| Summary: | The main cause of our environment's degradation is and continues to be industrial pollution, which has an impact on the water we drink, air breathed or soil that we inhabit. However, water pollution is perhaps the greatest threat to mankind's present welfare. In the world of social welfare economics, environment pollution is an external factor. An externality exists when reali, i.e. nonmonetary, variables are included in the utility and production relationships of individual. An externality can either be harmful or beneficial. Some of the negative externalities that can affect the utility functions of people living in a neighborhood include the noise pollution from aircrafts at airports. Also, the pollution of a river can affect the water supply operations of agricultural and industrial areas. This study is focused on the collision of water pollution in the Noyyal River basin, in the places Karur, Erode, and Coimbatore districts. The health status of villagers, agriculture and livestock populations is at the centre of this study. To this end, 31 villages and 600 households were chosen to the subject of a primary survey. Three major health camps have been organized in order to understand the extent of collision of water pollution on the health status of the villagers. The study showed that almost all of the 31 sampled villages had been impacted by industrial wastes. A common verification by the medical team was health problems such as skin allergy, respiratory infection, general allergy and ulcers. In the areas of health, agriculture, livestock and drinking water, the impact of the water pollution has a significant affect on the rural community. |
