Contaminated water sources due to poor waste management in India pose a significant health risk. Many regions suffer from waterborne diseases caused by improper disposal of industrial and domestic waste. Sustainable waste management practices, such as proper segregation and treatment, can help reduce water pollution. The government’s focus on sewage treatment plants and waste recycling is crucial for clean water access. Urbanization has increased waste production, making efficient waste disposal methods more necessary than ever. Recycling wastewater for agricultural and industrial use can reduce freshwater demand. Industries must adopt zero-liquid discharge (ZLD) policies to prevent wastewater release into natural water bodies. Strict enforcement of environmental laws is needed to safeguard drinking water sources.
