About 82,100,000 results - 82 million - this is the number of results in Internet if you google ‘water pollution’.
One of the standard definitions of water pollution is at:
They wrote:
“Water pollution occurs when a body of water is adversely affected due to the addition of large amounts of materials to the water. The sources of water pollution are categorized as being a point source or a non-source point of pollution. Point sources of pollution occur when the polluting substance is emitted directly into the waterway. A pipe spewing toxic chemicals directly into a river is an example. A non-point source occurs when there is runoff of pollutants into a waterway, for instance when fertilizer from a field is carried into a stream by surface runoff.”
From this it follows that to control pollution, it is enough to control ‘the addition of large amounts of materials to the water’.
This is true but not all the truth. The situation with water pollution is more sophisticated. Until now, the issues of water self-purification were underestimated.
To address this issue, a proper step forward was done in the experiments of Dr. Sergei A. Ostroumov (Moscow University).
His experiments were described in his papers and books. Blog posts about his publications attract much attention of the international audience of the Internet : up to 1,500 reads/views a day:

On the basis of his experiments he created an innovative theory of water self-purification. This theory was described in his publications:

Practical conclusions from this pioneering research will help to better control pollution and water quality both in freshwater and marine ecosystems.
