Observe the image given below and answer the following question: Would you like to change any of the things that you see in the picture? Why and how?

Yes, I would like to bring the changes. In the picture we can see that the river is polluted at the village and cities. River is a source of freshwater. Polluted water in the river caused many water-borne diseases and affects our health. I would like to bring changes to the river by doing the following things: By creating awareness in the people of the village about, what exactly happens when they pollute the river. For example, People in the villages, bathe animals, wash utensils and clothes in the river water. Doing these activities in the river spread diseases and affects our health. Similarly, the people in the cities throw sewage waste and industrial waste directly into the river. I can create awareness among the people that industrial and sewage waste should be first treated to remove the harmful chemicals from it before throwing into the river. Doing this will make the river water free from toxic chemicals and the lives of the many aquatic organisms living in the water will not be disturbed.

Observe the below-given image carefully and answer the following question: Which of the places shown in the picture would you like to live in? Why?

I would like to live in a place where the river begins because, at this point the river has clean, fresh and non-polluted water. The water that flows along a river through the villages, towns and cities get polluted by the various human activities like washing clothes, introducing the toxic chemicals from the industries, bathing animals, etc. Polluted water causes damage to our health and leads to many water-borne diseases.

Observe the image and answer the following question: If you wanted to drink some water, from which part of the river would you like to drink? Why?

The River is the main source of freshwater. I would like to drink water from the starting point where the river begins before it reaches the village and towns. The water is clean and pure in the beginning, and it gets polluted as it reaches the village. Further, it gets contaminated due to the release of industrial wastes near towns and cities. Drinking such dirty water near the village, cities and towns leads to water-borne diseases affecting our health.

Observe the picture carefully and answer the following question: At which places did the colour of the water in the river change? Why did this happen? Discuss.

The colour of the water in the river changed when it reached villages, towns and cities. The colour of the river changed due to the pollution created by the surrounding people by releasing the pollutants from factories and industries, washing clothes, utensils, animals, etc. Release of waste results in water pollution and makes it unfit for the survival of aquatic organisms.

Observe the picture and answer the following question: What could be done to keep rivers clean? Discuss.

It is very important to keep the rivers clean as they are the source of fresh water. To keep rivers clean the people living near the bank of the river should follow certain measures. They are as follows- They should never dump and litter the wastes like plastic, garbage, etc., into rivers. They should not bathe their animals and wash their clothes and utensils in the river. They should not throw the sewage waste and industrial waste into the rivers. Set up water treatment plants to remove all toxic chemicals before letting the wastewater into the rivers. Following these measures can stop the water pollution, spread the of water-borne diseases and save the lives of many aquatic organisms living in the water.
