WATER POLLUTION
The major source for ground and surface water pollution is by discharge of industrial effluents, domestic sewage and waste water from agricultural activities.
The domestic sewage contains high organic material causing depletion of dissolved oxygen and increasing bacteriological contamination.
The industrial effluents are having various toxic chemicals which increase the dissolved salts causing bio-degradation and deterioration of both ground and surface water.
The agriculture run off contains fertilizers, pesticide residue which causes ecological degradation and also affects the aquatic life.
The water pollution affects public health, agricultural production and also industrial activities.
