Abstract: Various causes are responsible for polluting water. Some natural causes are mixture of biodegraded portion of animal and plants to pure water, siltation by erosion of river banks etc. Domestic wastes and industrial wastes are manmade pollutants of water.

Necessity of water for each and every living being needs no description. They intake water directly or indirectly form physiological activities. If this in taking water is polluted, it will do harm that is for sure. Excess of pollution in the Kharkai river water leads to algal blooms. The worst part is, this bad impact transports to others through food chain. Therefore, we must be aware of the adverse influence polluted water may have on us. At present, we cannot prevent water being polluted cent percent, but minimization is very much needed. It is time we took some steps to start working on it.
