2. There will always be chemical pollution. Chemical micro particles impregnated in organic matter (faeces and others) dillution in the TGE technology and industrial and domestic water.

3. I would have effect on Aquatic life for sure - if the tem of the under water is increased it will harm the aquatic life.
