We receive potable water from the canals‚ rivers‚ and ponds ; groundwater is also potable. Now‚ the question is that how is water polluted? Some ways of water pollution: Some factories dispose their chemical wastes into the

On the other hand‚ 50 percent of the world relies solely on groundwater to meet basic daily needs and around 748 million people worldwide have poor access to clean drinking water [UNESCO‚ 2015]. Thus‚ Long-term climate change and population growth will further stress water resources in many regions‚ and good adaptation

causing a spill or overflow. Sanitary sewers are typically much smaller than combined sewers‚ and they are not designed to transport storm water. Backups of raw sewage can occur if excessive infiltration/inflow (dilution by storm water and/or groundwater) is allowed into a sanitary sewer system. Communities that have urbanized in the mid-20th century or later generally have built separate systems for sewage (sanitary sewers) and storm water‚ because precipitation causes widely varying flows‚ reducing

Water Reclamation and Recycling As our population continues to grow‚ many begin to raise questions about how (or even if it’s possible) to provide enough water to support this rapidly growing population. With our population recently reaching 7 Billion‚ it seems that finding the answer to this has become such an imperative as to be compared to our global energy crisis. As more and more research is conducted‚ one viable answer seems to keep resurfacing‚ water reclamation. While many proponents

What is a Wetland ? Wetlands are habitats that fall somewhere on the environmental spectrum between land and water. Since wetlands lie at the interface of terrestrial and aquatic habitats‚ they possess a unique mixture of species‚ conditions‚ and interactions. As a result‚ wetlands are among our planet’s most diverse and varied habitats. Wetlands are defined by the soils‚ hydrology‚ and species that occur within them. Wetland soils‚ also known as hydric soils‚ are shaped by water. These soils

are purposely added to water to try to “destroy plants‚ insect larvae‚ or undesired fishes (pg. 40).” She states that some pollutants can travel through the soil and into groundwater‚ which she describes as one of the most disturbing water pollutants as all water on Earth was once groundwater. She states that pollution of groundwater is essentially pollution of the entire Earth. In the fifth chapter‚ Carson talks about how chemicals affect soil. The pesticides seep into the soil‚ then travel into plants
