sedentary. As a result, significant amounts
of nitrogen were released into groundwater
as a result of farming activities, and
microbiological diseases and bacteria were
also dispersed in the aquifers as a result of
hygienic home waste disposal. Agriculture
and urbanization have expanded and
intensified throughout time as a result of
population development, as has the
attendant groundwater pollution. Another
relevant human activity that degrades
groundwater quality is industry.
Wastewater management*
Wastewat Water reuse (also known as water recycling
er reuse or water reclamation) is the process of
reclaiming water from various sources and
then treating and reusing it for beneficial
purposes such as agriculture and irrigation,
potable water supplies, groundwater
replenishment, industrial processes, and
environmental restoration. Water reuse can
supplement existing water supplies and
improve water security, sustainability, and
resilience.
Air management*
Air Air pollution can be caused by both natural
processes as well as by human behavior.
For like example causes
• Wildfire
• Vehicles
• Waste deposition in landfills
• Animals
• Radioactive decay
• Dust
poisoning. Contaminated groundwater
can potentially impact wildlife. Exposure
to dirty water may potentially have long-
term consequences, such as some types
of cancer.
Mismanagement of trash may occur if
suitable practices are not followed. This
could imply that rubbish is not disposed
of in landfills or burned, but rather
illegally dumped in forests or lakes. This
mishandling can result in major pollution
of the environment, which can have a
negative impact on many creatures and
plants.

cleaning agents and
toiletries.
• Take great care not to
overuse pesticides and
fertilisers. This will prevent
runoffs of the material into
nearby water sources.
• Don’t throw litter into rivers,
lakes or oceans. Help clean
up any litter you see on
beaches or in rivers and
lakes, make sure it is safe to
collect the litter and put it in a
nearby dustbin.
It is recommended to reuse treated
effluent for vehicle washing, dust
suppression, and cleaning; use of
bentonite slurry in diaphragm wall and
bore-pile construction should be
reconditioned and reused, wherever
possible, to reduce the volume of used
slurry to be disposed of;
Before discharging into storm drains,
wheel washing wastewater should be
diverted to sedimentation facilities for
removal of silt and sand; the road
section between the construction site
exit and the public road should be
properly paved to reduce vehicle
tracking of soil and to prevent site
runoff from entering storm drains;
Building construction entails a wide
range of construction operations.
Concrete, plastering, cleaning and
polishing, internal decoration, and other
comparable tasks would generate
wastewater. Direct dumping of
wastewater into storm drains would
degrade the receiving water body's
water quality. On-site, a properly
designed wastewater collecting system
should be installed to send all
wastewater to the sedimentation plant.
To neutralize the effluent, pH should be
adjusted if necessary.

• Reuse and recycle

devices

Waste management*
Solid/liquid Wastes are the materials we
waste come across in our day to day life.
These are the substances that are
not reusable or can be recycled
for any further use. The waste
materials can be in any form
ranging from solid, liquid nor gas.
The waste substances are the
leftovers of the stuff human use
can be classified into:
• Domestic
• Clinical
• Construction
• Nuclear
• Industrial
• Agricultural
• Commercial
Special waste Medical waste is described as
(medical, garbage that may include
radioactive, infectious materials.
chemical) A larger definition can encompass
all materials of laboratory or
medical origin, such as
packaging, infusion kits, and so
on.
• Physicians
• Hospitals
• Research
• Funeral homes
• Urgent care
• Retail health, etc
Contaminated land*
Land Land pollution can be defined as the
contamination or destruction of land
through indirect or direct human
actions.
It is a serious threat to animals, plants,
sea life and also to us humans as well
as to the whole environment.
Land pollution has become a serious
problem since the industrial revolution
has happened. For following example
causes
• Mining
• Sewage
• Nuclear waste
• Littering
• Construction
• Deforestration
• Use of pesticides
Surface water Surface water contamination is a
significant problem for municipal
authorities. It can lead to pollution on a
large scale and be a cause of major
illness in humans. Knowing how to
recognize it, minimize its occurrence,
and treat the problem effectively is vital
to maintaining a safe water supply.
How can surface water become
contaminated? One of the most
common sources of surface water
pollution is human waste, especially in
developing countries.
In addition to human waste, there are
issues with fertilizer seepage from
farmland into groundwater. Industrial
plants are also known to contaminate
surface water with by-products leaking
into rivers and drainage systems.
When the solid waste not collected
properly or if dumped in wrong places it
will lead to blocking sewage and drain
systems due to which the water is
accumulated in places it will cause:
• Growth viruses
• Leads society to live in
unhygienic conditions
• Flooding
Waste and dumping areas if not properly
cleaned will make way various organisms
and flies, insects increase their
population, it will causes a lot of
diseases.
If medical waste is not properly
disposed of, it can cause major
health problems. It may lead
• Blood poisoning
• Hepatitis
• Diseases from vaccines
• Ebola
• HIV
• Environmental impact

Resource storage Resource storage is one of the most
serious problems confronting the globe
today. It has been growing steadily
since the industrial revolution, causing
irreversible damage to Mother Earth.
Environmental contamination has its
own set of causes, consequences, and
solutions. Investigating these will assist
you in determining the causes and the
steps you may take to lessen the
effects. Environmental contamination is
divided into six categories: air, water,
land, soil, noise, and light.

Pollution is defined as the pollution of

cause environmental damage as well as
harm or discomfort to humans or other
living animals. It is the introduction of
