Geography ch 1 - Field Visit — Social Studies STD 10 — Question

To reduce river pollution during a field visit, the following measures can be taken:
i. It is our social responsibility to ensure that the cleanliness and sanctity of the place of visit is not disturbed during our visit. So during field visit, we must ensure that we do not throw trash or litter around us.
ii. We must ensure that we do not throw trash or litter into the river. We must use the dustbins for throwing empty packets of snacks, empty water bottles, left-over food items, etc. Also, we must try to segregate dry and wet waste.
iii. We must carry huge garbage bags so as to use them to collect trash in absence of a dustbin or if the dustbin is overflowing with garbage. This garbage bag can be disposed later.
iv. Apart from this, we can arrange pollution awareness programs for local people through street play.
v. Moreover, we can give information about the adverse effects of activities like washing clothes, vehicle cleaning, etc. which are carried out near the rivers.
