The effects of water pollution vary greatly depending on what type of pollutant is involved and how large the body of water is. Bodies of water that are near major metropolises usually suffer more severe effects of water pollution due to garbage and chemicals being dumped into them, either legally or illegally. One of the most troubling and serious effects of water pollution is the depletion of oxygen that it causes resulting in the death of the marine life that reside in the water ecosystems. Fish, birds, and dolphins have been found dead on beaches, a casualty of the effects of water pollution.

This also effect fishermen and their livelihood.

Fertilizers and oil also causes trouble in bodies of water by choking out vegetation that is vital to a healthy water system leading to green slimy waters, dead fish and unpleasant smells.

When water is too polluted to use it must be treated which costs a lot of time, resources and money. The water quality is directly affected the activities and habits of people all around the world.

Overall the effects of water pollution is recreational water can cost a lot of money and limit the enjoyment of the waters.
