Top Research Papers on Water Pollution

Water pollution is a major problem in the global environment. This necessitates continuing assessment and review of water resource policy at all levels. The main objectives of this article are to investigate major sources of water pollution, water resource policies and challenges to improve water quality in Malaysia. The findings indicate that the major problem associated with water pollution is that human heart and kidneys can be adversely affected if polluted water is consumed regularly. Other health problems associated with polluted water are poor blood circulation, skin lesions, vomiting, ...

• Pollution: Degradation of water quality, how far it departs from the norm (standard), its effects on public health or its ecological impacts. • Pollutant: Biological, physical or chemical substance that in identifiable excess is known to be harmful. Exp.: Excessive amounts of heavy metals, certain radioactive isotopes, fecal coliform bacteria, phosphorous, nitrogen, sodium, certain pathogenic bacteria and viruses.

Water is an essential part of every living thing on this plant. It is essential in such a way that every biotic function relies on it. Water is used in agriculture, consumption and fishery. For plants, it is necessary for photosynthesis, their food-making process, while for human and animals; it is necessary for digestion, blood circulation, temperature modulation and many others. It is therefore impossible for life to continue without it. Though the world is composed entirely of water, almost three-fourths of earth, only a small fraction of the entirety of it is available for consumption. Acc...

Very appropriate, therefore, are the words which Professor Crew has caused to be carved at the entrance of this institute, which I now formally declare to be opened: " To the advancement of science anid to the service of manikind this btuilding is dledicated."

Water is used in agriculture for irrigation as well as for drinking water for man and beast. The pollution of water with salts, plant nutrients, organic material, pathogens and parasites, as well as toxic components, decreases its value for agricultural purposes. The rapid development of and the population growth in South Africa will increase water pollution, and agriculture will thus be influenced. Agriculture will also have to intensify in the future to meet the expected increased demand for food; the role of agriculture as a water polluter will thus also increase. South African agriculturis...

AT the commencement of the Summer vacation of 1895, I had occasion to visit I-Iawkhurst in Kent. I found there, as elsewhere, an opinion that for the four or five weeks of the hop-picking, the pickers have a delightful and most healthful holiday; but, watching with some care, I had iio little occasion to doubt this, and I decided to visit for fuller observation more central districts of the industry. I did not get far, for I found a perfection of wretchedness that held me close for such poor tinkering of relief as here and there I could effect; and so, anear and uncovered, I looked upon this s...

From personal experience the writer came to a realization of some of the difficulties in obtaining satisfactory sources of water supply for many of the smaller and some of the larger cities and towns in the state. There are many settlements in Ohio which have grown into populous villages and cities by reason of local conditions which have affected their prosperity, and when they have reached the size and dignity of a large village, or a small city, and sought to obtain the usual sanitary conveniences now considered as essentials of populated centers, have found that there was no convenient sou...

Waveney District Council also has a responsibility for dealing with certain types of water pollution.

A number of residential properties and businesses are not served by a piped mains water supply. Such properties are therefore served by works or boreholes. There are over 650 such supplies in Broadland.

Water pollution regulations and the types and sources of water pollution common to a ``typical'' cement plant are discussed. With the exception of the problem of totally dissolved solids in ``process'' water, solutions to most of the other water pollution problems common to a cement plant have been known. A solution to the problem of totally dissolved solids in ``process'' water is offered in this paper.

A parameter of a water body e.g. acidity, turbidity or temperature is continuously monitored by sensors to provide an output signal which actuates a H2O sampler when the signal falls outside a certain range.

Water pollution risk is concerned with assessing the impact of existing and future hazards that are associated with the beneficial uses of water. The focus of this article is on risks to human health due to exposure to water pollution. Some important statistical issues involved in the management of risk are discussed based on two pollution types: persistent toxic substances and microbiological contamination. Keywords: human health; ecosystem health; toxic substances; microbiological contamination; pollution indicators; environmental standards and regulations

This book deals with the theoretical and applied approaches used to control pollution in developing countries and is the first of its kind in the Indian context. It examines the feasibility of using economic instruments for combating water pollution. The empirical findings of the book can serve as an invaluable guide for environmental policy-makers.
