How rubbish disposal contribute to water pollution?

Rubbish disposal contributes to water pollution when waste materials, such as plastics, chemicals, and organic matter, are improperly discarded and enter waterways. Rainwater can wash these pollutants into rivers, lakes, and oceans, leading to contamination of water sources. Additionally, landfills can leach toxic substances into groundwater, further exacerbating the problem. This pollution harms aquatic ecosystems and poses risks to human health.
