Umiam Lake needs urgent attention for its cleanliness

In re Cleanliness Umiam Lake v. State of Meghalaya PIL10/2019 before Meghalaya High Court Heard by Hon’ble Mr. Chief Justice Sanjeeb Banerjee J & Hon’ble Mr. Justice W Diengdoh J Umiam Lake in Meghalaya is often compared with the beautiful lakes of Scotland. It is a vast and beautiful lake that attracts a large number of tourists from across the country. It is surrounded by the lush and lofty East Khasi Hills. Moreover, there are small islands that rise from the water that look exceptionally beautiful and when seen from Union Christian College Peak, the lake emerges in all its beauty and splendor.  It is sad that rapid urban growth has transformed Umiam into a sink for Shillongs waste and natural streams/rivers feeding the lake into open drains. A PIL was filed in the year 2019 concerning seeing the level of pollution at Umiam Lakes cleanliness before the Meghalaya High Court and hearing is continuing. The matter was listed on 19.07.2023 and State submitted Preservation and conservation guidelines 2023 by way of an affidavit. Observation of the Court with respect to the Report 1.   The guidelines of 2023 published by the State appear to be more of a formality than addressing the real issues. 2.   The guidelines introduced by the State as disclosed in the affidavit fall woefully short of the expectations or the measures necessary to protect the waterbodies, particularly the Umiam Lake. 3.   In the absence of any other employment opportunities and in the name of promoting tourism, the natural beauty of the State should not be destroyed and the State should be alive to the problem. 4.   The State must indicate the measures taken by it to arrest deforestation, as stretches along the highways all over the State reveal felling of trees and more and more of the mountain being chopped off for construction purposes. 5.   Though, State claims that more than 72 per cent of its total area is covered by forest, it would be interesting to ascertain whether any recent survey in such regard has been conducted, if conducted, such report be placed before the Court. 6.   Several of the rivers, including the Umkhrah in Shillong itself are carrying such contaminated water that they may not be fit even to step into. 7.   Elsewhere, rivers and streams which are not perennial carry so much filth and dirt that people living downstream are deprived of the use of the water altogether. 8.   There has to be a more wholesome approach undertaken by the State and it is hoped that the setting up of an expert body with suggestions from knowledgeable citizens possessing qualifications in such regard would go a long way in the State preparing an action plan and persuading the District Councils to abide by the same.

Polluted Waters: A Global Crisis

Introduction

The process by which dangerous materials, also referred to as pollutants, are discharged into the environment is known as pollution. Pollutants include plastics, smoke, chemicals emitted by industry, volcanic ash, and rubbish. 

Causes

Many natural and human-caused processes can lead to water pollution, which is a serious environmental problem.

Industrial Discharges

 Industrial discharge contains a large number of hazardous chemicals. It discharges these chemicals directly into the rivers, lakes, or nearby water bodies. These highly toxic chemicals may harm aquatic animals and human beings.

Urban Runoff

Common runoff pollutants include oil, paint, household cleaning supplies, sediment, pesticides, fertilizers, trash, yard waste, and pet waste. The everyday activities we do around our businesses, homes, and yards can impact the quality of the runoff that drains into our waterways.

Agricultural Practices

Bad management practices include poorly managed animal feeding operations, overgrazing, plowing, fertilizer, and improper, excessive, or badly timed use of pesticides. Pollutants from agriculture greatly affect water quality and can be found in lakes, rivers, wetlands, estuaries, and groundwater.

Wastewater and Sewage Disposal

Domestic households, industrial and agricultural practices produce wastewater that can cause pollution of many lakes and rivers. Sewage is the term used for wastewater that often contains feces, urine and laundry waste. There are billions of people on Earth, so treating sewage is a big priority.

Mining Activities

Water pollution may be caused by direct discharge of mine water to the water stream and due to erosion and wash off from the mined out area and waste dumps. The water may be acidic, alkaline, charged with dissolved chemicals and toxic substances or suspended solid particles.

Marine Dumping

Trash winds up in the ocean due to littering, illegal dumping, poor waste disposal practices, storm water discharge and extreme natural events like tsunamis. It’s not always intentional, but the debris comes from people with a majority of it originating on land first.

Instead, this pilot whale endured a long, agonizing death, unable to hunt food because his stomach was filled with more than 80 plastic bags. The creature was found in a canal in southern Thailand, surrounded by plastic he had regurgitated after mistaking it for food.

Effects

Imbalance Ecosystem

Polluted water can lead to a decrease in biodiversity, as it may contain harmful substances that can kill plant and animal species, disrupt their reproductive patterns or alter their habitats. This can disrupt food chains and overall ecosystem stability.

