The Sources, Environmental Impact, and Control of Water Pollution

Abstract Stormwater pollution impacts the quality of both the environment and human health. It degrades natural resources, threatens economic prosperity and poses health and safety risks to communities. Stormwater pollution is the result of urban and industrial runoff getting washed into the storm drains, seriously affecting all of our nation’s water sources. Federal regulations and pollution prevention measures can significantly influence the quality of our water, our environment and our health

declined. However, natural resources have been severely depleted and environmental quality has declined due to the rise in pollution levels. http://icem.com.au/documents/envassessment/wb_cea/WB_CEA.pdf Figure 1 demonstrates that Vietnam is one of the highest ranked countries in the world in terms of pollution index. Figure 1: World Map of Pollution Index for 2016 In general, industrial enterprises in Vietnam have a poor environmental track record. Many use old equipment which is less efficient and

through the process of uncontrolled pollution of the environment. A casual look at our surroundings shows reckless attitude of people towards environmental preservation. Due to this development, regulations and standards have been set to ensure cleaner and safer environment. These regulations are enforced by agencies like National Environmental Standard and Regulation Enforcement Agency (NESREA), Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) and State Environmental Protection Agencies (SEPAs). There

Nowadays environmental pollution is one of the hottest topics in society. Ned Haluzan concludes,“The most appropriate definition of environmental pollution would be the introduction of different harmful pollutants into certain environment that makes this environment unhealthy to live in.”(1) In other words, the natural environment has been destroyed by human activities, and thus harmful to the phenomenon of humans and other organisms for survival and development. With continued increase in population，and

China’s ability to deal with its limited water resources may perhaps be the greatest determining factor in the future prosperity of the nation as well as wellbeing of the Chinese people. Though not entirely without freshwater reserves, the sheer size of the nation’s population dictates that China has always failed to be a water abundant country. Recent decades’ rapid development, inefficient water usage, and pollution have birthed a severe and growing water crisis. As a key component of the government’s

Water pollution is a serious environmental issue worldwide. 1 Water is one of the most valuable resources on our planet; having clean water is vitally important for our survival. Here in the United States, the Clean Water Act of 1972 was very successful in reducing point sources of water pollution; however, it has been ineffective in reducing nonpoint sources of water pollution (Manuel, 2014). Nitrogen and phosphorous that originate from agricultural sources, such as manure and inorganic fertilizer

POLLUTION AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM Introduction The environment is always facing sudden changes due to natural forces like the eruption of volcanic and earthquakes. However human activities have in the recent times being blamed as the major contributor to the majority of the environmental problems that there are today. Among the numerous environmental issues is pollution. Human activities have been solely responsible for soil, water, and air pollution that has made the entire environment polluted

of building is the largest stage that impacts environment during the life cycle, so require more attention in the field of energy saving of building. In the initial design stage of buildings, through LCA can help design decisions, such as the appropriate use of zero energy building techniques. To quantitatively assess the energy consumption and environmental impact among all above stages, LCA is undoubtedly the best choice that can full evaluate the impacts during extraction of raw materials, material
