After independence, industries are increasing in a-, rapid pace and have become a
reason for pressure on existing fresh water resources. Fresh water is almost
limited, though renewable in India, but over-exploitation and mismanagement of
this resource by industries are aggravating the water stress day-by-day.
(i) Industries especially heavy industries use huge amount of fresh water for
industrial purpose and pollute and waste such water.
(ii) These industries for their energy consumption purpose depend on
hydroelectric projects and this electricity is generated through damming the rivers
upstream. So, the river almost dries in the lower stream areas.
(iii) Again industries dump the chemical waste in the river, lake, etc. which then
consequently pollute the water dangerously for human survival.
These also contaminate the groundwater through seepage of industrial wastes.
