 Growing demands of human needs have been steadily affecting the quality of river 

water. Volume of water has been decreasing as more and more water is being used.
 Industrial wastes and sewage are dumped into water bodies, thus polluting them 
further.
 Various action plans like the Ganga Action Plan (GAP)for cleaning the polluted water 
bodies have failed to achieve the desired results.

Sewage And Waste Water:?Sewage, garbage and liquid waste of households, agricultural lands?and factories are discharged into lakes and rivers. These wastes contain harmful chemicals and toxins which make the water poisonous for aquatic animals and plants.

Dumping:?Dumping of solid wastes and litters in water bodies causes huge problems. Litters include glass, plastic, aluminum, styrofoam etc. Different things take different amount of time to degrade in water. They affect aquatic plants and animals.

Industrial Waste:?Industrial waste contains pollutants like asbestos, lead, mercury and petrochemicals which are extremely harmful to both people and environment. Industrial waste is discharged into lakes and rivers by using fresh water making the water contaminated.

Oil Pollution:?Sea water gets polluted due to oil spilled from ships and tankers while traveling. The spilled oil does not dissolve in water and forms a thick sludge polluting the water.

Acid Rain:?Acid rain is pollution of water caused by air pollution. When the acidic particles caused by air pollution in the atmosphere mix with water vapor, it results in acid rain.

Global Warming:?Due to global warming, there is an increase in water temperature. This increase in temperature results in death of aquatic plants and animals. This also results in bleaching of coral reefs in water.
