Causes and Abatement of River Pollution
| ← Environmental Protection | Mississippi Flooding harms Agriculture in Several US States → |
Abstract
Increased population and industrialization has seen people and industries settle along river banks exposing the river water to a lot of wastes. Erosion rampant during the rainy season leads to a lot of soil being carried into the river water polluting it. Measures have been set up to reduce the rate of pollution by discouraging farming along river banks and setting up regulations for industrial wastes
Introduction
This essay scrutinizes research on Mississippi river pollution levels in terms of four main water pollution topics: sediment pollution, toxic pollution, nutrient pollution and bacterial contamination, and ways to abate it.
From a historical perspective, the Mississippi River pollution can be based on population growth along the boundaries of the river. The USA Geological Survey compiled a report in 1990 which provided comprehensive coverage of inorganic and organic toxins in the River (Quinta, 2009). Referring to the heavy metals, they stated that, as the valleys of the Mississippi River and its most of its tributaries got industrialized and settled, the metals dumped by human activities have affected the quality of the water of River Mississippi. Most of these metallic ions are necessary for proper metabolism among all living things yet highly toxic at high concentrations; some metals currently viewed as nonessential are toxic even at low concentrations."
Current agricultural practices are the main problems causing river pollution. Nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff is the main problem linked to pollution.
Bacterial pollution, especially the presence of Escherechia coli, which gets linked to both modern sewage treatment facilities and the runoff contaminated with livestock manure makes large stretches of the River a no swim zone too.
Issues like upland erosion, leaks containing chemical and spills, plus other types of water pollution have been quite prevalent throughout the basin and have got aggravated by sediment transport, creating environmental problems for wildlife, humans and the aquatic life. Several measures have been implemented with the intention of mitigating these pollution problems. Their success got successful initiated although, subsequent processes, such as aggravations and degradation, have been resultants of these revetments over time.
Conclusion
River pollution is a health hazard. Measures have to be taken to see to it that water pollution has been curbed. This calls for involvement of the respective governments to come up with strict regulations controlling industrial waste disposal into rivers. Others are creating embankments to prevent a lot of soil from flowing into rivers.

I had a hard time articulating what my professor wanted, so I was able to speak straight to my writer. After I had explained a little bit, I could tell he understood everything. He then took the ball and ran with it, so to speak. He wrote my paper in two days and it was the picture of perfection! I am very grateful that he knew what to do and how to do it so perfectly. |

Dear EssaysEmpire.com, I have never used a writing service like yours before. None of the ones I have tried previously offered the kind of guarantees that you offer. I even bought a paper that was plagiarized once. I never have to worry about things like that with EssaysEmpire.com! Thanks a million! |

Today was the perfect day to make an A+! It convinced me that there are solutions to problems that seem impossible to solve. When I realized that the due date for my paper was coming up quickly, I felt like there was nothing I could do. If I didn’t hand in my paper on time, I would get an F and fail the course. However, I had to study for 3 major exams and write two other papers. My roommate suggested that I turn the paper over to you guys, which I did, and voila! I got an A+ on it and the problem was solved. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com and to your writers and staff. You are a great writing service. |

I am 100% satisfied with the writer that you assigned to my project. This person understood exactly what I needed, even though I’m not the best communicator and the instructions were tedious and difficult. I felt certain I would have to send my paper back for a number of revisions, but I didn’t. The writer was able to convey exactly what I wished to express and he did it in record time!Thanks for everything. EssaysEmpire.com is the greatest! |

Dear EssaysEmpire.com, I would like to put in a good word for Writer #32412. He was really under the gun. I didn’t give him much notice because I had my dates mixed up and my paper was due sooner than I expected. He didn’t let me down, though. He wrote until the paper was perfected. I handed it in on time got an A+ and wish your writers could accept tips, because I would leave this guy a HUGE one! |

Given the short amount of time I gave your writers to create my term paper, I was amazed by how good it was when I received it back! It appeared they had spent months writing it, rather than just one week. Thank you, EssaysEmpire.com! I enjoyed doing business with you. You are a fabulous writing company. |

To the writers at EssaysEmpire.com: Next week, I will be graduating with a degree in clinical psychology. Over the course of my college years, I have had to turn to you for help many times. Each and every time, you produced some of the highest quality writing my professors had ever seen. Because of you, I was able to keep a high grade point average and get into an excellent grad school. There are simply no words adequate enough to fully express my appreciation, so I’ll simply say, “thank you” and let it go at that. Please know that you are appreciated. |
