Ways to Reduce Water Pollution

2.Don't use pesticides and herbicides

Switch to natural methods for getting rid of pests and
weeds.

Look into organic gardening practices to find creative ways
to deal with garden pests. For example, many pests can be
dealt with using a simple solution of dish soap and water.

Planting native species can also help, since native species
have developed a resistance to the pests and weeds in the

area. Species native to other lands are more susceptible to
disease as well.
