There are many reasons for water pollution of local rivers; mainly:

  • nearby factory wastes dumping in the river
  • deposits from nearby fossil fuel power plants (as Mercury and other heavy metals as well as other greenhouse gases dissolution).
  • sewage water dumping in river
  • the wastes from the passing ships and boats
  • people may use the local river for washing cloth and for swimming
