Over the course of time, the areas that are constantly rooted begin to deteriorate. As the groundcover and topsoil are lost, plant life cannot be sustained and the ecosystem in that area is destroyed (Bunton). Since industrialized hog corporations care more about the money involved than the environment, it is beginning to degrade the ecosystem. The way farms are run today is putting a burden on the ecosystem. Due to the waste that produces so many gasses that effect the atmosphere and the erosion caused from the pigs tendency to root, the water system is effected. .
A necessary factor for a healthy environment is healthy water sources. With the way hog factories are set up, the waste can easily make its way into wetlands, streams, creeks, and rivers. Due to leaching, contamination can affect soil for many years by entering the natural water systems and destroying aquatic life, thus, making water unfit for consumption (Bunton). The waste lowers the pH levels and causes the beneficial aquatic life to die out completely in that area (Tymczyna). After the water is polluted, the algae continue to grow without containment and become destructive. As the runoff continues to contaminate the rivers, the algae will begin to take over more, and this results in people who live in these communities that are not able to fish, hunt, and use recreation facilities in these areas (Tymczyna). When the water sources are no longer viable, not only for the life that is sustained in them, it begins to affect other living entities on land.
Farmers use natural water systems, such as rivers and deep wells to provide water for their grazing stock. When the water is polluted due to leaching, it is absorbed into the livestock system and many field crops such as corn. Evolution of any species is not fast enough to develop these changes (Bunton). This results in more health problems in livestock. Nourishing water is vital for grazing animals such as cows, goats, sheep, and many more (Stone).
