FOURTEENTH NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ENVIRONMENT (NSE-14)

摘要

Sustainable water resource management balances the needs for protection of the environment and public health, while not compromising the ability of future generations to procure water to meet their basic needs. It also creates a shift from the traditional view of water as a commodity, managed solely for the convenience of humans to a more balanced effort to maintain the water needs of the entire ecosystem of which humans are a part. Water pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems we face today. The genesis of water pollution is the effluents from urban sources and industrial discharges. Also, the solid effluents getting leached out by rain water cause pollution of water bodies. Additionally, the air water exchange of pollutants adds to the pollution load of water resources. Therefore, the problem has to be addressed in proper prospective. Administrative and local bodies must work together to address the environmental pollution of water due to agricultural modernisation and industrialization within an appropriate regulatory and institutional frame-work.
