The industrial use water to cool down hot machinery, the water used to cool down, is then released in to the rivers with high water temperatures. This process is known as the thermal pollution. This high temperatures of water effects the aquatic life or puts them in a highly dangerous position. The changes to the water temperatures also have an effect on the oxygen levels in the water (Akbangia, 2010). To help prevent this type of water pollution, the industries or the factories should wait till the water cools before draining it out into the environment thereby decreasing the negative effect on th w aquatic life. Yes it may cause the industrial companies a lot more, but trying to save our natural resources is a very important thing to
