Second Method : Observation

My research area is the residential area. I can easily found the rubbish in the drain and also people easily throw the rubbish by the roadside. These attitude may lead the water pollution become worse.

Rubbish found by the roadside
Cause by the human attitude, simple throw the rubbish

  

Another human attitude : Simply throw rubbish in the  drain
When raining, the rubbish will flow into the river and polluted the river

Conclusion

From these method of research, I found that most of the cause of water pollution is from the human activities or attitude themselves. Where the rubbish come if not from the human who create the rubbish. So, the changes of attitude is important in order to get rid or prevent this issue happen again and again.
