O knihe

Scientific Study from the year 2014 in the subject Environmental Sciences, , language: English, abstract: In this work, the author classifies various human activities that cause pollution, discusses water pollution in detail according to their characteristics, and takes a general view of water pollution taking into effect the legal regime existing in India. In this context, an attempt has been made to assess the quality of water in the Jayakwadi reservoir. For the study of water quality important parameters such as pH, TDS, Temperature, EC, BOD and COD are considered. Water is one of the most indispensable resources and is the elixir of life. The value of surface water lies not only in its widespread occurrence and availability but also in its consistent good quality. Water pollution is a health hazard to people, and can be damaging to the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to manage the water quality of hydrological sources and predict the impact of contaminants on them. Water quality models can be used for a variety of different purposes, including analysing pollutant spills and predicting long-term water quality of surface water. In the recent years, environmental monitoring through regular assessment of water quality has become a crucial factor in the exploitation or conservation of aquatic resources. Control of water pollution has reached primary importance in development and a number of developing countries.
