“…Hooda et al 2000;Lovell and Sullivan 2006). Of these pollutants, dissolved organic carbon (Freeman et al 2001;Holden 2005;Wallage et al 2006), nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) (Heathwaite et al 1996;Haygarth and Jarvis 2002;Dorioz et al 2006) and pesticides (Environment Agency 1999; Blanchoud et al 2007;Garrod et al 2007) are the most important issues for some land-owning UK water utilities due to the need to remove them from raw water to meet regulatory standards.…”

Although water constitutes 71% of the earth's surface, only 0.3% of it is available as fresh water for human use. Moreover, the quality of fresh water in ground and surface systems is of great concern, as potable water needs to have appropriate mineral content. Ground and surface water quality in rural and urban environments is affected by both natural processes and anthropogenic influences. Because of this, water is becoming scarcer as the population increases across the world. Natural processes leading to changes in water quality include weathering of rocks, evapotranspiration, depositions due to wind, leaching from soil, run-off due to hydrological factors, and biological processes in the aquatic environment. These natural processes cause changes in the pH and alkalinity of the water, and also phosphorus loading, increase in fluoride content and high concentrations of sulphates. Anthropogenic factors affecting water quality include impacts due to agriculture, use of fertilizers, manures and pesticides, animal husbandry activities, inefficient irrigation practices, deforestation of woods, aquaculture, pollution due to industrial effluents and domestic sewage, mining, and recreational activities. These anthropogenic influences cause elevated concentrations of heavy metals, mercury, coliforms and nutrient loads. This paper studies the effects of natural processes and human influences in rural and urban aquatic systems. Pollution due to environmental parameters such as heavy metal pollution, heavy metals and bacterial and pathogenic contamination of both urban and rural areas is discussed in detail.

“…The herbicides or fungicides currently used in aquaculture were originally developed for use in agriculture or as additives for boat anti-fouling paints 26 . Accordingly, many studies have investigated and demonstrated the presence of pesticides and biocides in surface waters [27][28][29][30][31] .…”

“…The present chapter will detail the alternative types, the respective efficiency depending on substratum and vegetation type. The discussion on the shortcomings of each alternative, the development level and the risks for humans or resulting glyphosate, whatever the geographical region, accounts for about half of non-agricultural use in terms of quantity, one-eighth of glyphosate sales Blanchoud et al 2007). Glyphosate is also used for agricultural ways to sign urban input, despite its increasing urban use.…”
