Agriculture, industry, and human survival all require fresh water. It is a limited earth resource. Fresh water resources are depleting at an alarming rate on a daily basis. Water quality is becoming a global issue, and the river Godavari is no exception. 

The Godavari River, which originates in Trimbakeswar, Nasik, Maharashtra, India, is India's second biggest river. Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Orissa, and Andhra Pradesh are the states through which it flows. Domestic pollution pollutes 82% of the river that runs through Nasik City, while industry contaminate 18%. Plastic trash, industrial waste, pond effluents, chemical residues in agriculture, and notably untreated sewage from villages, towns, and cities along the Godavari River, according to sources.

The Godavari River also contributes to the formation of a Konaseema, a fertile rice granary with abundant tobacco, sugarcane, and coconut plantations. Apart from that, the Godavari has a significant cultural significance. Despite the fact that human activities have a detrimental impact on this river. The river is suffering from tonnes of pollution as a result of many human activities, leading the river's ecosystem to be disrupted. Several factories have been built across the river in Maharashtra, releasing industrial effluents and sewage into the water. As a result of overharvesting, marine species are being lost, and overuse of fertilisers on this agriculture is causing eutrophication.

However, it is past time for the government to take action against those who pollute and destroy this river. Scientific knowledge and technology to be one of the key areas to manage the river and we also encourage everyone to take little actions to conserve the beautiful Godavari river in order to save our country's future.
