Gilgit-Baltistan, s Protection of Pure Water Streaming Areas

Introduction:

Pure water or distilled water, also known as purified water, is water from a source that has removed all contamination. Distilled water is the most common form of pure water. Pure water can be purified by carbon filtration, micro-porous filtration and ultraviolet (UV) oxidation. Some places use a combination of purification processes. Pure water can be used in cooking, drinking, scientific studies and laboratories.

Over one thirds of Earth's surface is covered by water less than a third is taken up by land. As Earth's population continues to grow, people are putting ever-increasing pressure on the planet's water resources. In a sense, our oceans, rivers, and other inland waters are being "squeezed" by human activities not so they take up less room, but so their quality is reduced. Poorer water quality means water pollution. Due to water pollution the marine life is badly affected.

We know that pollution is a human problembecause it is a relatively recent development in the planet's history: before the 19th century Industrial Revolution, people lived more in harmony with their immediate environment. As industrialization has spread around the globe, so the problem of pollution has spread with it. When Earth's population was much smaller, no one believed pollution would ever present a serious problem as now a days it became a serious problem. It was once popularly believed that the oceans were far too big to pollute. Today, with around seven (7) billion people on the planet, it has become apparent that there are limits. Pollution is one of the signs that humans have exceeded those limits.

How serious is the problem? According to the environmental campaign organization WWF, AKRSP and BASEP: "Pollution from toxic chemicals threatens life on this planet. Every ocean and every continent, from the tropics to the once-pristine polar regions, is contaminated."

Effects of Water Pollution:

Some people believe pollution is an inescapable and unavoidable result of human activity: they argue that if we want to have factories, cities, ships, cars, oil, and coastal resorts, some degree of pollution is almost certain to result. In other words, pollution is a necessary evil that people must put up with if they want to make progress. Fortunately, not everyone agrees with this view. One reason people have woken up to the problem of pollution is that it brings costs of its own that undermine any economic benefits that come about by polluting.

Take oil spills, for example. They can happen if tankers are too poorly built to survive drastic at sea. But the economic benefit of compromising on tanker quality brings an economic cost when an oil spill occurs. The oil can wash up on nearby beaches, devastate the ecosystem, and severely affect tourism as well as sea life. The main problem is that the people who bear the cost of the spill (typically a small coastal community) are not the people who caused the problem in the first place (the people who operate the tanker). Yet, arguably, everyone who puts gasoline (petrol) into their car—or uses almost any kind of petroleum-fueled transport—contributes to the problem in some way. So oil spills are a problem for everyone, not just people who live by the coast and tanker operates.

Awareness among Citizens:

Awareness is the one of most important feature to protect pure water of Gilgit-Baltistan, we know that the water of Gilgit-Baltistan is polluted and maximum people are unaware about it which is not a good sign for upcoming generation. Every citizen is equally and individually responsible to be aware about it and also contribute his/her services to reduce water pollution. If people become aware about how to protect pure water of GB then they will implement ideas that help them to protect water. We know that the citizens of Gilgit-Baltistan are unaware about all these things which are so dangerous for human health and life. So every citizen must be aware about pure streaming water and they should start to protect water from their own houses and areas to clean the water canals which are increasingly polluted in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Causes:

Most water pollution doesn't begin in the water itself. Take the oceans: around eighty percent (80%)of ocean pollution enters our seas from the land. Virtually any human activity can have an effect on the quality of our water environment. When farmers fertilize the fields, the chemicals they use and the fertilizers for cultivation are gradually washed by rain into the groundwater or surface waters nearby. Sometimes the causes of water pollution are quite astonishing. Chemicals released by smokestacks (chimneys) can enter the atmosphere and then fall back to earth as rain, entering seas, rivers, and lakes and causing water pollution. That's called atmospheric deposition. Water pollution has many different causes and this is one of the reasons why it is such a difficult problem to overcome.

How to restore the two decade earlier environment:

Now to restore the earlier environment is almost impossible because of the population is increase during such a time interval which effects the environment so badly that is the main reason but we should try our best to make little bit similar to it by making such a bold decisions which helps us to make it simple,clean and natural environment it is possible if we made some rules and regulationsto protect pure water of Gilgit-Baltistan otherwise it is not possible to restore the two decade earlier environment. 

Conclusion:

Water pollution has many kinds, all of which are devastating and none of which are less worthy than the other. Whether it be oil pollution, which is a largely silent (excluding the occasional large spill) but deadly polluter or the widely encompassing chemical pollution which can include Persistent Organic Pollutants, all water pollution have unperceivable results. Some of these effects, which can also be considered further pollutants, are Acid Mine Drainage and Eutrophication. These effects effectively choke out the water they pollute and have the capability to devastate entire ecosystems centered on a water supply.

The most obvious, not to mention hard to admit, conclusion at which we can arrive is that this is abandoned a product of human consumption and laziness. Oil pollution is mainly caused by the improper drainage of everyday human activities. Chemical pollution, including POP, PCB, and DDT, is created from our desire for excellent pesticides that will do the work and thinking for us, and from our ever growing demand for more electricity. Acid Mine Drainage is caused when careless mining companies disrupt pyrite deposits underground without taking the time to first test the ground or the effort to neutralize any acidity initially caused from pollution. Eutrophication is an excellent example of what can happen from chemical pollution, as it is caused when excess nutrients enter the water system and promote the excessive growth of invasive species which effectively removes the oxygen from water and chokes the life out of an ecosystem.
If we commonly use few chemicals, oil, and everything else, there will be less opportunities for irresponsible humans to further damage our precious water supply. It seems as if small number of people can reuse and recycle, but we, especially we Gilgit-baltistanis, need to adopt the most necessary modal.
