Water Chemistry and its Role in Environmental Sustainability

Water is an important outcome of life and the chemical structure of water has direct influence on the ecological balance, human health and sustainable development. PH, dissolved oxygen, nutrients and pollutants are all some of the key aspects of water chemistry that determine the quality of water and its application in the use of environmentally and industrially safe systems. The article will evaluate some of the fundamental parameters of the water essence and the effect of the parameters to environmental sustainability. The combination of chemical variables was researched with the data on freshwater and wastewater systems as sources of pollution levels and ecological effects. The results indicate that chemical disproportions, such as excess nitrates or excess heavy metals, are threatening to aquatic life, besides, degrading ecosystem services. The only way to maintain water resources is by use of good water management methods, which include use of chemicals to monitor, undergo treatment processes and control pollution. The paper emphasizes that there is a necessity of holistic methods that incorporate chemistry, ecology and policy to ensure environmental sustainability in the long run.
