Nature has its specific carrying capacity for each element. Water, Land and Air are all made of fine balance of different elements. This fine balance is maintained by the nature through its checks and balances. After the technological development, they started to exploit the bounties of the nature for their own development. In the process these fine balances were disturbed. This manifested in the form of disasters, extinction of species, life threateningdiseases, land degradation, declining fertility of soil, food insecurity and others.
Pollution is when the nature’s life sustenance process is disturbed by extraneous variables. 21st century is the century of crisis of which climate change is the most imminent one. Pollution is the major contributing factor to it.
As per international studies, India has 17 of the top 20 most polluted cities in the world. As per NITI Aayog, water pollution has degraded quality of 70% of water resources which has further aggravated the water scarcity. As per UN Convention on Combating Desertification and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, land degradation has been major contributing factor towards climate change.
The alarms are becoming stronger and threats are becoming imminent.
