Water Pollution Management

Agriculture Inorganic fertiliser and pesticides. Sedimentation from cleared lands Eutrophication

Sewage Human waste Soaps and detergents Cholera

Sediment Soil erosion from deforestation Clogs up dams, waterways and pipes.

Organic Compounds Oil from spills PCBs in waste DDT in pesticides

Inorganic waste open pit mines leach heavy metals Tailings pond leaching or burst

Factories Thermal waste water affect DO Dyes and inorganic compounds

Agriculture 1. Use organic fertilisers 2. Tax fertiliser use 2. Plant hedgerows or maintain cover crops. 3. Aerate water body

Sewage 2. Build improved infrastructure 2. Use sewage for biogas or irrigation 2. UV water treatment facilities 3. Dredge water bed

Sediment 1. Teach rural communities about improved farming practices 2. Agroforestry practices 2. Laws against plantations 2. Afforestation

Organic compounds 1. Promote electric vehicles 1. Awareness campaigns about oil spills 2. Train employees how to deal with crisis situations 3. Dispersants 3. Boom recovery

Inorganic Waste 1. Promote the use of recycled materials 2. Tailing pond and mining regulation and monitoring. 3. Caustic soda and lime to balance pH 3. Dredging

Factories 1. Enact environmental protection laws 2. Regulation and monitoring with harsh penalties. 3. Bioremediation 3. Mud pumping
