Is the nile polluted

Answer 1

Absolutely not. It contains many hazardous contaminants, including a parasitic worm which causes schistosomiasis. The water must be carefully treated before it is drinkable. However, it is fine for irrigation purposes. Plants are less sensitive to the contaminants than humans are.

Answer 2

Water and air pollution continue to be a problem for the river. As development in the spheres of agriculture, industry, and urbanization have progressed among the human population, so too have the side effects associated with these practices increased, namely in the form of various pollutants. These pollutants range from agrochemicals to heavy metals to human waste products.

Municipal Pollutants

In the cities that we are used to, the water going down our drains goes through various treatment processes to make it as healthy as possible before it is finally released back into nature. Treating water keeps the by-products of everyday human water use from negatively affecting the environment it eventually winds up in. Unfortunately, these treatment facilities can be expensive, and for the more impoverished cities along the banks of the Nile, impossible to afford or maintain. The water that the people living here use can only be dumped into the river untreated.

Human wastewater is largely comprised of pathogens, nutrients, oxygen demanding compounds, and suspended solids . Diseases and parasites are common in such wastewater. Oxygen demanding compounds are also present, and they leech the oxygen from the water. This, of course, has consequences on living organisms in the water that need oxygen for their natural processes.

Well, there really isn't an exact measure of how much pollution there is in The Nile River. However, it usually depends on how much pollution surrounds it. All I really know is that not much is being done about it, and that it is getting worse.
