Key Environmental Acts and Water Quality Parameters
Environmental Acts and Water Quality Parameters
Water Act, 1974
The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 aims to prevent and control water pollution. It establishes the Central and State Pollution Control Boards (CPCB and SPCBs) to monitor and regulate water pollution and ensure the cleanliness of water bodies.
Air Act, 1981
The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 is designed to control and reduce air pollution. It empowers pollution control boards to set air quality

Simulating Rectangular Waveguides in HFSS
- Create a new project in the HFSS terminal.
- On the project menu, click Insert HFSS Design.
- On the HFSS menu, click Solution Type and select Modal.
- On the HFSS menu, click Draw and select Box.
- Specify the coordinates and dimensions in the properties window as (0, 0, 0), x=100mm, y= 62.5mm, z= 31.25mm.
- Assign the material to the object as air or vacuum by right-clicking on the 3D model.
- On the HFSS menu, click Boundaries, select Assign, and choose Finite Conductivity
Environmental Challenges and Sustainable Solutions
Ozone Formation and Depletion
- Formation: Ozone (O3) is formed naturally in the Earth’s stratosphere through the interaction of ultraviolet (UV) radiation with oxygen molecules (O2).
- Depletion: Human-made chemicals, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and halons, have contributed to the depletion of ozone in the stratosphere, leading to the formation of the ozone hole.
Effects of Ozone Depletion on Life
- Increased exposure to harmful UV radiation can lead to skin cancer, cataracts, and immune system suppression
