Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2022 in the subject Environmental Sciences, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: The present study delves into the origins and consequences of water pollution, the interplay between water pollution and water scarcity, and the measures for managing and averting water pollution.

The availability of water resources is of paramount importance for the sustenance of human life and for a multitude of applications, including but not limited to agriculture, industry, and energy generation. The rise in demand and insufficient management practises have resulted in water scarcity and pollution, leading to environmental degradation and conflicts. The significance of environmental education and individual actions in safeguarding water resources is underscored. Furthermore, it has been emphasised that human interventions and methodologies, such as appropriate management of waste, conservation of water, and periodic examination for pollutants, are crucial for the maintenance of water quality and guaranteeing the accessibility of uncontaminated water for forthcoming cohorts.
