Abstract

Water pollution is one of the most critical environmental challenges facing Uttarakhand today. Despite being a region rich in freshwater resources and spiritual heritage, the state’s rivers and water bodies are under immense pressure due to increasing human activity, industrial growth, and poor waste management. This article explores the multifaceted effects of water pollution in Uttarakhand—on public health, ecosystems, agriculture, religious life, and the economy. It further identifies the key causes behind this growing crisis and recommends strategies for sustainable water governance in the Himalayan state.
