Beach Water Pollution and Quality in Long Beach
There are many primary sources of beach water pollution. They can be listed in the following manner. Storm water runoff (water that originates as rain or melted snow water, but during the course of its journey accumulates waste from land, such as human and animal fecal matter; plant, animal, and construction debris; roads, rooftops, and so on). Waste generated by sewer systems (this can constitute leaks of human and industrial waste from old and malfunctioning pipes, or a combination of raw sewage and runoff waste from human establishments and industries). Waste from boating systems (mostly in marinas, where clean water cannot be circulated because of the natural or artificially constructed breakthrough). Waste from septic systems (waste from septic tanks that treat human waste, but often discharge residue in nearby water bodies). Agricultural waste (excessive manure generated on industrialized farms and large quantities of animal waste), climate change that results in altered rain patterns and increased flooding and erosion on coasts. Beach visitors who often leave behind wastage in the form of feces, plastic packets, and pet waste. Another source of beach water pollution is marine debris, such as plastic items and oil spills.
