Answer:

The two mechanisms for water pollution are called direct and indirect (option B).

Explanation:

Water pollution can have multiple causes, which have been grouped into two categories - according to their source - direct and indirect.

  1. Among the direct causes are wastes from manufacturing plants, waste treatment or refineries, which go to urban water supply sources.
  2. Indirect causes of pollution come from environmental contaminants that fall through rain, or from contaminants that are found in the soil and filter into water sources.

All these pollutants come from human activity, so there is legislation for the control and prevention of water pollution for human consumption.

Regarding other options:

    High and low,  lethal and nonlethal  or harmful and innocuous do not constitute the classification of the causes of water pollution, although they can be useful to name the effects that this type of pollution produces.

Water Pollution is defined as the increased impurity or pollutants in the water bodies. Water pollution can be caused due to many human activities and natural factors.

The correct option is:

Option B. direct and indirect

The causes of water pollution include:

1. Direct causes refer to the wastes produced from the power plants, manufacturing units, refineries, and wastewater treatment plants, which are released directly into the water bodies.

2. Indirect causes refer to the contamination or pollutants found in the soil when are discharged into the water bodies.

Thus, water pollution should be decreased and proper legislation should be followed to decrease the causes of water pollution.
