The trouble is not only in the city of Tianjin but wastewater pollution in China is also found in the east central part of China which is three hundred miles west of Shanghai, lies the Chao Lake and is one of China's five largest freshwater lakes. The major resource of drinkable water supply comes from the Chao Lake. It is also used for an economic as well as an entertaining resource. From here the water is used for profitable and spare time fishing and as a basis for damping up the water. In several years, the quick improvement of industrial and metropolitan regions plus transformation in agricultural performance has caused harm to the lake. Even though, the instant action of industrial waste water has restricted contamination by placing heavy metals for not permitting the toxic or dangerous substances to get inside the lake. It has become congested with nourishments. These nutrients are supplied from municipal and industrial waste water because of corrosion of soil and from extreme use of chemical stimulants on agricultural land. For the solution to re-establish the lake's water fineness and to get it better for the health and economic anxiety for the region. Additionally, the two other localities in China namely Xian City, Shaanxi Province with a population of 2.8 million in the metropolitan region has agreed with the fact of the main water pollution issues in the past many years. Many industries which are located in this City has an enormous measurement of unprocessed domestic and industrial waste water course into small watercourse foremost to the Wei River. Water structures of this area have become severely contaminated. This water is also used again for further downstream maintenance and for other household functions. There is an ecological and health distress for the population living in this region. A project was planned for a new wastewater management plant in Xian City. Although, the project is cost-effective but environmentally it's an agreeable method of treating sewage. (Kris Min). However, concerning the health factors of the society, we must take into consideration the number of innocent people that are affected by the polluted waters. These health factors include the affects on humans due to the toxins and hazardous pollutants in the water system. Many waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhoid have affected China for the past...

To look after for the importance of water sources, changes have to be made in the way we see and take care of our environment. The actual way out for caring about water quality must begin by destroying the starting place of toxic waste. Such successful and permanent act is the completion of cleaning the production processes. By getting rid of the use of noxious from the very first stages of production, contamination of water resources can be successfully prevented. The steady disclosure to polluted fresh water resources will be blocked or unclean stinking river and lakes as well as polluted groundwater have made water contamination a given realism we have realized to understand. Therefore, the focal point on technology destined for cleaning up the pollution to a certain extent rather than to put a stop to on it and to outline laws that simply control the amount of poison in water rather than excluding it wholly.

Interruptions of any aspect of the cycle have negative effects that multiply in seriousness as they
