Abstract:
Water pollution is one of the main major concerns in the world today. It escalates the major water problems experienced in the world today as it further reduces the scarce fresh water sources by increasing competition for water of adequate quality for various specific uses. Pollution of the biosphere by industrial waste water has. accelerated dramatically since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The primary sources of this pollution are the burning of fossil fuels, the industrial waste water, municipal wastes, fertilizers, pesticides and sewage.
The Uganda's rapid industrial growth rate levels of about 3.8% have led to emissions of these pollutants into Water bodies. This threatens not only the aquatic ecosystems but also human health through contamination of drinking water.
