  1. Industrial Waste Disposal – Factories discharge toxic chemicals, heavy metals, and dyes into nearby water bodies, contaminating water.
  2. Sewage and Domestic Waste – Untreated sewage, detergents, and household waste enter rivers and lakes, leading to waterborne diseases.
  3. Agricultural Runoff – Excess use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides washes into water bodies, causing pollution and algal blooms.
