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.
This presentation was given as part of the EPA-funded Catchment Science and Management Course focusing on Integrated Catchment Management, held in June 2015. This course was delivered by RPS Consultants. If you have any queries or comments, or wish to use the material in this presentation, please contact catchments@epa.ie
It is increasingly being recognised internationally that integrated catchment management (ICM) is a useful organising framework for tackling the ongoing challenge of balancing sustainable use and development of our natural resource, against achieving environmental goals. The basic principles of ICM (Williams, 2012) are to:
• Take a holistic and integrated approach to the management of land, biodiversity, water and community resources at the water catchment scale;
• Involve communities in planning and managing their landscapes; and
• Find a balance between resource use and resource conservation
ICM is now well established in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. In Europe the ICM approach has been proposed as being required to achieve effective water and catchment management, and is the approach being promoted by DEFRA for the UK, where it is called the “Catchment Based Approach” (CaBA). The principles and methodologies behind ICM sit well within the context of the Water Framework Directive with its aims and objectives for good water quality, sustainable development and public participation in water resource management. In Ireland it is proposed that the ICM approach will underlie the work and philosophy in developing and implementing future River Basin Management Plans.

MSW combustion accounts for a small portion of American waste management for multiple reasons. Generally speaking, regions of the world where populations are dense and land is limited (e.g. many European countries, Japan), have greater adoption of combustion with energy recovery due to space constraints. As the United States encompasses a large amount of land, space limitations have not been as important a factor in the adoption of combustion with energy recovery. Landfilling in the United States is often considered a more viable option, especially in the short term, due to the low economic cost of building an MSW landfill verses an MSW combustion facility.
Another factor in the slow growth rate of MSW combustion in the United States is public opposition to the facilities. These facilities have not always had air emission control equipment, thus gaining a reputation as high polluting. In addition, many communities do not want the increased traffic from trucks or to be adjacent to any facility handling municipal waste.
Additionally, the upfront money needed to build an MSW combustion facility can be significant and economic benefits may take several years to be fully realized. A new plant typically requires at least 100 million dollars to finance the construction; larger plants may require double to triple that amount. MSW Combustion facilities typically collect a tipping fee from the independent contractors that drop the waste off on a daily basis to recover costs. The facilities also receive income from utilities after the electricity generated from the waste is sold to the grid. A possible third stream of revenue for the facilities comes from the sale of both ferrous (iron) and non-ferrous scrap metal collected from the post-combusted ash stream.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

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 .
4. Health Aspects of Water Quality
Effect of Organic Pollution on Water Quality
Effect of Toxic Pollutants on Water Quality
Effect of Nutrients on Water Quality
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
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 .
