Answer
Three water pollutants are:
- Waste from farms i.e. fertilizers and pesticides. The chemicals in them pollute the water.
- Industries release their waste products directly into the rivers thus degrading water quality.
- Disease causing agents like bacteria, viruses and protozoans enter the sewage system. This sewage is ultimately discharged into water bodies like sea.
