Water Pollution and Drinking Water Quality

Every country around the world strives to keep drinking water clean. Whether it is a stream or a river or a lake, the country has taken a big step to maintain high quality drinking water for human consumption and consumption of animals. Each country must first understand the cause of pollution and then decide on the best way to eliminate it. Clean drinking water is a precious resource, and the key to human survival. Since plants and animals also depend on the growth of water, it is necessary to keep all the water clean.

Water pollution is a chemical, physical or biological change in water quality and is harmful to every living being consumed or used or living. When humans drink contaminated water, they often have serious health consequences. Water pollution can also render water unsuitable for its intended use. The second type of water pollutant is waste that can be broken down by waste requiring oxygen, aerobic bacteria. When a large amount of degrading bacteria converts these wastes, it runs out of the oxygen content of the water. This will cause other creatures in the water, such as fish, to die

Water pollution is one of the main threats to public health in Pakistan. Poor quality control and drinking water monitoring Pakistan is ranked 80th in the drinking water quality among 122 countries. Surface water and groundwater drinking water sources are polluted by coliform bacteria, toxic metals and agricultural chemicals nationwide. Various drinking water quality parameters set by the World Health Organization are often violated. Artificial activities such as improper treatment of municipal sewage and industrial waste water and indiscriminate use of agricultural chemicals in agriculture are the main causes of deterioration of water quality. Microorganisms and chemical contaminants are a major factor in the major causes of various public health problems or a combination thereof. This review explains the detailed layout of the quality of drinking water in Pakistan, with particular emphasis on major pollutants, sources of pollution, and the resulting health problems.
