Explore the critical issue of groundwater pollution in the Himalayan region with ‘Groundwater Pollution in Himalayan Region’. This vital book examines the mounting threats from urbanization, intensive agriculture, and climate change impacting this fragile ecosystem. Discover how surface activities, including agricultural runoff laden with fertilizers and pesticides, improper waste disposal, and unregulated mining, contaminate precious aquifers with nitrates, heavy metals, and pathogens. The degradation of groundwater quality poses severe risks to millions dependent on this resource, alongside biodiversity and ecosystem health. This essential read, from The Bookish Owl, advocates for sustainable land-use, improved wastewater management, and community awareness to protect Himalayan groundwater. Essential for environmentalists, policymakers, and concerned citizens.
