  ABSTRACT: One major problem that humanity has been confronting recently is water quality. Just 2.5 percent of the water resources on Earth are freshwater resources. Water is an indispensable resource for all living things, and it is a vital value. Pollution of limited freshwater resources causes further pressure on freshwater resources. Humans play a major role in the waste and pollution of this essential natural resource. This research project focused on the impacts of water pollution and its effects on agriculture, land and aquatic systems, a case study which was conducted in River Njoro, in Nakuru County. With the aid of questioners for information acquisition, the study determined different pollutants and their impact on agriculture. Results indicated that there is a dire need for conservation efforts in the area. Humanity should receive education awareness-capacity building regarding water contamination in order to mitigate the issues to some extent. By doing so, the world we live in becomes a better place for all.
