Abstract

Water is life without pollution, but death when it is polluted. Water pollution is very important problem of 21st century. More than 70% of the fresh water in liquid form of our country is converted into being unfit for consumption. Not only India, but other countries are also suffering from the same problem. Water is a natural resource which is considered as a superb solvent and a critical component that make the processes of life possible. It is used in many ways from drinking to industrial and agricultural purposes. Due to water pollution pure water is becoming less scare day by day. The objective of this study is to conduct a literature review of factors affecting water pollution. Suitability of water for various uses depends on biological and physico-chemical properties of water ( pH, alkalinity, TDS, DO, BOD, salinity, turbidity, heavy metals, anions measurements etc.), which are used to quantify the quality of water. The biggest cause of water pollution is industrialization and increase in population. By drinking polluted water people becoming more and more ill. Water is said to be polluted when it contains micro-organisms of human or animal origin, poisonous chemical substances, industrial or domestic sewage, agricultural chemicals, organic and inorganic substances etc.
