Delhi, the capital of India, has been grappling with severe water pollution for several years now.
The city's water bodies, including the Yamuna River, have been contaminated with toxic
chemicals, sewage, and industrial waste, making it unsafe for human consumption. The primary
cause of water pollution in Delhi is the discharge of untreated sewage and industrial effluents into
the water bodies. The city's sewage treatment plants are outdated, and their capacity is
inadequate to treat the enormous volume of sewage generated every day. As a result, much of the
sewage ends up in the Yamuna River, contaminating it with harmful bacteria and viruses. Another
significant source of water pollution in Delhi is industrial effluents discharged into the river. The
city is home to several industrial areas where various manufacturing processes take place,
resulting in the release of toxic chemicals and heavy metals into the water bodies. The impact of
water pollution on the health of the people living in Delhi is severe. The contaminated water is a
breeding ground for diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and hepatitis the poor and marginalized
sections of the society, who do not have access to clean drinking water, are the most affected by
the water pollution crisis. The government and civil society organizations have taken several
steps to address the issue of water pollution in Delhi. The government has initiated various
programs to upgrade the sewage treatment plants and reduce the discharge of untreated sewage
into the water bodies. The industrial sector has also been mandated to install effluent treatment
plants to treat their wastewater before releasing it into the rivers. Additionally, several civil
society organizations have been working to create awareness among the citizens about the
importance of water conservation and pollution control. They have been organizing campaigns to
clean the water bodies and promote sustainable water usage practices. Water pollution in Delhi is
a severe issue that requires urgent attention and action from all stakeholders. The government,
industry, and citizens must work together to implement sustainable solutions that can reduce the
contamination of the city's water bodies and ensure access to safe drinking water for all.

Kanpur, a city in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, has been plagued by severe air
pollution for several years. The city's rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in the
emission of high levels of pollutants, including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur
dioxide. A recent study conducted by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur found that
the city's air quality has deteriorated significantly over the past few decades. The study attributed
the rise in air pollution to industrial emissions, vehicular traffic, and burning of agricultural
waste. The primary causes of air pollution in Kanpur are industrial activities, vehicular emissions,
and open burning of waste. Kanpur is known for its leather industry, which is a major source of air
pollution. The industry generates a large amount of hazardous waste and releases toxic gases into
the air, contributing significantly to the city's air pollution levels. The city's transport system
heavily relies on diesel-powered vehicles, which release high levels of particulate matter and
nitrogen oxides into the air. The burning of waste in open areas, including plastics and other non-
biodegradable materials, is also a significant contributor to the city's air pollution levels. The high
levels of air pollution in Kanpur have led to several adverse health effects, including respiratory
diseases, heart disease, and cancer. The city's air pollution levels have exceeded the safe limits
prescribed by the World Health Organization (WHO), leading to an increase in hospital admissions
and deaths due to air pollution-related illnesses. The pollution has also impacted the local
environment, including the deterioration of water quality and soil fertility. To address the air
pollution problem in Kanpur, the government and other stakeholders have taken several
measures. The government has implemented stricter regulations for industries, including the
closure of polluting units and the installation of pollution control devices. The city has also
introduced a public transport system, including electric buses and cycle-sharing initiatives, to
reduce the number of diesel-powered vehicles on the roads. The government has also launched
campaigns to raise awareness about the harmful effects of air pollution and encourage residents
to adopt eco-friendly practices, including waste segregation and composting. 0
