Deleted content about acidity
Here is more content that you deleted,
User:Smokefoot. I don't think it should be deleted. Again, I think it would be fairly easy to find suitable references of this, even by just looking at the respective Wikipedia articles on
acid rain for example:
I don't have time today but I am just putting it here so that it's not forgotten.

I could see
ocean acidification being a component of marine pollution, but I have not encountered concerns about CO2 content and especially not SO2 content of fresh water. I mean atmospheric pollutants are unwelcome for sure and must interact with freshwater, but it is sort of a minor topic as far as I know. While on this topic, there must be lists of major water polluters and their effluents. Pulp mills being one.--

I have now added the content about acidity back in with references in the section on atmospheric pollution under nonpoint sources. Yes, acid rain is more of a problem for fresh water, whereas CO2 is (eventually) becoming a problem for oceans. Both freshwater and oceans are part of water pollution, so they should both be included in this article. - Regarding a list of major (industrial) water polluters, I think that kind of content is available at
industrial wastewater which we link to. There is also this article:
Water pollution in the United States which we link to in the "by country" section.
