EFFECT OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND FERTILIZERS ON WATER QUALITY

Toxic chemicals and other harmful compounds need to be prevented from moving into food chains and other systems of biodiversity. Antibodies, personal care products and other toxic pollutants in water bodies cannot be ignored. Different anthropogenic sources that are involved in water pollution must be identified and steps taken to safeguard water resources from pollution. Industrial effluents should be treated property before they are disposed-off into different water bodies. Different remediation methods that are eco-friendly cost effective and sustainable in the long run need to be explored. Moreover, biological wastewater treatment system, a low cost and environmentally sustainable technology, can alternatively be used to mitigate the problem of water pollution. Bioremediation is another process that is economically viable and eco-friendly solution to environmental problems in which microorganisms like bacteria, yeast and algae are exposed for remediation of harmful contaminants. To conclude, extensive research for alternative technologies, continuous monitoring of water bodies and their pollution level and regulations are immediately needed to control water pollution.
