Water pollution must be stopped. Thousands of animals die each year from water pollution. Water pollution was originally caused by need of space (to dump trash). The dumping of garbage was caused by the lack of space in landfills. Instead of recycling some people started dumping the trash in the water. But in 1956 when the Federal Water Pollution Control Act was created. It slowed almost to a halt in 1977 when the Clean Water Act was created. But, it still happens. Company's still dump waste in the ocean, streams, and rivers even though it is against the law.
             I think many people agree with saving the oceans and lakes, but many people still dump waste not knowing it or just not caring. Another reason why we have so much waste is because of hospitals. They are constantly dumping excess trash and things of that sort into the oceans, rivers, streams, lakes, and ponds.
             Water pollution kills all kinds of animals every year. Oil spills near anchorage Alaska caused over 3,000 otters to die 36,000 different kinds of seabirds were killed and over 100 eagles.
             Eventually water pollution will cause there to be no life in the ocean, lakes, and rivers. All the dumping of waste into the water will cause all the water creatures to die off and there will be tolerable areas for life or people to swim, or anything at all.
             That is why I am hear today. I am hear to discuss our ten-year plan with you. We need to cut down on the deadly wastes that are put into our waters. The hospitals should stop dumping their wastes into lakes, rivers, or oceans. We hope to come up with a plan called the Water Quality Program. We hope this will improve the performance of water quality projects based on voluntary adoption of alternative management practices. We also hope to have more cooling towers to prevent thermal pollution for the waters.
