3、T Human activities including industrialization and agricultural practices contributed immensely in no small measure to the degradation and pollution of the environment which adversely has an effect on the water bodies (
4、rivers and ocean) that is a necessity for life. This paper tries to discuss basically what water pollution is and equally to address the source, effect control and water pollution management as a whole. Some recommenda
5、tions such as introduction of environmental education were mentioned. Keyword: Environmental Education; Pollution; Management; Phytoremediation; Biomass and Control 1. INTRODUCTION The importance of water for sustenanc

8、 degree that the water cannot be used for a specific purpose. Olaniran (1995) defined water pollution to be the presence of excessive amounts of a hazard (pollutants) in water in such a way that it is no long suitable
