Q5
Explain with examples, how the industries are responsible for polluting water resources in India.
Solution
Water contamination results from the dumping of industrial waste into waterways. Ordinary domestic sewage can be treated by municipal facilities, but industries that produce waste water containing high concentrations of conventional pollutants (e.g., oil and grease),
This is due to the fact that the industries in these two cities do not treat their waste water. The Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad is another heavily polluted river.
toxic pollutants (e.g., heavy metals, volatile organic compounds), or other non-conventional pollutants (e.g., ammonia) are a major polluter of water resources. When these substances enter water resources from industries, they degrade the water's quality and render it unsafe for human consumption. As a result, the amount of exploitable water resources is limited. The majority of Indian enterprises do not adhere to the rules and allow waste water to enter rivers without being treated. The Yamuna River, for example, is the most polluted river in India.
