Water Pollution

Water is a major component of our environment. It is so

important for human existence that it is often called ‘life’. We
need pure water to drink and for everyday domestic purposes.
Polluted water is harmful to the human body.

Water is being polluted continually by human beings in many

ways. Farmers use chemicals, fertilizers, and insecticides in their
fields. Those toxic chemicals get mixed with the water of the
rivers, canals, and ponds through rain and flood. Thus the
surface water resource is polluted badly. Again mills and
factories throw their toxic chemical waste into rivers and canals.
In rural areas, sanitary latrines and drains on the river banks are
also responsible for water pollution.

The villagers often throw the dead bodies of animals and rotten
plants in the river, adding to water pollution. Steamers and
motor launches pollute water by dumping oil and throwing
dumps into water. By drinking polluted water, people get
affected by various waterborne diseases. Cholera, dysentery, etc.,
break out in an epidemic form. The government should not allow
mills and factories to discharge chemical waste indiscriminately.

Public awareness should be raised. We should train people how

to keep water pure and clean. We should always remember that
pure water is essential for our life. Through proper waste
management, we can minimize the rate of water pollution.

water, an important element of the human environment is

essential for human and plant life. it is next to the air. water can
be polluted in many ways. first of all, farmers use chemical
fertilizers and insecticides in their fields to grow more food. The
rain and floods wash away some of the chemicals. They get
mixed with river water, canal water, and pond water.

Secondly, mills and factories pollute water by throwing waste

materials and unsold products into the rivers and canals.
Steamers, motor launches, and sailboats can pollute water by
throwing oil. food waste and human waste in the rivers and
canals also pollute water. Besides, the Kutcha drains running into
the rivers and canals cause water pollution. Clean water is safe
for use, and polluted water harms man.

water pollution can be prevented in many ways. First of all, we

should make the people aware of the fact that water is next air.
It is called life. So fertilizer, chemicals, and pesticides should not
be allowed to mix with river water, canal water, and pond water.
mills and factories should not throw waste materials and unsold
products into rivers and canals. steamers, motor launches, and
even sailboats should not throw oil, food, and human waste into
the rivers and canals. Unsanitary latrines n the countryside
should not be built on the banks of rivers and canals. Fine
awareness should be created in public and everywhere.
