Abstract

The main function of river as a source of water for human life is getting affected due to pollution that occurs as a result of human activities. This problem is even more pronounced with the increment of industrial factories that produce waste residues that are referred to as industrial effluent. This paper discusses the management of river through legal approach. The authors analyse the legal mechanism namely the law relating to river pollution resulting from the discharge of industrial waste or effluent. As one of the mechanisms that are able to control and overcome the problem of pollution, the legislations that come under discussion are the Environmental Quality Act 1974 and Environmental Quality (Industrial Effluent) Regulations 2009. The scope of the discussion is on the provisions relating to pollution control resulted from the discharge of effluents by industrial factories to the river. In addition, discussion and some suggestion for improvement are put forward in the conclusion.
