researchers conducted case studies to determine if the water in provinces, lakes, and rivers are being polluted. Introduction In various areas across the world, bodies of water are being polluted. Man-made pollution from industrial plants and illegal dumping of chemicals and other contaminates are the primary causes. In areas such as Taihu Basin, Lake Taihu, Liaohe and Plain Pearl River China, researchers have conducted a study to determine
market activity borne by a third party, that is, by someone other than the immediate producer or consumer (Arnold, 2013). A negative externality is an economic activity that imposes a negative effect on an unrelated third party. For example, water pollution by industries that add effluent, which harms plants, animals, and humans. Government intervention may be needed to move the mix of output closer to society’s optimal point. Whenever externalities are present, the preference expressed in the marketplace
INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Water pollution is a large set of undesirable effects upon water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans and ground water that caused by human activities. This matter requires urgent attention, since water is scarce and such an important resource needs detailed scientific research all over the world in order to sustain and protect the water resource from pollution and for its wise utilization. However, no water in nature is absolutely
populations have reduced, and even extinct in areas due to pollution and urbanization. Therefore, reintroduction and conservation efforts have been established to help stabilize the otter populations (NatureServe 2008). Habitat These otters are found where there is permanent food supply and water access. They thrive in any water habitat, for example; ponds, marshes, rivers, streams, lakes, and estuary ecosystems. They are also commonly known as “river otters”, but are equally located on both land and in

Abstract: The case study was conducted with the aim of defining the range of groundwater pollution produced by tannery industries and disposal of sewage waste in kodavanar watershed basin region located in dindigul district, which is a township of having small and large scale tannery industries around the number of 68 industries. The groundwater is frequently getting polluted by the untreated effluents containing various pollutants such as chromium, nitrates, sulphate, hardness, arsenic, fluorides
Introduction "Save water save life" The Indian subcontinent has a great diversity of geological, topographical and climatic conditions. The general climate is tropical and subtropical barring some of the northern most areas. The Western Ghats and north eastern part of the country receive the maximum rainfall in a year. The diurnal and seasonal temperature is also variable. [Extremes of hot and cold seasons are experienced in northern
2007). Water bodies like lakes readily acquire pollutants because they are complex and a fragile ecosystem and do not possess self-cleaning ability (Abida et al., 2008). Industrial activities, urban and agricultural activities are major sources of pollution of lakes (Iscen et al., 2008). Contamination of water with microorganisms and harmful pollutants has created health problems, such water quality with respect to human health and ecological interrelationship is an aspect of limnology (Krishna et al
five-page report. This will be separated into 3 sections; discussion, analysis and conclusion in reference to the different aspects of the questions imposed, which include; what is water? , when do we need it? , and why is it important? In the discussion part of this paper I will introduce the category by giving a brief explanation of what water is and the various purposes it serves in our day-to-day lives. In the analysis part of this paper one two topics will be chosen from the questions and
