Urbanization has intensified water pollution problems from "summary" of Water Pollution by Arvind Kumar
The rapid growth of urban areas has significantly exacerbated the issue of water pollution. As cities expand, more land is paved over, leading to increased runoff of pollutants into water bodies.

This influx of pollutants includes not only sewage and chemicals but also litter and debris, further degrading water quality. Moreover, urban areas are often characterized by a high demand for water resources, resulting in over-extraction from rivers and groundwater.
