A Review on Reasons Responsible for Water Pollution

Abstract

Water contamination has now become a global concern, and ongoing water resource policy assessment is required to resolve this crisis. Due to water contamination, deaths and illnesses are caused worldwide and over 14000 people die each day due to water pollution. Water contamination challenges are affecting both established and also emerging countries. Many influences such as precipitation, temperature, soil composition, landscape, geology, flow conditions, ground water and human activities impact water quality. Point sources for factories and municipalities constitute the biggest danger to the quality of water. Water quality is also affected by practises such as logging, urban development and agriculture.Nutrients, sediments, and harmful pollutants are also found in non-point source contamination. Present research is undertaken to determine the variables that are responsible for the effects of water contamination. Water contamination in the 21st century is a very serious issue. Pure water is getting less with each day due to water contamination. It has been proposed that there should be separate industrial waste treatment plants for any sector in order to handle industrial waste and also to control the municipal run-off of waste water.
