1.0 Rationale :-
Pollution of water affects drinking water, lakes, river and oceans all over the
world. In most of the developing countries the major cause of death is
consumption of polluted water. Water pollution affects all living species and
also populations and the complete functioning of the ecosystem that lives in the
waters.

2.0 Aim/Benefits of the Micro-Project :-

• To get knowledge by water pollution.
• To remove pollutant by water.
• To reduce by water pollution.

3.0 Course Outcomes Achieved :-

• Develop public awareness about environment • Apply techniques to
reduce Environmental pollution
• Manage Social issues and Environment Eithes as lifelong learning .

4.0 Actual Procedure Followed :-

Water pollution project is based on Environmental Studies. Soo, basically we gathered all the
required information regards water pollution. In this project we mentioned what is water
pollution, Classification of water pollution, Problems & Harmful effects of water pollution,
Methods of disposing & Managing of water pollution, etc. After collecting all the required
information we started implementing our project in real.

 WATER POLLUTION
 Water Pollution is the contamination of water in water bodies such as rivers, oceans, lakes,
and swamps. This means that one or more substances have built up in water to the extent
of causing problems to people, animals and plants.

13
  Addition of certain substances to the water such as organic, inorganic, biological,
radiological heat which degrades the quality of water so that it becomes unfit for use .
Water pollution is not only confirmed to surface water , but it has also spread to ground
water, sea and ocean.

1) Water resources on Earth

About three fourths of our planet earth’s surface is covered by water.

However, very little of it is available for consumption. Most (about
97%) of the water on the earth is present in the seas and oceans. It is too
salty to be of any use for drinking, agriculture and industrial
purposes. The remaining 3% and fresh water. 75% of which is locked up
in the polar ice caps and in glaciers and quite deep under the
earth’s surface as underground water. The fresh water, which we can use,
comes to us from two sources.

• Surface Water
• Ground Water

• Surface Water
Rain and snow are good natural resources of fresh water. It is estimated that of all the
precipitation (rain water and snow) that falls on the earth, about one-third is absorbed by the plants
and another one-third seeps down into the soil and the remaining One- third runs off the surface

14
 into streams and rivers, this part of precipitation, which off to form streams , rivers and lakes is call
the surface water.

• Ground Water
The part of precipitation that seeps into the ground as a result of gravity and fills the pores
between soil particles and rocks under it is called ground Water.

2) Cause of water pollution

There are many reasons for water pollution.
• Sewage and Domestic Wastes

The sewage and waste water that is produced by each household is chemically treated
and released in to sea with fresh water. The sewage water carries harmful bacteria and
chemicals that can cause serious health problems. Pathogens are known as a common
water pollutant; The sewers of cities house several pathogens and thereby diseases.
Microorganisms in water are known to be causes of some very deadly diseases and
become the breeding grounds for other creatures that act like carriers. These carriers
inflict these diseases via various forms of contact onto an individual.

• Industrial waste

15
 Industries produce huge amount of waste which contains toxic chemicals and pollutants
which can cause air pollution and damage to us and our environment. They contain
pollutants such as lead, mercury, sulphur, asbestos, nitrates and many other harmful
chemicals. Many industries do not have proper waste management system and drain the
waste in the fresh water which goes into rivers, canals and later in to sea. The toxic
chemicals have the capability to change the colour of water, increase the amount of
minerals, also known as Eutrophication , change the temperature of water and pose
serious hazard to water organisms..

3) Effect of water pollution

Water pollution damages human health makes our living conditions precarious and
threatens life on the planet.

Effects on aquatic ecosystem

• Polluted water reduces Dissolved Oxygen (DO) content, thereby,

eliminates sensitive organisms like plankton, molluscs and fish etc.
• Biocides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals directly
eliminate sensitive aquatic organisms.
• Hot waters discharged from industries, when added to water bodies, lowers its
DO content.

Effects on human health

16
 • The polluted water usually contains pathogens like virus, bacteria, parasitic
protozoa and worms; therefore, it is a source of water borne diseases like jaundice,
cholera, typhoid, anabasis etc.
.
• Mercury compounds in waste water are converted by bacterial action into
extremely toxic methyl mercury, which can cause numbness of limbs, lips and tongue,
deafness, blurring of vision and mental derangement

4) Control of water pollution

[Link] of water pollution control should be in the hands of state or central

government.
2. Scientific techniques should be adopted for environmental control of
catchment areas of rivers, ponds or streams.
3. Industrial plants should be based on recycling operations as it helps prevent
disposal of wastes into natural waters but also extraction of products from waste.
4. Plants, trees and forests control pollution as they act as natural air conditioners.

17
5. Trees are capable of reducing sulphur dioxide and nitric oxide pollutants and hence
more trees should be planted.
6. No type of waste (treated, partially treated or untreated) should be discharged
into any natural water body. Industries should develop closed loop water supply
schemes and domestic sewage must be used for irrigation.
7. Qualified and experienced people must be consulted from time to time for effective
control of water pollution.
8. Public awareness must be initiated regarding adverse effects of water
pollution using the media.

7.0 Conclusion :-
Water pollution is one of the major environmental pollution, which
destroys the environment, animals and our daily comfortable life. So we
must be aware about water pollution as we are all the reason behind
it.
As a student we should understand this world wide problem of water
pollution and think about its remedy . And we should convince others
about this.

18
8.0 Skills Developed :-
• Understand about the policies established for water pollution .
• Shows your eco-friendly credentials

9.0 Applications of this Micro-Project :-

This micro-project finds its application in:
• Be careful about what you throw down your sink.
• Use environmentally household products, such as washing powder,
household cleaning agents and toiletries.
• Take great care not to overuse pesticides and fertilisers.
• Don’t throw garbage into rivers, lakes or oceans
