उत्तर
A change in pressure of the water bodies
Explanation:
Water pollution can be defined as an undesirable change in the physical, biological or chemical qualities of water that adversely affects aquatic life and makes water unfit for use. Water pollution is caused due to addition of undesirable substances (pollutants) to the water bodies. Polluted water may be devoid of certain desirable substances like oxygen, essential nutrients, optimum pH etc. Thermal pollution, i.e., changes in the temperature of water bodies can adversely affect aquatic organisms and cause their death.
