This document discusses water pollution in Ras Al Khaimah (RAK). It identifies the main causes of water pollution as direct discharge from factories, toxic chemicals, and residential waste. Another cause is solid wastes from human activities, which account for 83% of pollution. The effects of water pollution include killing marine animals and impacting fisheries and water quality in RAK. Proposed solutions involve implementing waste water treatment, banning direct pipes to the sea, holding conferences, a future tunnel plan, field studies, artificial platforms, strict laws, and rubbish bins along the coastline.
