The problem of water pollution in India is not a new one. It has been an age- old practice that people dispose of their waste into rivers and other water bodies. The consumption of polluted water is intimately connected with the occurrence of many deadly diseases. Rapid and unplanned population growth in India is a key factor to the whole equation of water pollution. This paper provides an overview of population growth, the mechanism of water pollutant load, causes of water pollution in India as well as the diseases resulting from the use of polluted water.

Zhangweinan basin is a typical area where has the most serious water resource shortage and water environmental deterioration problems in north of China. To improve the increasingly deteriorated water eco-environment, studies on the integrated management of water resources and water environment in the basin were carried out with focus on the prevention and control of water pollution, and based on which, an integrated management platform on water environment was developed. This paper introduces the platform architecture and elaborates the construction process of the total pollutant load control model and pollution incident early warning model. This platform provides technical supports for weakening the total pollutant load in the basin, reducing the pollutant load flowing into the Bohai Sea, and increasing the eco-flow of river channel and flow into the Bohai Sea.

In 2006, the Korean Ministry of Environment established <The 1st Water Environment Management Master Plan>. The plan aimed at “Clean Water, Eco River 2015” and guided water quality protection and strengthened water management. This study evaluated the achievement of the target water quality among the 33 mid-level basins in the Nakdong River basin and assessments of the causes of non-achievement of the target water quality by mid-level basins. According to the 2015 water quality data, only 16 of the 33 mid-level basins achieved the target water quality. The low achievement of the target water quality was attributed to the failure to predict the pollutant load at the time of planning, problems with the management of tributaries, implementation of the <Four major river restoration project>, and problems with the representativeness of the water quality representative points. In addition, feasibility studies on the water quality monitoring representative point used in each mid-level basin were also performed; some mid-level basins required improvement or change of the representative points. This study also suggested further research to improve water quality, such as detailed studies of the management of pollutant load, mainstream tributaries, and water quality indicators, for the revision of the current ongoing <The 2nd Water Environment Management Master Plan>.
