■Water pollution in villages
●Water Pollution
Due to this, the use of chemical fertilizers, weedicides and pesticides etc. has also increased rapidly for maximum yield, which gives rise to dangerous water pollution in rural areas. Apart from this, garbage in the garbage, sewage, plastics and polythene and residual materials of various industries in rivers and other natural water bodies generate huge amounts of water pollution. Water pollution does not only affect the organisms that live within the water, but it also affects the Village public health.
Substances or things that destroy the natural properties of water, and become harmful to the health of organisms, are called water pollutants. These water pollutants are generated by agriculture, industry and other human activities. Water is most polluted due to industrial residuals. Industries like sugar, alcohol, fertilizers, oil refineries, textiles, paper and pulp, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dairy products, thermal power plants, leather, organic and inorganic chemicals, cement, rubber and plastics, food processing etc. are the main factors of water pollution.
Apart from this, excreta, plastic and polyethylene waste, heavy metals etc. are also major water pollutants. Humans exploit water from underground sources for their consumption and agricultural purposes. Till now the ground water sources were considered pure but in recent years the presence of organic chemicals, heavy metals and other pollutants has been detected in the ground water, which is evident that pollution has made its home there too. In cities, there is a network of sewer lines with the help of which excreta is discharged into rivers etc. Many times these sewers leak into them, due to which the excreta continues to percolate into underground water bodies. In this way, industrial residues etc. also reach the underground water bodies through soil containers.
Measures to protect villages from water pollution
Although the problem of pollution is more in the cities, but our villages have also been hit by it. If some precautions are taken in the rural areas in due course of time, then certainly rural life can be saved from the danger of pollution. The following precautions should be taken for this:
▪Plastic and polythene waste pollutes the soil. Therefore, they should be used sparingly.
▪Natural watersheds should avoid contamination. Neither the dead bodies should be shed in the rivers around the village, nor should animals be bathed in them.
▪Household waste, excreta etc. should not be dumped directly into the river, pond etc.
▪Garbage should not be put in wells. The wells should be covered as much as possible and add potassium permeation or bleaching powder to the wells at least once a month.
▪One should not defecate in the open outside the village, but should use toilets. Nowadays grants are also given by the government for the construction of toilets.
▪Pesticides, weedicides and chemical fertilizers should be balanced use. Some other alternative means, such as organic manure and natural pesticides made from neem and Dhatura, etc. can be used instead.
▪Always use pure, clean and non-polluting drinking water only. Some impurities in drinking water can also be removed by methods of disposal, filtering etc.
▪By taking appropriate precautions, the day-to-day problem of pollution can be avoided, as well as protecting rural public health. In this context, to educate the villagers, it is the need of the hour today to develop the thinking of public awareness, public awareness, public cooperation and public participation.
It should be tried to minimize the use of chemical substances in the fields. Green compost manure can be used instead. The natural source is our own. Therefore, we also have the responsibility of protecting and preserving them. Only by fulfilling our obligations can we avoid the danger of water pollution.
