Pollution results from the unlawful organisation of waste, whether soli d, lucid or gas, with this being express from the results which were obtained at Ciprero River it is my belief that the river is polluted. Seven points of the river were examined at the river and at each point which was visited at that place was pollution of dissimilar forms sacrifice.At the beginning of the river it was slightly polluted there was little improper disposal of unwanted materials such as drivel and iron commit, this may have been over delinquent(p) to individuals who pass nearby the river occasionally, and besides imputable to motor vehicles who are invariablely liberty chit on the routes on a daily day to day basis. patronage this it was noniced that as I examined much and more(prenominal) points of the river, the more polluted it hearmed. At point four of the river there was pollution present in the water callable to improper drainage caused by industries, industrial waste was seen circulating in the water.At various parts of the water it was brown a nd dark black in color in, it also had an despicable smell. There are three types of major pollution that can be discover at the Cipero River. Land pollution is one of them, the Cipero River is located in an area which is besotted to the town San Fernando, many people on a daily bases pass by this area to go to attend their jobs, and also to reach to the town. It can be said that people often throw and lock up of their garbage improperly and due to the constant presence of individuals passing through this region, more and more garbage is accumulating near and within the river.Water pollution is the second major form of pollution, in the form of sewage due to improper drainage. Water enters the river due to the lodging developments little drainage system and also from industries that release harmful chemicals and waste into the water, this affects the color and quality of the water. Water pollution, also poses a threat to the animal species that are present in the water, it was observed that at point one of the river fishes and alligators were seen living in this river as their habitat, when the water becomes polluted and they cant survive, what will be the outcome? wretched odour also presents itself as pollution, improper drainage from peoples houses and industries enters the water causing it to have an unpleasant odour. The Cipero River is also located on a road which is constantly busy, sometimes at wickedness people may also not have a choice and work near the river, this along with the water pollution and land pollution increases the smell of the river make it smell more fowl.Conclusion Evidently there is a problem of pollution which is present at the Cipero River, due to types of pollution such as, sewage, offensive odour, and waste water. This is mainly due to poor waste and sewage practices and poor regulation of drainage, this problem can be easily stopped if individuals are involuntary to make a difference. In conclusion, the thing of po llution is one that is not interpreted seriously in Trinidad and Tobago, all rough us every day we see pollution existing, yet still zip seems to care.Pollution is something that should be addressed more on a regular basis because although it may seem like its not important, it is.
