The impact of aquatic pollution is so alarming that it has attracted even politicians and administrators apart from scientists and technocrats. Sincere efforts are seldom made in developing countries to evolve methods for pollution monitoring and control, in parallel with the rapid advancements in industry, spreading of urban settlements and technological gallops.
