The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, is a significant legislation enacted in India to safeguard and regulate the quality of water resources and prevent pollution. The Act aims to preserve and restore the ecological balance by preventing the pollution of water bodies, promoting sustainable water management practices, and ensuring the protection of public health and the environment.
Affected businesses must prioritise compliance with the Act, implement pollution control measures, obtain necessary permits and consents, and engage with stakeholders to minimise their environmental footprint and protect water resources for future generations. By fulfilling their obligations under the Act, businesses contribute to environmental sustainability, public health, and the overall well-being of society.