Climate Change

Water quality is also affected by climate change, as higher water temperatures and more frequent floods and droughts are projected to exacerbate many forms of water pollution – from sediments to pathogens and pesticides (IPCC).

Biodiversity Loss

Water pollution has significant negative effects on biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems. Pollution from various sources, including illicit drugs such as cocaine, leads to changes in the morphology and activity of aquatic organisms, impairing their reproduction and causing population decline.

Unwanted Diseases

Contaminated water and poor sanitation are linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea, dysentery, hepatitis A, typhoid and polio.

Reproduction Disorders

These environmental chemicals now became a major public health concern given that exposure to them, particularly during the sensitive windows of human reproduction, could cause adverse reproductive outcomes (both structural and functional), especially that some have endocrine-disrupting properties.

Global effects:-

A recent study by the nonprofit watchdog organization Environmental Working Group (EWG) asserts that millions of Americans are drinking water containing carcinogens (including Tobacco smoke, Radiation, Sunlight and Alcohol) and that the contamination may be responsible for more than 100,000 cases of cancer.

Only 0.5% of water on Earth is usable and available freshwater – and climate change is dangerously affecting that supply. Over the past 20 years, terrestrial water storage – including soil moisture, snow and ice – has dropped at a rate of 1 cm per year, with major ramifications for water security. (WMO, 2021)

Conclusion

Tackling water pollution is crucial for preserving ecosystems, public health, and ensuring a sustainable future through collective action and awareness of our environmental impact. To maintain a healthier lifestyle and prevent diseases use Swift Green water filters in your home and workplaces.

The True Cost of Clean: Why Toxic Cleaning Products and Skincare Are Damaging Our World ..

We all desire a clean home and glowing skin, but at what cost? Many of the cleaning and skincare products we use daily contain toxic chemicals that can have severe repercussions for our health and the environment. It’s time to uncover the hidden dangers lurking in these products and discover safer, eco-friendly alternatives.

The Hidden Threats in Everyday Products Health Hazards

Most commercial cleaning products and skincare items are loaded with chemicals such as phthalates, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances. These ingredients can cause a range of health issues, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, hormonal imbalances, and even cancer. For individuals with sensitive skin or allergies, these products can be particularly harmful, leading to chronic conditions like eczema or asthma.

Environmental Degradation

When we use these products, their toxic components often end up in our water systems, leading to significant water pollution. Chemicals like triclosan and phosphates can harm aquatic ecosystems, disrupting the reproductive systems of fish and other marine life. This pollution not only affects biodiversity but also compromises the quality of our water resources.

Impact on Soil and Plants

The environmental damage doesn't stop at our waterways. Toxic chemicals can leach into the soil, affecting its fertility and the health of plants. Contaminated soil can lead to stunted plant growth, reduced agricultural yields, and a disruption of natural ecosystems. This soil degradation ultimately affects the entire food chain, including humans.

Microplastics in Our Water: A Hidden Danger from Everyday Clothing

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Dana • sustainable fashion & beauty (@dankazhh)

Repost from Dankazhh on Instagram

Environmental scientist Dankazhh's Instagram post reveals a shocking source of microplastic pollution: our clothes. As part of her master's research in Environmental Science, she has uncovered the significant impact of synthetic fibers on our waterways. This revelation highlights the urgent need for awareness and action to combat this often-overlooked environmental issue.

"I studied microplastics in wastewater for two years, and the shocking truth is most of them come from our clothes! At least 65% of all clothes are made from synthetic fibers like polyester and polyamide, also known as plastic. Every time you wash these clothes in the washing machine, small particles end up in the wastewater. There aren't any specific requirements on how many microplastics should be removed before discharging it into our oceans and rivers. In the end, they pollute our oceans, harm marine life, and even end up in the food chain."

This post underscores the urgent need to address the environmental impact of our clothing choices. The prevalence of synthetic fibers in our wardrobes means that every wash cycle contributes to microplastic pollution. As we strive to live more sustainably, it’s crucial to consider not only the materials we purchase but also the downstream effects of their use.

How can we mitigate microplastic pollution from clothing?

To mitigate microplastic pollution from clothing, we can:

Choose natural fibers like cotton, wool, and hemp.

Use microfiber filters or laundry bags designed to capture microplastics.

Wash synthetic clothes less often and at cooler temperatures.

Advocate for stricter regulations on wastewater treatment.

Raise awareness about the impact of synthetic clothing and promote sustainable fashion choices.

By taking these steps, we can reduce the microplastic load in our waterways, protect marine ecosystems, and ensure a healthier environment for future generations. 🌎🌊
