In many developing countries, there is a problem of declining quality of air and water. What are the causes for this and what measures could be taken to prevent this?

In the Third-world

countries

, a poor quality of

air

and water has always been a concern. A poor sewerage system and pollution are the main reasons for

this

issue.

However

, implementing certain policies at the national

level

can help improve the situation.

This

essay will look at these causes in more detail,

as well as

some solutions will be presented too.

but suffer from a lack of the required technology to utilize these

resources

appropriately.

For example

, less consideration is given to the drainage system and waste disposal during town planning in these

countries

.

This

results in most of the litter and sewerage water being disposed of in the lakes and rivers, contributing to a low standard of water supply in the houses. These nations are

also

suffering from polluted

air

and

this

is mainly owing to the smoke coming from factories and old cars. As an example, for the past many years, one major city in my country has been listed in the top 5 most polluted cities in the world. During winters, the smoke in the

air

in that city combines with the fog and creates "smog".

This

causes a hike in respiratory diseases during those months and

also

leads to many road accidents

due to

poor visibility. As a solution to the above problems, governments of these less-developed

countries

should implement strategies at the national

level

for waste recycling and pollution reduction. If designated recycle bins were to be installed in every residential and commercial area, the residents would be more likely to use these services and avoid littering. Reducing smoke from industries and vehicles is another attempt that can be made towards a greener environment.

Also

, if the concerned authorities take strict measures against the violators of these rules, everyone would be bound to play their part in

this

mutual goal. In conclusion, going green is a global aim and taking steps towards a cleaner environment would ensure a healthy society for us and the coming generations. Going smokeless, aiming to recycle garbage, avoiding littering, and mindful use of

resources

should be aimed at a personal and national

level

.

Lastly

, change always occurs first at an individual

level

and every citizen should play his part in
