The most harmful sources of water pollution come from industries. Unplanned industrial growth, inefficient waste disposal and leaching of resources from the natural world have all contributed to the destruction of wetlands. Major environmental mishaps have occurred due to industrial pollution in the past and it is a growing concern for every country on the planet.
