The leading cause of river pollution in Southwest Asia is largely attributed to industrial discharge and agricultural runoff, which introduce harmful chemicals and nutrients into water bodies. Additionally, inadequate waste management practices and urbanization exacerbate the pollution problem. The contamination not only affects aquatic ecosystems but also poses significant health risks to local communities relying on these water sources for drinking and irrigation.

What does river pollution have?
