There are many environmental issues in India. Our country is facing serious problems like air pollution, water pollution, flood and drought due to climate changes. Air pollution, poor management of waste, growing water scarcity, falling groundwater tables, water pollution, preservation and quality of forests, biodiversity loss, and land/soil degradation are some of the major environmental issues India faces today. India's population growth adds pressure to environmental issues and its resources.
The air pollution is increasing steadily for the past two decades. Thick haze and smoke, originating from burning biomass and air pollution from large industrial cities in northern India are effecting climate change.
The well urbanized cites are affected more than rural areas because there are many factories and vehicle usage in urban areas. Delhi has been experiencing air pollution more. The polluted air has been just spread like a snow .The Delhi government now introduced a new scheme called as odd even which means the vehicle number ends with odd numbers are allowed to run on first day.
Answer:
India is prestigiously described varyingly like "Sub continent", "Peninsular", "The only Country's name's after an Ocean in the world". \Yes,That's true ,because it's romantically designed bordering , Drass in Jammu the second most coldest place in the world to be inhabited in the north, Mawsynram in Meghalaya receiving high rainfall(467 inch) and the wettest place in the world at east, Thar desert recording Jaisalmer as the driest place receiving only 11inch in entire year in the west and in southern India has all in one bowl like seas , mountains like western and eastern Ghats, Deccan plateau to add on more beauty . To the healthy nation disease called pollution started and is exponentially skewing when the urbanization, industrialization came into picture, eg. Polluted River Ganga, Taj Trapezium i.e discoloration of Taj Mahal due to the industrial pollution nearby, huge decrease of the pollution of Ganges Dolphin "The National Aquatic Animal",etc evidence to it among the 20 most polluted cities in the world 13 are from India topped by the capital Delhi reported by WHO,80% of India's surface water may be polluted due to the intrusion of sewage water in to river and other drinking water sources propounded by WaterAid an international organization.
Finding a panacea is tedious but stepwise approach like monitoring, preventing, maintaining could show a paradigm shift towards the sustainable environment. Major sources for pollution is vehicle exhaustion, industrial pollutants mainly in thermal power plants like coal burning, improper sewage treatement,etc..Air pollution is not purely contributed by urban but rural people activities like wood , kerosene and biomass burning, improper sewage treatment ,etc. also account to it.
