Abstract
Rivers are the life line of any country and it supports a large volume of population since long time. All ancient
civilizations have grown in the lap of different rivers as rivers are the source of fresh water, essential to sustain life.
After Industrial revolution and population explosion there is a huge pressure on the rivers across the globe. Many
rivers have lost their existence due to disappearance of glaciers while some rivers are facing survival problem due
to heavy pollution from cities and industries. Industries discharge their treated and untreated waste in the nearby
rivers. Several cities also dumped their domestic waste in the river, lead to contamination of water. The domestic
and industrial waste carries the load of different heavy metals which are harmful for the aquatic as well as human
life. Many metals are known for their carcinogenic effects and some are also affect nervous system of living being.
These metals get accumulated in the plants, animals and humans via food chain and become the reason of different
diseases. In the present article, efforts are made to explain the heavy metal and its role in river environment.
