An introduction to Water Pollution. • Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as rivers, lakes, oceans and groundwater. • This occurs when pollutants are discharged directly or indirectly into water bodies, without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. • Humans are the cause of most of the pollution in our ...
Ganga Pollution Case: A Case Study
The water in the upper stream is used in the agriculture process by the respective states. So, if the water is released on a regular basis it will also help to improve the quality of the water and reduce the pollution level in the water. Conclusion. Ganga is considered a pious river in the religious scriptures.
Human Health Risks due to Exposure to Water Pollution: A Review
Water resources are crucial in developing any area as they serve as a major source of potable, agricultural, and industrial water. Water contamination, caused by natural and anthropogenic activities, poses a significant threat to public health globally. This review synthesizes data from various studies published in national and international journals, as well as reports from governmental and ...
Frontiers
Different from the existing literature review, this paper mainly studies the impact of water pollution on human health according to the heterogeneity of diseases. We focuses on diarrhea, skin diseases, cancer, child health, etc., and sorts out the main effects of water pollution on human health ( Table 1 ). TABLE 1.
Case Study 3: Water Contamination
This case study is an examination of the chemical and sensory impacts of a variety of environmental issues including sand mining, leaking underground gasoline storage tanks (LUSTs), and a railroad. Wedron is a small, unincorporated town of approximately 100 residents in north central Illinois. A large sand mine has been in operation on the ...
Challenges to Sustainable Safe Drinking Water: A Case Study of Water
Water from such sources is often consumed without any form of treatment [12,19,21]. However, these alternative sources of drinking water are often vulnerable to point and non-point sources of pollution and are contaminated frequently by fecal matter [5,19,25]. A report by the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research clearly ...
Environment for Kids: Water Pollution
Water pollution is when waste, chemicals, or other particles cause a body of water (i.e. rivers, oceans, lakes) to become harmful to the fish and animals that need the water to survive. Water pollution can disrupt and negatively impact nature's water cycle as well. Natural Causes of Water Pollution. Sometimes water pollution can occur through ...

Water pollution is happening behind all industrial activities. In that, textile industries are the biggest polluters on the planet. Studies say that one-fifth of the world's industrial water pollution comes from textile mills. For example, in China, 25% of water pollution happens through textile dyeing and treatments.
A Current Review of Water Pollutants in American Continent: Trends and
Based on this, there is a need to establish scientific studies in a human population and evaluate the impact of water pollution on its health. Some studies have been performed (see Table 3) to correlate the exposure of contaminants in people's life and if possible, establish the impact that water sources and body contamination have.
Water Pollution & its Control
Water pollution drastically affects aquatic life. It affects their metabolism, and behaviour, and causes illness and eventual death. Dioxin is a chemical that causes a lot of problems from reproduction to uncontrolled cell growth or cancer. This chemical is bioaccumulated in fish, chicken and meat.

Predicting Coastal Water Quality with Machine Learning, A Case Study of
Coastal ecosystems are facing critical water quality deterioration, while the most convenient passage to the South China Sea, Beibu Gulf, has been under considerable pressure to its ecological environment due to rapid development and urbanization. In this study, we characterized the spatiotemporal change in the water quality in Beibu Gulf and proposed a machine learning approach to predict the ...
Assessment of Environmental Severity Around the Mining ...
Mining activities have always been responsible for altering the characteristics of the natural environment and leading to an imbalance in the ecosystem around the mining regions. The major negative environmental consequences of mining are air pollution, water pollution, soil degradation, loss of forest vegetation, health problems with human habitats, impact on wildlife, changes in regional ...
