Save Rivers : An interactive website for Betwa Utthan organization in Vidisha (M.P)

Abstract

In our present time the river pollution is one of the biggest problems in our world. It�s mainly because of illegal dumping, industrialization and agriculture. Moreover, the people don�t know how to treat their sewage waste and dispose of it in a safe way. Almost all rivers nowadays start to suffer from this problem. Differences between the past, right now and the future may be big. If we compared our mind now with that of forty years ago we would see that they were more different than they are now. This is because urbanization and spreading of civilization has enabled us to obtain facilities which were not present in the past. Though these facilities have made life easier for us, there are some changes which are not positive because they have caused problems to our environment. It has been a problem for decades, but it has become more common as more people move closer to river sources. Water pollution occurs when harmful chemicals or substances such as oil, bacteria, or radiation enter water. If these contaminants are not removed from the water supply, they can cause serious health problems. The main reason why we are polluting our rivers is lack of awareness. Our society is so much dependent on our rivers that they have become a part of our lifestyle, but we aren't aware of the fact that we need to take proper care and attention of these precious resources. There are many solutions to this problem such as educating people about this matter, setting up more recycling centers around big cities or nearrivers etc. These solutions may change people�s attitudes towards water pollution if implemented well enough. The Betwa river in Madhya Pradesh, India is one of the major tributaries of the Yamuna .The river was once clean and pure but it is no more so. The problem is that using the river in this manner has had a huge impact on the health of the river because instead of objects made largely of mud and stone, today we use ceramic, plaster of paris, and plastic which do not break down as easily in the river.
