Abstract

Human health is jeopardised by the widespread problem of water contamination. Polluted drinking water caused more deaths per year than all other types of violence combined. Human groundwater resources, on the other hand, are limited, with just a fraction of the world's fresh water available to humans. The difficulties will only become worse if nothing is done by 2050 when the international stream requirement is likely to be one-third above average than it is now. Water contamination is the leading cause of water-borne diseases across the world, particularly in underdeveloped countries. Because of its long-term impacts, contaminated water has an impact on both current and future generations. In India, about 60% of the population does not have access to safe drinking water. Genetic disorders, malignancies, and illnesses of the skin, lungs, kidneys, and liver are much more common in India than everywhere else. Ground usage and socioeconomic structure are both influenced by river drainage. Staple crops, urbanisation, and industrialisation in the economic liberal region have all increased their need for river water in recent years. Pollution and health issues have long been linked.
