DECLINE OF INDIA’S LIFELINE

HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDWater and air pollution in U.S. urban areas

continued to increase well into the 20th century.

Chicago built the first major sewage system in the United States to treat wastewater.

The Cuyahoga river in Cleveland,Ohio,became so polluted that water erupted into flames first fire occurred in 1936, when a spark from a blowtorch ignited floating debris and oils.

INITIATIVES AGAINST WATER POLLUTION A three day national conference on issues for

optimal use of water resources called “Jal Manthan” was held at New Delhi from 20 to November 22, 2014.

 Special teams set up by the Ministry of Water Resources, River Development and Ganga Rejuvenation have started submitting their reports.

Water (prevention and control of pollution) Act, 1974

MY OWN OPINION

People should be made aware about the hazardous effects of water pollution.

Strict rules should be implement by government.

Biodegradable waste should be decomposed properly.

Their should be separate reservoirs for sewage and industrial waste dumping.
