Eutrophication is a process by which a water body slowly becomes rich in plant nutrients such as nitrates and phosphates due to soil erosion and run off from the surrounding land.

Increasing human population, intensive agriculture and rapid industrial growth have led to an increasing release of domestic waste, agricultural residues, industrial wastes and land run-off into various water bodies.

• Dissolved oxygen is consumed in eutrophication process.

• More and more organic matter enters a water body, more is the deoxygenation of the water body and larger is the production of nutrients. These nutrients fertilize an anourmous growth of algae and other large water plants.

Eutrophication of a water body results due to the release of large amount of nutrients by the action of aerobic bacteria on organic wastes entering a water body naturally or by human activity.

The volume of gray water use has been estimated by calculating the amount of water required to dilute pollutants to the point that the water quality is acceptable and consistent

• The water bearing layers of soil and rocks are called aquifers... A large amount of water is discharged back after domestic and industrial usage. This is contaminated with

• The major point sources of pollution to freshwaters originate from the collection and discharge of domestic waste waters, industrial wastes or certain agricultural activities....

The sewage contains garbage, soaps, detergents, waste food and human excreta and is the single largest sources of water pollution.. Pathogenic microogranisms like bacteria,

• Various industries, nuclear power plants and thermal plants require water for cooling and the resultant hot water is often discharged into rivers or lakes.. • Higher

The pH is an important variable in water quality assessment as it influences many biological and chemical processes within a water body and all processes associated with water

 Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) is highly soluble in water and atmospheric CO 2 is absorbed at the air-water interface.  CO 2 is produced within water bodies by the respiration of

Boron..  Cyanides occur in waters in ionic form or as weakly dissociated hydrocyanic acid. In addition, they may occur as complex compounds with metals.  The toxicity of
