such as industry, traffic, and resource development. They include solid wastes, semi-solid wastes, and liquid and gaseous wastes in vessels that are not permitted to discharge into the environment”. (inhui Li, 2003). This research will explore generally about industrial water pollution and more specifically
tributaries are the major contributors of water to more than half of the India for agricultural purposes. India is a country whose economy is based on agriculture and thus, the river has proved to be of much significance to the country. It flows from 11 states and is the and is the chief source of waters there which is used for day to day life for domestic purposes as well as for industrial purposes in the northern part of the country. It satisfies the requirement of water for 43% of the total population (500
8/20/18 Ocean Pollution Research Paper Ocean pollution is a major environmental disaster, that’s harming our environment and every living thing on Earth. Mankind does not even realize they are the major cause of it, even though there are many other factors that are apart of it. So many species in the ocean are becoming extinct because of things humans do every day. Oceans keep the world and us alive the least people can do is take every precaution possible to keep the oceans clean. Water is the main
1: Indian water scenario: With a rapidly expanding economy many changes are taking place in India today. Some of these changes will have substantial implications on India’s water future. Land use, cropping and water use patterns are changing, partly as responses to changing demographics and consumption patterns, and partly as responses to changing investment scenarios and economic growth. This report attempts to capture the trends of key drivers of water demand in the recent past, and assess their
to investigate the ability of duckweed (Lemna minor) to remove nitrate pollution from water and thus act as an organic and inexpensive way of combating eutrophication in water sources. Secondly, the relationship between nitrate concentration and rate of removal of nitrates by duckweed shall also be investigated. The duckweed is expected to absorb the nitrates as it grows and therefore lower the levels of nitrates in the water. In addition to this, the higher the concentration of nitrates, the faster
Water pollution is a serious problem that we have to deal with everyday in our lives. Water pollution can affect the lives of many as we as humans depend on water to live. Water Pollution: What is it and where is it taking place? Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, dams etc. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_pollution). It is also any chemical, physical or biological change in the quality of water that has a harmful effect on any living thing
that soil and underground water are polluted by leachate. Leachate is the liquid formed during decomposition of disposed waste material and what happens is that it first penetrates through the soil and then it ends seeping into the different soil layers and then mixes with groundwater and ends up polluting it. So now we are left with contaminated groundwater. The water will therefore not be able to be used by humans but then the problem is that humans do not that the water is contaminated. That is
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 clean. Even as it rains
The study is based on secondary data collected from official Government websites, research papers published in various Journals and annual audited reports of HPCL. The Annual Reports of HPCL for the year 2015-16 and 2016-17 are analysed in detail to examine its disclosure practices regarding the environmental issues. ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION
Nanotechnology has a wider scope of applications; one of the important applications is the use of nanotechnology in environmental aspects. Cleaning up of the contaminated water from the different water bodies is of primary concern. • Nanotechnology is responsible for ensuring impure potable water by means of application of cost effective water treatment and purification systems. Nano filtration is one of the effective and efficient means of filtration which ensures the filtration of harmful inorganic impurities
