Abstract

Water is the origin of life. 3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered by water and all living things must have water to survive. Life without water can not be considered. Despite this, of all living things only humans exploit, waste and pollute this vital natural resource. Raising awareness of the people on this issue is of great importance. At this point, environmental education is a key concept. This theoretical study aims to reveal the importance of environmental education as a solution tool for the prevention of water pollution. The study will be undertaken depending on the literature review.
