The Problem and Delimitations

Perceptible—can be seen and sense How do you

view marine life?

Imperceptible – cannot be seen but is essential What is the

essence of a clean body of water?

Peripheral– indirect expenses Who will

finance the restoration?

Finding an Economic & Efficient RegulationWater Pollution

Lifestyle means the way human live their life in view of their nationalities, cultures and traditions. Too much industrialization results to water pollution, degradation of natural resources, marine life and destruction of the environment.

The Impact on Lifestyle of Water Pollution

Economic Report The report is important, however,

delimitations and problems should be considered.

Dissimilarity between an indoor and outdoor water pollution

Advantage and Disadvantage have real and estimated expenses that hinges on public view

Finding the best economic regulation Water pollution can impact on lifestyle Knowledge, statures and pledge are

solution to lessen water pollution
