 WHAT IS WATER POLLUTION??

Water pollution is any change in water quality that

has a negative effect on living organisms and those
who need to utilize the water supply.
 CONDITION OF THE RIVERS IN
BANGLADESH

• dried up beels
• arsenic concentration more than 0.05 ppm
• water table below suction limit (>8 meter)
• Soil salinity in coastal area increased beyond
crop tolerance level (> 4 mmohs/cm or 4
dS/m)
 CAUSES FOR THE CONDITION OF
RIVER IN BANGLADESH
• waste water
• atmospheric deposition
• plastics
• oil spills
• urbanization
• industrialization
• indiscriminate use of agro-chemicals
PADMA RIVER
PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

• PH- 6.2-7.5
• cloride- 65-85.6 mg/l
• alkalinity- 57.7-110 mg/l
• free carbon diooxide- 2.3-13.4 mg/l
• BOD- 3.4-7.2 mg/l
• dissolved solids- 35.5-179.7 m/l
• permanent hardness- 2.3-4.2
 MEGHNA RIVER
PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

• PH- 6.85-7.48
• temperature- 24.45-25.15 degree
celcius
• BOD- 5.3
• dissolved solids- 43.65-43.68 mg/l
• turbidity-14.97-11.61
 BURIGANGA RIVER
PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PROPERTIES

• PH- 7.2-7.3
• TCU- 656-732
• turbidity-13.7-14
• BOD- 92 mg/l
• chloride - 59-61mg/l
• alkalinity- 457-462 mg/l as caco3
• iron- 0.61-0.63
 EFFECTS OF SURFACE WATER
POLLUTION

• Threat to public health

• Ecosystems
• Environment
• Decrease of crop yield
• Threat to animals living in(on) the water
• Challenging environment for fisheries
• Scarcity of fresh water
 METHODS FOR CONTROLLING WATER
POLLUTION
• Proper installation of ETP’S
• Spreading awareness
• Implementing “laws for river
protection”
• Political commitment
• Safe discharge of chemicals
• Regular survey of the water body
• Compulsory use of ETP’S in industries
• Raising public awareness
• Ocean use license
• Total pollutant limit
• Proper management of agro chemicals
• Fixing the core of the flow of water to
the river
