fresh water is also becoming a scarcity. The limited availability of fresh water and its unequal distribution make water pollution a matter of great concern. Water pollution is generally localized and confined‚ making it more severe. The pollutants undergo many reactions and can become hazardous. 70 % of India’s fresh water is polluted‚ including several high altitude lakes. While water pollution is easier to study and manage‚ its control is highly complex and very costly. Water pollution
