Water is a vital resource to support human life, which can be more exploited by humans than any other resource for the essence of life.The rapid pace of industrial activity, population expansion, and unplanned urbanization have mainly contributed to the severe deterioration of water quality.Undoubtedly, water is a distinctive substance, as it can naturally renew and purify itself by evaporation and precipitation, allow pollutants to settle down through the process of sedimentation or break down, or dilute the pollutants to a point where the concentrations are not detrimental.

Water is a vital resource to support human life, which can be more exploited by humans than any other resource for the essence of life. Undoubtedly, water is a distinctive substance, as it can naturally renew and purify itself by evaporation and precipitation, allow pollutants to settle down through the process of sedimentation or break down, or dilute the pollutants to a point where the concentrations are not detrimental. However, this natural process is time consuming and is complicated when extreme quantities of harmful contaminants are added to the water. Consequently, water pollution has emerged as one of the most important environmental problems in this modern era. Excessive utilization of available resources by mankind is ultimately ruining and polluting the water bodies that serve as the source for drinking water, including rivers, lakes, wells, and natural springs. There are two main sources of water pollution; point sources and nonpoint sources of pollutants. The rapid pace of industrial activity, population expansion, and unplanned urbanization have mainly contributed to the severe deterioration of water quality. Industrial water, even natural water, is often contaminated by toxic, or sometimes, carcinogenic impurities, causing ecological disequilibrium and dreadful health disorders in humans.
