Hey,

The self cleansing capacity of a river refers to
the natural ways in which the river gets rid of the pollutants discharged into it.

The flow of the river, the presence of bacteria which decompose the pollutants and make them into harmless substances, are some factors whichcontribute to the self cleansing capacity of the river. But this can work to a certain limit only.

Natural processes can help to keep the river clean to a certain extent but they cannot overcome uncontrolled pollution.

HOPE IT HELPS YOU:-))
