Water pollutants are described as any manner of undesirable materials or physical and chemical characteristics of water which makes it unfit for humanconsumption. It is the waste material (effluents) of industries, household sewage, oil spillage, agriculture and business run.
• Industrial wastes – business wastes containing heavy metals and chemical compounds like arsenic, cadmium, copper, chromium, mercury, zinc, nickel, etc. These wastes are launched with the right measure along with lakes, ponds and rivers in water without delay.
• These wastes contaminate our bodies in water and take them to unsuitable for humanconsumption.
• Hot water is the pollutant mentioned by every other
1. Many industries use water as a coolant for equipment and launch hot wastewater into the water that our bodies are exposed to, exposing it to thermal pollutants that have an effect on plant and animal life.
2. Floor Run Off- Run off from agricultural land is contaminated with residues of pesticides and inorganic fertilizers.
3. Run off from cities and businesses are rich in natural and inorganic compounds. These pollutants contaminate each floor and floor water resources.
4. Oil Spills- An oil spill is an unintentional discharge of petroleum goods into oceans and estuaries from capsized oil tankers, offshore drilling and exploration operations. It can cause huge losses to marine and coastal biodiversity.
5. Domestic Sewage- It is naturally rich in organic matter and detritus. The decomposition of natural organic matter will increase the nutrient content of our body water.
6. Availability of additional vitamins effects in algal bloom on water floor with a decrease in oxygen content content (BOD- biological oxygen demand). This in turn results in the loss of aquatic life. This process is called eutrophication.
1. Sewage treatment plants need to be established to deal with the sewage before it is released into our body of water.
2. Excessive use of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers should be avoided.
3. Organic manipulation of insect pests and natural farming is to be looked into with the aim of reducing dependence on pesticides and inorganic fertilizers.
4. Biolegalisation and strict enforcement.
5. By developing social consciousness among humans to reduce water pollutants and want for natural water.
