What to do to reduce water pollution?

An abyss of answers can arise to this question. There are many ways we can reduce water pollution. Too list a few: educate and inform the population of the world to what pollution is and how to control and contain any and all spills, demand from our governmental leaders harsher penalties when pollution occurs, petition governments to start enforcing the laws already in place, (laws are not enforced 100 % : i would reason that 1/2 of spills or pollution is not accounted for because of politics, laziness, and a lack of people in the workforce to enforce these laws. These are key reasons why so much pollution is still tolerated.) The US coast Guard does not have enough manpower to have full blown environmental police dedicated to charging people with violations. There is a need for environental police and no one to fill it. When was the last time you heard of anyone getting a ticket for littering, or spilling oil over the side of their boat? I bet you can not name that many. Finally, citizens need to be proactive in reporting all spills even if it is a teapoon of a harmful substance, wheter it is there self or another party involved. The Federal Government requires that the National Response Center (1-800-424-8802) be notified by the responsible party for the release or discharge of any oil, product or hazardous substance. Failure to notify or deliberately discharging can lead to criminal penalties. Or a bystander can call it in. Also note, citizens should petition that a finder's fee with a heavy reward fee be paid to the citizen that reported the spill if it is documented and investigated in accordance with governmental procedureds ( i.e. US Coast Guard procedures should be followed when conducting a spill report to be eligible for the reward ). The citizens should petition for a higher penalty fee to allocate money towards the finder fee for reporting a pollution spill.
