The document summarizes a field trip report on water pollution from a group of students. The group visited two polluted water bodies - Buddha Nullah in Ludhiana and Hardaspur pond in Kapurthala. Buddha Nullah had become polluted due to waste from nearby factories with no treatment. Hardaspur pond was contaminated by garbage and lacked a sewer system. The purpose was to assess pollution levels, identify causes, problems, and information gaps. Solutions discussed included public awareness, dustbins, recycling, proper disposal and treatment. Outcomes included less garbage in drains and breathing issues reduced.

3. What Is Water Pollution?
• Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies
(e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans and groundwater) . This form
of environmental degradation occurs
when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged
into water bodies without adequate treatment to
remove harmful compounds.
• Water pollution affects the entire biosphere – plants
and organisms living in these bodies of water. In almost
all cases the effect is damaging not only to
individual species and population, but also to the
natural biological communities .

Water Pollution

5. Background
• Location – Buddha Nullah
It was a seasonal stream earlier but today it has
become a major source of pollution due to
factories situated near by . All the waste
material of the factories and industries goes
directly into the stream and thus creating water
pollution and harm to water species. Due To
some political issue or some governmental issue
we were unable to do something over there.

7. Location - Hardaspur
Hardaspur is located near Phagwara , district
Kapurthala (PB). Earlier It was a big water pond
with fresh water. But Now it has been
contaminated by garbage coming out of homes
and nearby institutions like LPU. There is No
Proper sewerage system in the village . Also
villagers are not very much aware about water
pollution.

9. Purpose And Objectives
The Purpose of the fieldwork was to expose the students to
the challenges of identifying , profiling and finding solutions
to the problems occuring due to water pollution
• To Assess the areas with Highly contaminated water
bodies
• Identifying the reasons for this pollution
• Identifying problems faced by them
• Checking the availability of proper sewerage system
• Identifying the sources from where this polluted water
flows into stream
• Determining whether citizens are properly aware or not

10. Solutions
• Public Awareness
• Use Of Dustbins
• Use Of Recyclable Products
• Proper Disposal Of Garbage
• Buy more environmentally safe cleaning
liquids
• Less Use Of Pesticides
• Proper Sewage Treatment

11. Public Awareness

12. Use Of Dustbins

13. Outcomes
• Most of the garbage is now thrown in the
dustbins placed by us
• Nobody throw their garbage in the drains as
earlier it was done
• As Earlier, Garbage was thrown into drains due to
which growth of mosquitoes was increasing
leading to number of diseases
• Earlier people faced problem of breathing due to
water pollution, but now this problem is solved .
