Instead of trapping precipitation‚ which then percolates to groundwater systems‚ deforested areas become sources of surface water runoff‚ which moves much faster than subsurface flows.That quicker transport of

Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes‚ rivers‚ oceans‚ lagoons‚ and groundwater. Chemicals and pathogens are the most damaging contaminates leading to pollution. Water pollution can also effect marine life by the animals ingesting the newly found chemicals and it pollutes our water so that we can’t use it later. When you pollute

Water pollution is a serious matter‚ and can be defined as a problem. Poor water quality is just another way of saying water pollution. Water pollution is when one or more substances build up in water to such an extent‚ that several problems for animals and humans develop. Rivers‚ lakes‚ oceans‚ and other inland waters are able to naturally clean up certain amounts of the pollution by dispersing them harmlessly. Water pollution depends on the quantities: how much of the polluting substance is released

BIOLOGICAL IMPURITIES: Bacteria‚ Virus‚ and Parasites -- Years ago‚ waterborne diseases accounted for millions of deaths. Even today in underdeveloped countries‚ an estimated 25‚000 people will die daily from waterborne disease. Effects of waterborne microorganisms can be immediate and devastating. Therefore‚ microorganisms are the first and most important consideration in making water acceptable for human consumption. Generally speaking‚ modern municipal supplies are relatively free from harmful

The cities receive ample amount of rainfall but it is short spell of high intensity. Because of the short duration most of the rain falling on surface seeps through quickly leaving very little recharge for groundwater. Capturing the run off is one of the solutions been incorporated in some cities. Technological determinism is a reductionist doctrine

Because of such short duration of heavy rain‚ most of the rain falling on the surface tends to flow away rapidly leaving very little for recharge of groundwater aquifers. Most of the traditional water harvesting systems in cities have been neglected and fallen into disuse‚ worsening the urban water scenario. Most of the Air Force Stations are situated in cities/towns which have acute water shortages. The
