over-utilization and pollution of surface and ground water

With the growth of human population ,there us an increasing need for larger amounts of water to fulfil a variety of basic needs.Today ,in many areas,this requirement cannot be met.The over-utilization of water occures at various levels .Most people use more water than they really need.Most of us waste water during a bath by using a shower or while washing clothes.May agriculturists use more water than necessary to grow crops .There are many ways in which farmrs can use less water with out reducing yields such as the use of drip irrigation systems.
Agriculture also pollutes surface water and underground water stores by the excessive use of chemical fertilizers ,and non-toxic pesticides,like neem products and using integrated pest management systems,all help to reduce the agricultural pollution of surface and ground water.
The industry tends to maximize short-term economic gains by not bothering about its liquid waste and releasing it into streams rivers and the sea.In .In the lonfer term as people become more consious of using 'green products' made by econsentive industries,the polluters products may not be used .The polluting industry that dies not care for tje environment and pays bribes to get away form the cost needed to use effulent treatments plants may eventually be caught ,punished and even closed which are already gaining in popularity.
As people begin to learn about the serious health hazards caused by pesticides in their food,public awarness may incresingly put pressures on industry to rpoduce only eco friemdly products which are already gaining in popularity.
