Radioactive Pollution
Indian Government policies allow "permissible" levels of contaminated water to be released from nuclear power plants. But "permissible" does not mean that it is safe. Radiation is released from these plants in the form of liquid, gases, and solid radioactive wastes all of the time. There are nuclear power plants all over the country that have been leaking contaminated water since the 1990s. The worst is that it doesn't take a major disaster for these power plants to release radiation into the environment. These high levels of radiation can finds its way into the major rivers of India. With the major rivers being so important to the people, it is very dangerous when the radiation is in the water.
Radioactive materials can be very dangerous to the health of many people if it gets into the environment. If it gets into the air, it can travel several hundred miles, which in turn can cause many people to get sick, and can also cause cancer in the future. If the radiation gets into the ground, it can make the soil very contaminated. This can cause crops to go bad, and would cause farmers to not be able to use the land for a very long time until all the radiation is gone. If the radiation somehow is able to get into the water supplies, this could contaminate the drinking water for a good portion of the country which would make many people very sick. Many people use the water to drink, bathe in, and to wash clothes, so if radiation gets into the water it could potentially harm a big percentage of the population in India.
