Water pollution

Water pollution is also a problem. This is a difficult form of pollution to deal with mainly because it is the result of storm runoff. Essentially, rain water soaks many impurities in the urban areas which run off into rivers and streams.

To combat this, both the local governments and private citizens have to take many extra efforts to reduce such problems. To a degree they have been successful although inefficient bureaucracies have limited progress. It is safe to say, however, some progress is better than zero progress.

Vizag is one city in one country, but it is endemic of the problem many countries face. Actually, things in Vizag are not all that bad compared to other parts of the world. China, for example, possesses some of the most polluted air in human history. The long term effects of such corrupted air will be revealed in time. And, no, the revelation will not be a pretty one.
