River Pollution

River pollution has become a matter of great concern all over the globe in recent times. Rivers are of great use to us. But it is a matter of regret that our rivers are on the verge of extinction. The greedy land grabbers build up buildings along the bank of rivers which create hindrances in the normal flow of water. However, the water of river is polluted in many ways. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides used in the fields are washed away by rain and flood water to the water of river. Mills and factories use many poisonous chemicals. They throw their used and unsold products into the river water and pollute it. All steamers, launches and engine boats pollute water by throwing oil, food waste and human waste into the rivers. The sewerage lines let into the river also pollute water by carrying wastes into the river water especially In the urban areas. At present, nuclear tests and dumping of nuclear wastes are causing serious river water pollution. We must realize the value of river and this is our duty to keep it fit for our living.
