"Many industrial estates have already moved to one place that can facilitate the treatment of effluents before they discharge the river. The treatment of effluents should be mandatory for all industries. The wastewater treatment system should work in each and every industry efficiently. Government/companies should take this seriously and should stop partially treated discharges.
Water in the river basin or canals can flow into the ocean. Therefore, removing the silt in the initial part of the river, it is useful to absorbed the treated or untreated waste can be disposed off in the ocean."
