Ganges River: Freshwater Pollution

1094 Words5 Pages

The Ganges River is the major source of life in North Western India which comes from the western Himalayas through the borders of India-Bangladesh. The Hindus consider the Ganges River it’s most sacred as it provides them every day needs such as food, hygienic care, water supply and materials to create necessary necessities. Although the Ganges is a holy and significant life source it seems that it is not being preserved well, this is shown where the city side (populated) areas of the Ganges River is sainted and extremely polluted, and with the population of India rapidly increasing with a growth rate of around 1.25% things are definitely not going to get any better.

But there is a way people can drink from this water without the risks of any fatal diseases or even death, this solution is the LIFESAVER Water Bottle. “Everyone Deserves Safe Drinking Water”- Michael Pritchard, well this quote can come true. The LIFASAVER Bottle uses ultra-filtration (filtering microscopic fragments) to filter out every sort of contamination found in the water so the person can drink any source of water from anywhere and this is no joke, the stages of turning contaminated water into clean and drinkable water is this. You take the base of the water bottle out, put any type of water source in, install the base of the bottle back which is actually a pump, after this pump the water a few times, on the other side of the bottle open the cap where sterile water will shoot out from these microscopic holes while the sanitation will remain in the bottle and will be cleaned out manually which is quite simple; these are the simple steps of using the LIFESAVER bottle. “Hold on a second, these steps are simple but how in the world do you get sterile water from these simple steps?!” Well the holes that the sterile water later sprays out is 15 nanometers which much smaller the smallest bacteria which is 200 nanometers (tuberculosis) and the smallest bacteria that is 25 nanometers (Polio Virus), so when the water comes out of the 15 nanometer pores/holes no other substance will come out of it and will be the sterile, drinkable water we want. The English government spends $12 Billion Dollars a year on foreign aid worldwide, and the negative with this is when all people from around the country drink from this water everyone will still have a shortage of water and diseases could be spread so there

The potomac river surrounds multiple states including Virginia, Washington D.C. and Maryland is one of the largest rivers in the eastern coast of the United States. A report from the nonprofit advocacy group American Rivers, noted what locals have said for years: “that urban development is funneling tons of polluted rainwater to the river, that chemical fertilizer and manure from farms make matters worse, and that wastewater overflowing from sewers, along with pharmaceuticals flushed down toilets, contribute to dead zones in which marine life dies and might cause fish to switch sexes.

  • Why Is Bottled Water Better Than Tap Water

    1895 Words  | 8 Pages

    Although the packaging itself is bad enough for the bottled, (Ferrier 2001) notes that the chemical composition of the water itself can be more deadly due to limited regulation. The tap water is under keen regulation by the municipality. Besides, (Ferrier 2001) goes ahead to indicate that quality of water coming from the taps is checked routinely for any suspicious particles and chemicals. This is not the case for bottled water. First, as Doria (2010) notes, twenty to twenty-five percent of the bottled water comes directly from tap water without any form of purification through distillation of any other treatment.
