The quality of water generally refers to the component of water present at the optimum level for suitable growth of plants and animals. Aquatic organisms need a healthy environment to live and adequate nutrients for their growth; the productivity depends on the physico-chemical characteristics of the water body. The maximum productivity can be obtained only when the physical and chemical parameters are present at optimum level. Water for human consumption must be free from organisms and chemical substances and such large concentrations may affect health. In this article, water pollution and its effects has been discussed.
