Abstract Abstract
Rivers are indispensable source for providing fresh water to human beings as well as other forms of lives on earth. It has been observed that despite the fact that several measures have been hitherto taken by the Central Government and other state Governments in India in recent times to cleanse river water but river water quality has been gradually deteriorating over time so much as to threaten human existence over a large part of India. It is worth noting that river water quality in India has gradually deteriorated over time through discharge of industrial waste, domestic sewage, agricultural runoff, oil spillage, religious remains immersion etc. Contaminated water both directly as well as indirectly adversely affects health of living organisms including fauna and floras in ecosystem. The whole riverine ecosystem is disturbed through pollution of river water. People suffer from several health related problems due to the consumption of contaminated water from the river. This review study highlights several important issues related to river water pollution in India such as sources of pollution, its impact on biodiversity, climate change, and economy and on human health and different steps taken by the government to mitigate the problem of rivers pollution.
