AVE OUR RIVERS
Rivers provide some of our most beautiful and most endangered natural habitats. Whether you enjoy rafting down a wild, clear mountain river or drifting serenely on a slow, gentler river, rivers give us places to enjoy nature. Sadly, rivers face pollution from many sources: farming, industry and even tourism. It is important to protect rivers from pollution in order to save them for now and future generations.
Water is one of the most important sources of life in the earth. Water pollution has become one of the biggest problems facing our environment. This pollution which is caused by the oil tankers or the oil spills could cause serious damage to the lives of many kinds of creatures that live in the sea. People were happy when the oil was first discovered. For them it was a new source of energy that would help to make life a lot easier, no one ever thought that oil could cause so much damage, but it became clear when oil tankers began to dump oil in to the sea. The oil which was dumped into the sea for different reasons, could cause a lot of damage to the life in that sea
Toxic wastes are probably the most harmful forms of pollutants. These wastes come from leakage of landfills, dumps, old mines, and farms. A toxic waste can be quickly passed along the food chain and can cause various problems.
A major step to control and clean the river Ganga had been taken in 1984, when the Central Ganga Authority was established to implement the Ganga Action Plan. This plan has identified 27 cities and about 120 factories as points of pollution from Haridwar to Hooghly. Similarly, the Yamuna Action Plan has also been devised. But till now nothing substantial has come out and there is a long way to go. I would like to conclude that, if we want to make a change to save our rivers, or even our whole environment as well, we should start our actions and the change within ourselves. We should not
