Human activity is real danger to natural resources like water, air, etc. Now the question is how we can make them unaffected by human activity. I suggest we should frame rules incurring heavy financial punishment to people / companies for pollution of natural resources. Also the entry of polluted water can be prevented into lakes , ponds, by constructing suitable wall/ barrier around the lake / ponds restricting the entry of polluted water. The ships can be charged heavily for releasing waste material / water into the lakes. The money so collected may be used for cleaning the lake water. Alternatively ships may be forced not to release water water/ material into the lakes.

The main problem that causes lake pollution is human activities. In Egypt Nasser lake, at south of Egypt, represented the fresh water storage for Egypt. Since the construction of this lake, no pollution inters the lake but since the 10 last years some tourism activates (Nile ships) cause pollution to lake water. These ships drain their wastewater to the lake and cause pollution
