Short Description:

In this term paper a very little percentage of polluted water resources are shown as we cannot visit all of them. As we had many barriers like

time management, ability etc so we tried to cover the mostly polluted area of Dhaka Mohanagar. The leading area is old Dhaka and its

surrounded area. So, we focused it vividly. Then we chose the local area of our own like Banashree, Hatirjheel, Rampura, Mohammadpur and

Gulshan. All of the pictures were taken within these areas.

Conclusion:

At present water pollution is a serious issue for our country. So, we should be aware of our waste management properly and try to keep our

water clear as per as possible for our own benefit. This will help to save the water from pollution and various water born diseases.
