INTRODUCTION
Water pollution occurs when harmful substances are
released into the water in large quantities which
cause damage to people, wildlife, or habitat or
indirectly into water bodies without proper treatment
to remove harmful compounds.
What is water pollution?
Water pollution is define as the presence in
groundwater of toxic chemicals and biological
agents that exceed what is naturally found in the
water and may pose a threat to human health or the
environment. Additionally, water pollution may
consist of chemicals introduced into the water bodies
as a result of various human activities. Any amount
of those chemicals pollutes the water, regardless of
the harm they may pose to human health and
environment.
TAP WATER
Tap water is a water supplied to a tap. Its uses including
drinking, washing , cooking, and the flushing of toilets .
Indoor tap water is distributed through “indoor
plumbing”, which has eisted since antiquity but was
available to very few people until the second half of the
19th century when it began to spread in popularity in what
are now developed countries. Tap water became common
in many regions during the 20th century and is now
lacking mainly among people in developing countries .
*Soil digging inside river area (that is the major point of the
study area for water pollution)
*Eroded sediments
*Deforestation
*Littering
*Pesticides
*Herbicides and fertilizer
*Using HYV seed
∗Eutrophication (Eutrophication is an increased level of
nutrients in water bodies. This results in bloom of Algae in
Water. It also depletes the oxygen in water, which negatively
affects fish and other aquatic animal population)
*Failing septic system
*Household chemicals (Dishwashing waste, laundry waste)
*Animal waste
*Heat(Industrial areas hot water mixed into cold water and
polluted…example, saw it at Farakka thermal power project
areas hot water mixed into Fider canal water)
Effect of water pollution
Water pollution is a major problem in the
global context. It has been suggested that it
is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and
diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths
of more than 14,000 people daily.
1.An estimated 700 million Indians have no
access to a proper toilet,
and 1,000 Indian children die of diarrhea
sickness every day.
Some 90% of China's cities suffer from some
degree of water pollution, and nearly 500
million people lack access to safe drinking
water.
