Some types of water pollution are insect repllent (from runoff when it rains). There are also chemicals, garbage, toxic waste, and oil spills. Harmful materials are another cause. An example of oil spill pollution is off the coast of South Africa where oil started leaking out of a ship and then started gushing and ruining the South African penguins plumage. It took weeks to rescue the penguins and wash them. Multiple penguins on Robin's Island suffered severe feather loss and death. We wish that people will put forth their effort and help stop water pollution.
