Problem Statement
While studies on industrial impacts on water quality are abundant, there is a noticeable gap in the literature concerning the specific influence of small businesses on water pollution in the context of Mawa Ghat. This research aims to fill this gap by providing empirical evidence and insights into the dynamics between small businesses and water quality.
Despite the region’s environmental importance, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the specific role of small businesses in contributing to water pollution. These pollutants end up in nearby water bodies, degrading water quality and posing risks to the ecosystem and human health.
Research Question
- What are the specific activities of small businesses in Mawa Ghat that contribute to water pollution?
- What are the primary sources of water pollution associated with small businesses in Mawa Ghat?
- What are the environmental and health impacts of water pollution caused by small businesses in Mawa Ghat?
- What is the current water quality in Mawa Ghat, considering different water quality parameters?
- How do small businesses in Mawa Ghat manage and dispose of their waste, and what impact does this have on local water bodies?
Objectives of the Study
The main objectives of this research project are as follows:
- To identify the different types of small businesses operating in Mawa Ghat that are potentially responsible for water pollution.
- To determine the level and extent of water pollution caused by these small businesses.
- To Investigate and delineate the specific sources of water pollution in the study area, with a focus on the activities of small businesses.
- To Evaluate the direct and indirect contributions of small businesses to water pollution in Mawa Ghat.
- To Develop recommendations for sustainable practices that small businesses can adopt to minimize their environmental impact on water quality.
Conclusion
The comprehensive analysis of water quality parameters revealed valuable insights into the environmental conditions of the region. The average water temperature, pH, salinity, and total dissolved solids fell within acceptable ranges for freshwater ecosystems, indicating a relatively healthy environment. Ongoing monitoring of water quality parameters is essential to promptly identify any deviations from standards and address emerging pollution sources.
Though currently there is no significant water Pollution, we should be more careful to maintain this water quality in Mawa Ghat. Regulatory frameworks should be strengthened to ensure compliance with environmental standards, especially focusing on small businesses that may lack robust infrastructure.
