Role of Modern Biotechnology in the Era of River Water Pollution

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
River Health and Ecology in South Asia

Abstract

The aquatic environment is the governance system for sustenance of life on earth. Nowadays, aquatic bodies are under serious threat throughout the globe due to industrialization and other anthropogenic activities. Pollution has been a stress for aquatic organisms, plants, and humans along with the pressure from changing climatic conditions. Freshwater is only 2.5% of the total water available on the earth and out of total freshwater 1.2 is only available on the surface rest are either in glacial form or in groundwater. The protection of high-quality freshwater is essential to maintain a healthy riverine ecosystem. This is an approach to implement advanced scientific technologies such as; microbiology, molecular biology, biotechnology, bioinformatics, metagenomics and other omics platforms to observe, analyze, and manage the information obtained from aquatic ecosystems to develop superior biotechnological methods to maintain the quality of freshwater.
