Talk:Water pollution

Here is more content that you deleted, User:Smokefoot. I don't think it should be deleted. Again, I think it would be fairly easy to find suitable references of this, even by just looking at the respective Wikipedia articles on acid rain for example:

• Acidity caused by industrial discharges (especially sulfur dioxide from power plants) or by increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere (see also ocean acidification). In industrialized areas, acid rain has in the past resulted in pollution of lakes and rivers due to air pollution with dissolved oxides of sulfur and nitrogen.^{[citation needed]}

I don't have time today but I am just putting it here so that it's not forgotten. EMsmile (talk) 16:27, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

I could see ocean acidification being a component of marine pollution, but I have not encountered concerns about CO2 content and especially not SO2 content of fresh water. I mean atmospheric pollutants are unwelcome for sure and must interact with freshwater, but it is sort of a minor topic as far as I know. While on this topic, there must be lists of major water polluters and their effluents. Pulp mills being one.--Smokefoot (talk) 16:41, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

I have now added the content about acidity back in with references in the section on atmospheric pollution under nonpoint sources. Yes, acid rain is more of a problem for fresh water, whereas CO2 is (eventually) becoming a problem for oceans. Both freshwater and oceans are part of water pollution, so they should both be included in this article. - Regarding a list of major (industrial) water polluters, I think that kind of content is available at industrial wastewater which we link to. There is also this article: Water pollution in the United States which we link to in the "by country" section. EMsmile (talk) 08:19, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
