4.3 Types of Water Pollution 4.3.1 Surface Water Pollution

Оглавление

Surface water, such as rivers, streams, and lakes are directly consumed in rural areas. As we know, the surface water is a huge resource of drinking water for rural and urban areas. Mainly, anthropogenic sources lead to the pollution in surface water. However, industrial contaminants like heavy metals are directly released into surface water. The chemical companies which are situated in the bank of rivers, lakes and streams are a major cause of heavy metal and chemical pollution of surface water. The other reason for surface water pollution is discharge of municipal waste in water. Additionally, soil erosion is another cause of generating heavy metal contamination in surface water bodies.
