The boat was then released and the stop watch immediately started 4. When the paper boat passed the required distance the stopwatch was then stopped, results where then recorded. target area * To identify the causes and consequences of pollution, at various points on Cipero River South, Trinidad. Analysis and Discussion Do you know the meaning of the word pollution?Longman Geography for CSEC gives the definition as, the unclean state of the environment resulting in physical, chemical substance and biological changes that open fire seriously affect ecological systems. Pollution results from the wrong disposal of eat up, whether solid, liquid or gas, with this being said from the results which were obtained at Ciprero River it is my article of faith that the river is polluted. Seven points of the river were examined at the river and at each point which was visited in that location was pollution of various forms present.At the beginning of the river it was slightly polluted there was little outlaw(a) disposal of unwanted materials such as garbage and iron present, this whitethorn have been due to individuals who pass nearby the river occasion all toldy, and to a fault due to push back vehicles who are constantly passing on the roads on a daily day to day basis. Despite this it was noticed that as I examined more and more points of the river, the more polluted it seemed. At point cardinal of the river there was pollution present in the water due to unbecoming drain caused by industries, industrial waste was seen circulating in the water.At various parts of the water it was brown and murky black in colo r, it also had an offensive smell. There are three types of major pollution that can be observed at the Cipero River. Land pollution is one of them, the Cipero River is fit(p) in an area which is close to the town San Fernando, many people on a daily bases pass through this area to go to touch their jobs, and also to reach to the town. It can be said that people oft throw and dispose of their garbage improperly and due to the constant heraldic bearing of individuals passing through this region, more and more garbage is accumulating near and indoors the river.Water pollution is the second major form of pollution, in the form of sewer due to improper drainage. Water enters the river due to the housing developments poor drainage system and also from industries that release harmful chemicals and waste into the water, this affects the color and character of the water. Water pollution, also poses a threat to the animal species that are present in the water, it was observed that at p oint 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?Offensive 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 night people may also not have a choice and urinate near the river, this along with the water pollution and vote down pollution increases the smell of the river making 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 easy stopped if individuals are willing to make a difference. In conclusion, the division of pollution is one that is not taken seriously in Trinidad and Tobago, all around us every day we see pollution existing, up to now still nobody seems to care.Pollution is something that should be addressed more regularly because although it may seem like its not important, it is.
