Our center, with the support of its administration and as part of its ongoing scientific activities, held a workshop on “Water Pollution, Its Causes and How to Treat It” on Monday, January 27, 2025. Organized by the workshops and seminars committee and moderated by Assistant Lecturer Noor Hussein Yousif, the session was presented by Assistant Lecturer Ali Kamel Wanas. The workshop explained that water pollution occurs when harmful substances, such as chemicals or microorganisms, contaminate any body of water, degrading its quality and posing a risk to human health and the environment. The presenter emphasized the widespread nature of this problem and its health implications. The discussion covered how the release of liquid waste, like sewage, into water systems alters water quality. Water pollution sources were categorized as natural (e.g., acidic and thermal waste from volcanoes) and unnatural. Unnatural sources include household waste (sewage and laundry waste), industrial waste (from factories, labs, and hospitals), and agricultural waste. The lecture aimed to identify the environmental influences and pollutants affecting local and regional waters, focusing on the most dangerous pollutants and their negative impacts on health, the economy, and biodiversity. Recommendations included developing and improving agricultural lands using modern irrigation methods to increase crop yields without expanding farmland, and building dams and reservoirs for equitable water distribution to mitigate drought. We wish our center’s teachers continued success in serving the community, science, and knowledge.
