Status of water pollution in relation to industrialization in Rajasthan

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>India is a large and densely populated country; its economy is largely agricultural. Making the best use of the country’s manpower has always posed a challenge. Industrialization could become a dominant component of the economy and displace agriculture. Traditional livelihoods of occupational groups are threatened by the practice of disposing untreated industrial waste into rivers and bodies of water. These uncontrolled disposals impact local natural resources with negative long-term effects. Industrialization is the development of intellectual and financial trade that changes a predominantly rustic culture into a modern one. Many industrial units discharge wastewater locally without treatment. Many industries directly discharged their waste into lakes, rivers and ocean. Water contamination impacts the environment. Pesticides, chemical, waste oil and heavy metals are regularly transported into their waters. Humans and other living organisms can accumulate heavy metals from industrial discharges in their tissues. Industrial waste may be reactive, corrosive, flammable, or toxic. When untreated sewage is emptied into rivers, it causes diseases like typhoid, dysentery and cholera. Natural elements and plant supplements like nitrate and phosphates stimulate growth of algae on the water surface. The algae reduce the oxygen in the water and cause eutrophication. It is harmful to the water ecosystem. In Rajasthan proper, there are a number of sites bordering rivers and lakes where the pace of industrialization has proceeded far beyond the ability of regulators to establish and enforce meaningful limits on the amount of point source pollution permitted to the various industrial complexes, which include cement, chemical, fertilizer, textile, mining, quarrying, dyeing and printing facilities. The scale of the problem is obvious to the casual observer, but actual documentation of the total impact remains to be done.</jats:p>

Gross Domestic Regional Product, Population and Environmental Quality: Analysis of 33 Provinces in Indonesia

“…The absence of absorption land causes river water to be exposed to pollution runoff from agricultural land (Juma et al, 2014). Household and industrial waste that is dumped directly into rivers is another cause of declining water quality (Rajput et al, 2017). The evidence from Kido et al (2009) showed lack of drainage system in developing countries includes Indonesia causes industrial, agricultural and domestics water is directly discarded into rivers.…”

“…The population growth and economic growth also drive the growth of waste. A study showed that untreated waste that directly dropped into river or waterway cause water pollution (Rajput, Pandey, Bhadauria, & India, 2017). In summary, it can be concluded that environmental quality is affected by economic growth and population (POP).…”

Synthesis of Graphene Oxide Enhanced Agar Composites: A Biocompatible Photo-catalyst for Degradation of Organic Dyes

“…Replacement of such materials with biodegradable or biocompatible ones is the most attractive yet simple strategy and has received much attention in the last few years. [9][10][11] Graphene oxide (GO), a derivative of graphene, is in use for about one and a half centuries. It is a two dimensional (2-D) covalently bonded and oxygen-rich carbon skeletal.…”
