Water pollution has become one of the major threat to human health. The safe drinking water is now globally one of the most serious challenges.Vast industrialization, uses of insecticides and pesticides and vast use of fertilizers to meet the need of food of exponential growth in population is responsible to change physico-chemical characteristics of water.
