Earth’s 6 ¾ billion people for agriculture, industry, recreation, tourism and municipal use. This remaining useable freshwater is in the form of lakes, ponds, rivers, streams, and general wet areas. Lakes, ponds and bogs are generally stationary

The Process of Water Sustainability Looking down on this planet from an outsiders perspective, it would be appear that Earth is composed mostly of land. However through years of research scientists have discovered that Earth is actually primarily made up of water. Approximately seventy one percent of the surface is covered by water, with only three percent of this being fresh water. This small percentage is primarily seen on the surface in snow banks and ice caps. While water has primarily been
