Minireview on Addressing the Effects of Non-Point Source (NPS) Pollution in Aquatic Ecosystem
Khwabi Koreti*, Narsingh Kashyap, Ram Kumar Kurmi, Niranjan Sarang
Abstract
Pollution from non-point sources is a much bigger issue. When water from rain, snow, or irrigation flows over or through the ground, picking up pollutants along the way, it causes them to end up in bodies of water. Therefore, the goal of this study is to present some best management practices for addressing the issue as well as a complete analysis of the primary effects of NPS pollution on aquatic ecosystems. For the purposes of making this study thorough, data on chemical usages in fisheries and aquaculture around the world were gathered from 82 research articles and they were then grouped, analyzed, and summarized in accordance with the study's objectives. In the study, the primary sources of NPS pollution load and their consequences on the water quality of water bodies were reviewed, together with the volume of agricultural runoff and rainfall-runoff. Numerous studies have demonstrated that fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural runoff can bio-accumulate in the tissues of aquatic animals and endanger the safety of food. Public knowledge of source reduction should be encouraged, and related regulations should be put into place, in order to further reduce the NPS pollution load and maintain a pollution-free environment.
Keywords
Nonpoint source pollution, rain water runoff, agricultural runoff, modeling, and best management practices.
