Question

Which one of the following is the main polluter of Yamuna water in Delhi ?

• A. Flood water spreading
• B. Dumping of domestic waste
• C. Use of pesticides
• D. Use of fertilizers

Hint:

The main source of pollution in rivers like Yamuna is often untreated sewage and industrial waste, so proper waste management is key to reducing pollution.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Delhi's Yamuna River faces its most substantial pollution from domestic waste discharge. Accelerated urbanization results in the direct release of untreated sewage, household refuse, and industrial wastewater into the river, causing severe contamination with high toxin and waste concentrations. Although agricultural pesticide and fertilizer use contributes to pollution in farming regions, domestic waste dumping remains the principal cause of Yamuna's pollution in Delhi.Therefore, the correct choice is (B) Dumping of domestic waste.
