Answer:
The main causes of pollution of Indian
rivers are:
(i) The growing domestic, municipal, industrial and
agricultural demand
for water from rivers naturally affects the quality of
water.
(ii) As a result, more and more water is drained out of the
rivers, thereby reducing their volume.
(iii) A heavy load of untreated sewage and industrial
effluents are emptied
into the rivers.
(iv) This affects not only the quality of water but also
the self-cleansing capacity of the river.
(v) The increasing urbanisation and industrialisation has
increased the pollution levels of the rivers.
