Causes of River pollution :-
_______________
1) Water pollution largely occurs due to sewage flow into rivers, dumps into sea and also contamination of land and water due to toxic chemicals. But of all of them, it seems the main cause of water pollution is sewage eflux into rivers.
2) Due to flux of industrial waste, rise in the automobiles oil usage and growth in population, the rivers are subjected to great deal of pollution.
Measures to Conserve :-

1) DO NOT pour fat from cooking or any other type of fat, oil, or grease down the sink. Keep a “fat jar” under the sink to collect the fat and discard in the solid waste when full.
2) DO NOT dispose of household chemicals or cleaning agents down the sink or toilet. Simsbury has a Hazardous Waste Collection day usually from 8:00am to 1:00pm at Henry James School.Connecticut Resource Recovery Authority lists all collection dates.
3) DO NOT flush pills, liquid or powder medications or drugs down the toilet. For recommendations on proper disposal for all types of medical wastes, visit the CT DEP publication here.
