Given below are a few ways to prevent water pollution: Toxic products like paints, automobile oil, and cleaning products should be stored and disposed off properly. 
Dispose off trash in a proper manner and try and incorporate the recycling habit as far as possible.
Refrain from throwing litter into streams, seas. collect them and dispose off them in any nearby waste disposal system.Also, it is important to keep your automobile well maintained in order to prevent leakages of toxic fluids like antifreeze and oil.
Also, actively conserve water turning the tap off such as while brushing teeth. 
Try using environmentally friendly household products like toiletries, soap-based household cleaning material, and washing powder as far as possible.
Try using natural fertilizers and pesticides as far as possible, do not overuse them or lawns. Reducing the pollutants that get into water systems due to runoffs.
